Trident - 300 Yes I'm Hooked!

[YaaJ]

Just received the nofificattion for your post. Minutes after I started to do some searching about firmware updates.

Some message similar to this one ?

Have this on both the 0.2 and the 2.4

Found an interesting reading : https://docs.vorondesign.com/community/howto/drachenkatze/automating_klipper_mcu_updates.html

While writing this, I see there's another commit by Bigtreetech for the STM32g0 (EBB36) 22 minutes ago !

Shouldn't the EBB and SB2209 be updatable over CANBUS ?

Yes, that is the error I got as well, both the mainboard and the EBB devices need the newest version of Klipper installed. Can be flashed over Canbus if Katapult is installed. I've used this link to reflash both devices.

One way to find out if you've enabled Katapult previously is to press the reset button twice on your mainboard, ssh into the device do the lsusb command and you should see your mainboard ST32 number come up.

The weird thing is that the error disappeared after flashing just the "linux firmware" on the RasPi... Was about to reflash everything... Klipper didn't complain anymore about the EBB36. Seems to be related with some recent changes in the accelerometer communication protocol (?). It's illogical Klipper now doesn't complain about the EBB36, as it seems it's about the ADXL, and there's one on the EBB. Looking at the Kliper change history didn't help due to a massive lack of knowledge.

Now learning the configuration files, and searching how to update everything at once with one script for all the controllers. (in other words, learning the "make", ".config" and "Kconfig" options. The files in the ~/klipper/src directory. (not familiar with make, as I always used IDEs that hide the make options)

Will not hijack your thread. I will open another one if it is of interest.

I can see why @mvdveer likes the Mellpow products I've used them now on both my printer and I like them as well. The last product is the SB2040 V3 that I installed on my Trident. I like how neat the wiring arrangement is on the SB fan side the option for DC and PWM switched and that CanBus is available for Eddy probes.

  The BTT SB2209 for some reason the cooling fan circuit quit working so I'm trying to replace any BTT products with the Mellow ones. The Milo Millenium Mill I'm building also uses a Mellow controller Mellow Fly CDY3, the VzBot uses a Mellow Super 8 I believe, you guys that built VzBot @mvdveer @Penatr8tor @TitusADuxass how was the experience with that board? If any of the BTT motherboards fail, I'd like to replace it with a Mellow board.

@Penatr8tor I haven't got much experience with the Super 8 Pro that's in 330.

It was easier to install/configured than the Manta boards that I've got I'm my 2 vorons.

In fact it was so easy I'm upgrading my v2.4 with one (I'm going try Canbus on it).

What can I say - I am mellow - easy to set up, no hassles so far

I had a very good experience with the Fly Super8 Pro. No issues with flashing, etc.

Dude, I'm right there with you. Once the board is setup... There's nothing you need to do after that so it's mostly invisible apart from any update issues downstream.

I installed updates for the Trident shortly after receiving the MCU read error. Thinking that the update caused the error I dove into some diagnostics, and I found that the issue is a 120-ohm resistor. It's a Mellow SB2040 V3 with dip switch 1 in the on position. It meters 60 ohms at the H/L connection. I can either purchase a replacement board or salvage the SB2040 with Mellow UTOR board to operate on RS232 (UART to USB). Does anyone have any experience with the UTOR? It's half the price of the replacement SB2040 v3 and have one coming. It uses the Canbus cable the H/L wires connect to the Port ID, and 24V is supplied to the board and distributed to the terminal beside the ports. A USB A to C cable it connected to the motherboard for communication.

I couldn't find an STL for BTT HDMI 7" mount with the Clickly Clank door. I found one for the regular mounting of the screen to a Voron and luckily it had the CAD files available. I modified the mounting bracket to extend 25mm out from it original position. Will see how they fit after they've finished printing.

Slight door hinge adjustment to clear the screen and it's all good!
