Klipper Error on new build

[WillyM]

I'm in the process of sorting out the firmware for my newly built 2.4 (using a Manta M8P/CB1). I've added a 2.4 config file and updated Clipper, Mainsail etc, but I still have an outstanding Klipper error. It states "Include file '/home/biqu/printer-data/config/config/generic-bigtreetech-xxx-cfg' does not exist.I've looked around Github but don't see such a file, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction and also tell me where this file should go.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

Here is their generic cfg file for the Manta M8P v2.

In Mainsail, on the Machine tab you can upload the config in with the rest of the files already there. In your printer.cfg you will need to change the [include] line to reflect the name of the generic file you upload so it doesn't keep searching for '...bigtreetech-xxx-cfg'.

Thank you, I have already pasted a 2.4 config file into printer config section. is this file required also? Do I  do include it under printer config also? I apologise for asking these questions - I'm a real newbie to firmware set up.

It looks like an [include generic.bigtreetech-xxx.cfg] file from your printer.cfg file. I think it is meant to guide you to set up a printer.cfg file and not to be included as an include file.

OK, I think that I'm getting there - I think that I need to include a line at the start of the config file to say "include ' name of config file'" I already have the Manta V1 file in there. This is the Github listing for the config file that I am using " Manta-M8P/V1.0_V1.1/Firmware/Klipper/generic-bigtreetech-manta-m8p-v1_1.cfg"

If I were you, I would consider reading up on this: https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/software/configuration.html

It discusses how to set up klipper on your voron.

Manta and CB1 are not the best boards to get support on, especially since BTT keeps updating a product combination that was designed in a time there was a chip shortage, but that is not the point. 

Try to follow that documentation to understand a bit how the klipper printer.cfg is supposed to be organised.

Then do not use the file you mentioned, but in the same repository and folder there is a file called generic----VORON.cfg. It is a better place to start. Simply copy and paste in an empty printer.cfg and see if it applies to your 2.4

 

Good luck with this fun part of setting up your printer

The [include generic-bigtreetech-xxx-cfg] line in your printer.cfg is telling Klipper to find and load a file that isn't there. With the file that you have, you would just change that line to [include generic-bigtreetech-manta-m8p-v1_1.cfg] or whatever you have named it. Every [include] line needs to find a file. If you aren't using one of the listed files then you can # comment out the line or remove it entirely from your printer.cfg.

@WillyM Which M8P do you have v1.1 or v2.0?

I have the M8P v1.1 /CB1/EBB36 in my 2.4 - I'll gladly pass on my .cfgs if you want.

Thank you. That makes sense.

Thank you,  I do have the v1.1, but I'm not using the EBB36 - that will probably come later, and I may take up your kind offer.

I second all of this. It will help you immensely down the line to really dig in and understand how the Klipper config files work.

Here you go. Naturally you'll have to change some of the pin outs and end stops (I use can so X end Stop, extruder, hotend heater, hotend thermistor must be changed) and I use TAP so that has a CAN address.

If you need further help or some of the other macros, just shout.

Thank you so much.

Getting some success, finally figured that error message. Managed to get the Klipper bin file sorted, and now I have a machine that is responding to commands and I can proceed with set up. Thank you everyone again.
