MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Timer too close fault


Recommended Posts

I updated Klipper, Moonraker, Fluidd, and my Raspberry Pi this last week and upon reboot I am receiving "MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Timer too close" right after I try any movement like a "Home all". I have rebuilt the MCU firmware and the issue persists. Any suggestions where to troubleshoot? Below is taken from the Klippy.log:

Its really hard to know I'm afraid. This is a list of potential things to look at. https://www.lslabs.co.uk/docs/mcu-mcu-shutdown-timer-too-close/

How did the problem first present? Did it happen immediately after the software on the Pi was updated? or did you update any board firmwares using the 'make menuconfig'?

If it was just immediately after the software update my first thing to try would be a rollback to a previous build of klipper using Kiauh and seeing if that does anything. I have had times where updates and firmware flashes did not go smoothly and just needed to be rolled back and done again.

Strange as it may sound, assuming you're using CanBus, make sure that the plug is connected firmly into the print head assembly. I had random stopping like this and I (finally!!!!!!) discovered that on certain prints, the Canbus cable could get caught behind the gantry wiring chain, when it would tug enough on the plug to cause it to come loose. Once the plug was loosened any further attempt at movement would trip it. I've now rearranged things to stop the thing getting caught and also put a cable clip around the plug to keep it in as the stock bracket doesn't seem to work that well.
