Howdy all. I’m trying to install klipper on an skr mini e3. I have klipper running on 2 other printers, both with a stock creality control card. But I decided to ‘upgrade’ on the one I’m building and picked up an skr. I have been fighting with this for literally months, and have walked away from it for the last month because I want to chuck it in a lake. I live on a lake, so that’s not an idle threat.
Anwyay, this is my 2nd card. I bought one, had this same issue (below) and then bought a brand new one thinking the 1st, which was 2nd hand was defective. To date, I have 3 different pi 3b’s all running klipper and all running dedicated printers. I’ve swapped them back and forth on the skr board to verify that the 1 I’m trying to use is not the issue. The skr pi, when moved to my other printers works fine and the other printers pi’s moved to the skr, all fail identically.
I have swapped cables back and forth from working printers to the skr, no change. I’ve changed SD cards, no change, I’ve built the firmware using the skr specs at least a hundred times (because why not) and no change, I’ve download and used pre-compiled firmware from skr, and no change.
Uploading the firmware, the board appears to flash each time, the ‘firmware.bin’ file is renamed ‘firmware.cur’ every time.
However,
Going through the PI direct using putty and trying to just find the board in order to get the config file set and I ALWAYS get,
“pi@core:~ $ ls /dev/serial/by-id~
ls: cannot access ‘/dev/serial/by-id~’: No such file or directory”
I know this is supposed to be a good card and a proven combo, I’ve followed several tutorials on how to do what I’m doing, and I’m just failing over and over and over again. I don’t know what I’m missing or what I’m doing wrong as I’m going step by step.
