2 in 1 Out BTT Hotend Config Issues

General Discussion
1

Hello, friends! I am at a loss here. I recently got a cr10 v3 with a bad board. i replaced it with a octopus v1.1 and grabbed a [ZSYONG 2 in 1 out switching hotend. When i went to configure it, i hit a brick wall. I keep getting the error: Option ‘sync_extruder_motion’ is not valid in section ‘gcode_macro t0’
Here is a link to the relevant changes, but i do not understand how to write it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Config

See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.

OCTOPUS v1.1 CR-10 v3

For better compatibility with GCodes generated for Marlin, you

may wish to add the following section, if you have BLTouch:

The Octopus only has 4 heater outputs which leaves an extra stepper

This can be used for a second Z stepper, dual_carriage, extruder co-stepper,

or other accesory such as an MMU

hi there,

i think u got the Gcode section wrong looking at my own setup
u write

[gcode_macro T0]
gcode =

i believe it should be

[gcode_macro T0]
gcode:

replace the = by : and see if it helps

3

In the printer.cfg the OP posted in the first post, it is written with :

In the parsed version of the config file in the klippy.log, all the : are swapped with =

4

i see this in the post at the top,

[gcode_macro T0]
gcode =
#G1 E-50 F900
#Disable right stepper
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION: EXTRUDER=right MOTION_QUEUE=
#Enable main left stepper
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION: EXTRUDER=extruder MOTION_QUEUE=extruder
#G1 E50 F900
[gcode_macro T1]
gcode =
#G1 E-50 F900
#Disable main left stepper
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=extruder MOTION_QUEUE=
#Enable right_stepper
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=right MOTION_QUEUE=extruder
#G1 E50 F900
[gcode_macro TOOLCHANGE_RETRACT]
gcode: G91 G1 E-5 F1500 G1 E-65 F800
#Relative Coordinates
#G91
#Quick 5mm Retract
#G1 E-5 F1500
#Retract 100mm and lift Z 5mm for toolchange
#G1 E-65 F800

and this at the bottom

[gcode_macro T0]
gcode:
# Deactivate stepper in my_extruder_stepper
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=belted_extruder MOTION_QUEUE=
# Activate stepper in extruder
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=extruder MOTION_QUEUE=extruder
#SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0 EXTRUDER=extruder

[gcode_macro T1]
gcode:
# Deactivate stepper in extruder
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=extruder MOTION_QUEUE=
# Activate stepper in my_extruder_stepper
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=belted_extruder MOTION_QUEUE=extruder

double assigned macro’s?

5

You are right, I have overseen that one.
It’s a bit hard to read when not formatted as code with </>

6

if i take a look at config in the file.

[gcode_macro T0]
gcode = 
	SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=belted_extruder MOTION_QUEUE=
	SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=extruder MOTION_QUEUE=extruder

[gcode_macro T1]
gcode = 
	SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=extruder MOTION_QUEUE=
	SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION EXTRUDER=belted_extruder MOTION_QUEUE=extruder
	SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0 EXTRUDER=belted_extruder

and then defined in the config as extruders

[extruder]
step_pin = PF9
dir_pin = PF10
enable_pin = !PG2
microsteps = 64
rotation_distance = 33.500
nozzle_diameter = 0.400

heater_pin = PA2
sensor_pin = PF4
sensor_type = EPCOS 100K B57560G104F
control = pid
pid_kp = 22.2
pid_ki = 1.08
pid_kd = 114
min_temp = 0
max_temp = 250

[filament_motion_sensor encoder_sensor]
detection_length = 7
extruder = extruder1
switch_pin = PG13
pause_on_runout = True

[extruder1]
extruder = extruder
step_pin = PC13
dir_pin = PF0
enable_pin = PF1
microsteps = 64
sensor type = EPCOS 100K B57560G104F
rotation_distance = 7.7201944

i dont see the name belted_extruder. can it be that? shouldn’t it be extruder1

Thank you all for your responses. I believe i’ve made some progress here. Some of those macros were copy and pasted, and as i’m brand new to macros, i had no idea what i was doing. I am now throwing the error: Option ‘sensor_type’ in section ‘extruder1’ must be specified
but i was under the impression that this doesn’t need to be set if its a shared heater/thermostat. Where am i going wrong? All help is greatly appreciated!

Here’s my updated config

One more update. I’m no longer throwing errors, but i’m still suspicious, lol. heres current config
newest config.txt (6.3 KB)

Any issues pop out at anybody? Again, thank you all
