Any help would be great!!!

First off, you’re tracking a weird Git repository for Klipper.
I think you’re pulling Kevin’s version which I think is his test version.

Git version: 'f7567a0'
Branch: master
Remote: origin
Tracked URL: https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper.git

It should be like this…

Git version: 'v0.12.0-143-g01c7befa'
Branch: master
Remote: origin
Tracked URL: https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper

Second, The recommended baud rate for Klipper is 250000 and stated in the FAQs

https://www.klipper3d.org/FAQ.html#wheres-my-serial-port

Third - Are you using serial or USB? It seems like you have a weird mix of both.

Third, your serial setup is just a symbolic link to one of the USB ports.
They can do wonky things sometimes.

Run

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0

You’ll get an output like

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 15 12:34 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0

Whatever is at the end of that, you can change your serial: to in your [mcu] to temporarily see if that works. In other words…

[mcu]
serial = /dev/ttyUSB0

In general it’s better to use the /dev/serial/by-id/… path but I’ve seen where people have had issues with that.

Try those things first and come back

Got rid of OctoKlipper and went for mainsail.

Git version: ‘v0.12.0-192-gb7f7b8a3’
Branch: master
Remote: origin
Tracked URL: GitHub - Klipper3d/klipper: Klipper is a 3d-printer firmware

I lowered the Baud to 115200. Supposedly with the 4.2.2 board and this issue people have had success with a lower baudrate. Tried both to no avail

And no luck with Serial = /dev/ttyUSB0

New Klippy for new build

Baud is defaulted back to 250000
Everything is defaulted to this guide: How to Install Klipper on the Ender 3 (With Mainsail OS) | Obico Knowledge Base
with the exception of your above mentioned suggestion serial = / dev/ttyUSB0
