Describe your issue:
I’m using BTT Manta M8P v2.0 and BTT CB2 v1.0. When I use IP Scanner to scan for IP, three IP address appear on the screen. I’ve tried connecting to all three, but none of them worked. I also tried connecting to each IP individually using Putty, but that didn’t work either. I tried plugging in a USB-C cable to find the port and then using Putty to access it, but that didn’t work either. Can someone help me?
Quick update: It turns out the CB2 is booting successfully. I managed to connect an external 24-inch monitor via the Micro HDMI port, and it loaded straight into the KlipperScreen interface! I was also able to find the IP address and can now access the mainsail web interface from my laptop without any issues.
To answer your questions:
My CB2 is running from a 32GB MicroSD card (Thinkplus).
The OS is valid and working fine now since Klipper is fully operational.
However, I am currently facing two minor issues and would love to hear your recommendations:
HDMI Flickering: The display on the 24-inch monitor is unstable, constantly blinking on and off. I suspect it might be a bandwidth/resolution mismatch caused by a cheap Micro HDMI cable (the cable specification says max 1280 resolution, while the monitor is 1080p).
Hidden Mouse Cursor: I connected a standard USB mouse to the Manta M8P, but there is no cursor visible on the screen to control the UI.
Do you have any suggestions on how to stabilize the HDMI output or enable the mouse cursor in KlipperScreen? Any advice would be highly appreciated!
Klipper screen has in its settings a toggle to show or not the maus cursor. I guess the monitor does not have a touch screen…
Anny modification in KlipperScreen settings would show in KlipperScreen.conf in your printer config folder. Im now at work, when I get home I will try to see what will my KlipperScreen.conf show if I enable the mouse cursor.
Thank you so much for the detailed guide and screenshot, printicus
However, I’m stuck in a frustrating catch-22 situation right now:
I cannot access the mainsail web interface via my laptop yet (the IP address times out, probably due to some network mismatch or isolation on the company’s router).
The 24-inch monitor is flickering constantly (blinking on and off)
Since the mouse cursor is hidden and the keyboard doesn’t work on KlipperScreen, I cannot navigate to the settings on the screen to fix anything or check the network.
Since I can’t access the web UI to edit KlipperScreen.conf, is there any way to enable the mouse cursor via the Linux terminal directly? Or is there a keyboard shortcut to bypass KlipperScreen and drop into a standard TTY console?
Awesome news,I finally managed to access the Mainsail web interface on my laptop! It turned out to be a local network routing issue on our company’s router, but it’s completely sorted out now. I also downloaded the KlipperScreen.conf file you provided to fix the hidden mouse cursor once I get everything fully operational. Thank you so much!
Slightly off the subject. I have the same hardware (M8P and CB2) What OS are you using? And, how did you load it? I didn’t get much documentation with either.
