klippy.log

Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed
Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there

Describe your issue:

…i have a manta mp5 with a cb1 and a ebb42 v2. why is klipper or why am I having so much trouble getting them to work… i have spent weeks on this . or should i look into a differand control board?

For anybody to help you, you’re going to have to provide a lot more information.

Why don’t you start with explaining:

  1. What you are doing with the CB1. Can you communicate with it (either through Ethernet or WiFi)?
  2. How you are burning Klipper into the M5P? How are you setting up communications between the CB1 and the MCU on the M5P?
  3. How are you programming the EB42?
  4. What does your CAN cable look like?

Please start with that and we’ll go from there.

  1. yes I can ssh into it, I can log in to the Klipper gui screen . i have no mcu , but i did flash it and it worked , well it was talking to the manta board.
  2. I burned the os to the sdcard for the cb1, I run make menuconfig set the setting according to the klipper generic printer.cfg. then i run make, i take the klipper.bin copy it to a differant sdcard and insert it into the mcu card slot on the manta board. and yes i do change it from klipper.bin to firmware.bin…
  3. as far as the eb 42 , that could be me not knowing anything about klipper.
  4. my can cable is a twisted pair high to high and low to low …

You’re still really light on information.

Please provide your klippy.log as specified when you first put in the request.

Along with that, provide the steps you’ve gone through to get to this point. Also include the printer that you’re going to use the Manta and the EBB board on.

We’re not mind readers and the more information that you provide, the faster and more efficiently we can help you.

klippy.log (22.6 KB)
i am using the BTT manta mp5 manual.
BIGTREETECH MANTA M5P V1.0 User Manual.pdf (4.8 MB)
The printer i have was a anet A8 back in 20016, It now has a SKR 1.4 running klipper with 5 stepper 2209 drivers and a micro swiss direct drive extruder (That is or was going to have the eb42 on the hotend.) and thank you for your help.

coming from marlin I thought this would be ok for me to try, I did install it on the SKR 1.4 and it was great no issues

this is a new klippy log

Okay, it looks like you have mcu set up correctly but, when I look in your klippy.log, I see:

[mcu CB1]
serial = /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

[mcu EBBCan]
canbus_uuid =

What are you trying to do with the CB1? You’re getting a connection, but I don’t see it being used anywhere. Are you going to connect hardware to it that can be accessed by the printer?

You don’t have a canbus_uuid. What is the process you’re following to set that up? Please don’t point me to a document, tell me the process that you used.

The CB1 is just running klipper.
the Can bus did give me a uuid for the board, but now when i do a ~/klippy-env/bin/python ~/klipper/scripts/canbus_query.py can0 it shows no uuid for thje board or the ebb. but the cb1 and the board are talking and working…

I don’t think you need the:

[mcu CB1]
serial = /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

However, you haven’t explained the process that you used to set up the EBB42.

I would recommend that you reflash the EBB42 and document the process that you use as well as the responses to each of the steps.
