Hello,

I am trying to config Klipper on SKR 1.4 board.  
I went thru the config. Fluid is installed on my Raspeberry Pi. I compiled and flashed the firmware on my board. Yet it keeps showing “Printer is not ready” and “mcu ‘mcu’: Unable to connect”.

When I check if the board is connected to the Pi with “ls /dev/serial/by-id/\*”,  
I get “serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper\_lpc1768\_05E0FF01809C48AF441F3A5DC62000F5-if00lpc”  
So I tried to input this in my printer.cfg but my klippy.log keeps showing the mcu being “serial = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86\_USB\_Serial-if00-port0”  
When I tried to untick the USB during compilation of the firmware. I am not able to get anything in the serial request.  
When I input the serial that klippy.log gives me. nothing changes…

Here is [klippy.log](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/lGZcHV8js6Ipb0ystBfGB0cTwZW.log) (225.9 KB)

can someone guide me?

Thank you

Arthur

It looks like you chose the wrong board type during `make menuconfig`. SKR 1.4 has a LPC1769 chip.

thank you for the reply.  
Unfortunately, it is not the problem since my board is a non-turbo one.  
SKR 1.4 has a LPC1768 chip and the SKR 1.4 turbo has a LPC1769 chip.

Yes, sorry, of course you are right.

This basically looks correct. Sometimes a board is not correctly flashed. Try repeating the flashing process.  
What strikes me a bit strange is -if00 **lpc** ending. Typically it looks like  
`/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper_lpc1769_0C70001625813AAF86E06B5CC32000F5-if00` → just `if00` without the `lpc`

Thank you!  
I double checked today the “ls /dev/serial/by-id/\*” and there was no lpc at the end. So I removed it from the printer.cfg and it stopped showing me the “printer is not ready” error.  
Thank you!
