Describe your issue:
…Total newbie here, first time installing Klipper on my Ender 5 plus, using SBC (Arduino 4 B) with new MCU (BTT SKR mini E3). I have been following this youtube video How to install Klipper for beginners, which is great. I made it all the way to the end, and was able to successfully flash the firmware onto the MCU. I know it was successful because it renamed the firmware to FIRMWARE.CUR.
The problem is that the SBC does not connect to the MCU. When I run lsusb, I don’t see the SKR mini
tom@Ender5-BTTmini:~/klipper $ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
tom@Ender5-BTTmini:/dev $ ls /dev/serial/by-id/
ls: cannot access ‘/dev/serial/by-id/’: No such file or directory
I have gone through the whole process 3 times, to insure that I didn’t make errors in the printer.config, but not sure where I am going wrong.
I made my printer.cfg in MainSail, by clicking MACHINE, and then new file, and naming it “printer.cfg” and pasting the contents from BigTreeTech’s github page. Not sure if this is correct, as I improvised away from the tutorial since my SBC is a bit different.
TIA for any suggestions. Apologies for my lack of experinece.
