Unclear message / error: 09:38:00 The value ‘runout’ is not valid for SENSOR
What is the problem? Due to the error, no printing can be started.
What was done? Runout sensor was exchanged against BIGTREETECH Smart Filament Sensor

[printer.cfg]
#[filament_switch_sensor runout]
#pause_on_runout: True
#switch_pin: PA5

[filament_motion_sensor BIGTREETECH_Smart_Filament_Sensor]

#The minimum length of filament pulled through the sensor to trigger

#Default is 7 mm.

#This parameter must be provided.

Strange. If I add this snippet to my config

[gcode_macro FILAMENT_RUNOUT]
description = FILAMENT_RUNOUT
gcode = 
	M300 S1 P10
	M600
	M300 S1 P10

[filament_motion_sensor BIGTREETECH_Smart_Filament_Sensor]
detection_length = 10.0
extruder = extruder
switch_pin = P1.27
pause_on_runout = True
runout_gcode = FILAMENT_RUNOUT
event_delay = 5
pause_delay = 1

it works.

Try to find out which line is actually causing the trouble, e.g. comment out runout_gcode = FILAMENT_RUNOUT, then see if it works. If not continue commenting out.

Tried all combinations always “The value ‘runout’ is not valid for SENSOR”

Try to install Klipper new?

Anyone else have any ideas on how I can get the BIGTREETECH Smart Filament Sensor with klipper to work?

So far I have tried

  • tried all combinations with/without #
  • Reinstalled and set up Mainsail OS with Raspberry Pi Imager
  • tried another BIGTREETECH Smart Filamentsensor

Unfortunately still “The value ‘runout’ is not valid for SENSOR”.
