### Basic Information:

Printer Model: Ender3 V2 (Sprite Pro Extruder)  
 MCU / Printerboard: Stock Creality 4.2.2  
 Host / SBC: RPi 5 (used as linux computer with KIAUH)  
 klippy.log  
[KlippyLog.zip](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/h3eM5rHzg7CUHsttAZnpVmWr08Q.zip) (153.8 KB)

### Describe your issue:

I installed my new BLtouch onto my Ender 3 V2 recently, and although I have completed all of the steps, I repeatedly get the error:

Unknown command:“BED\_MESH\_CALIBRATE[”

I did a lot of research online, and it seems like the general response to that is that the [bed\_mesh] section of the printer.cfg is missing or incorrect. In my case, I do not believe that either of these things are true, as I have copy-pasted other people’s sections into my config several times, and it appears in various places in the klippy log, though I don’t know how to read it’s syntax. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me, thanks.

Hello @Cython !

Why is there a **[** at the end of the command?

```auto
Unknown command:"BED_MESH_CALIBRATE["

```

Thanks for the reply,  
The command it should be running is:

```auto
BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default

```

but it doesn’t, and returns the error lsited above. I have also tried the alternative:

```auto
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE [METHOD=manual]

```

but it returns the same.

Please attach a new klippy.log to your next post.

You may try

```auto
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE METHOD=manual

```

The square braces describe the possible parameters you can use.
