…Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up my cr10s with raspberry pi. I am getting error message “Unknown pin chip name ‘probe’” I have looked at all the other discussions about the same issue but none of them are my issue. will someone look at my setup and see if you can see what I’m missing please? I am new to this, so I apologize for my noobness :laughing:
thank you,
Jeff

You have indents in front of the following sections that are preventing Klipper from processing those properly:

endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop    #enable to use BLTouch
position_min: -5                        # enable to use BLTouch

Remove those indents and save and restart.

WOW! Thank you! I read that as an issue someone else was having but theirs was really indented. not sure how that happened, but thank you very much! that fixed that issue now I have “Option ‘control’ in section ‘extruder’ must be specified” I’ll search to see if I can find that resolution. :joy:

Read here:
https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#extruder

Control defines whether you are using PID or watermark for temperature control.
This whole stuff is missing in your [extruder] section.

Thank you. I’ve somehow messed the whole thing up ha! Fixed the extruder issue. Then got another error fixed that. Then I had 7 errors. Fixed those then had 20 ugh! Then I did something and could no longer access it. Kept getting moonraker cannot connect. Going to erase everything and start from scratch.

Oh man…
You already saw the finish line and then good roadkilled by a truck.

If you redo this from scratch, at first get the basic config running.
Meaning proper connection to the MCU, stepper and probe settings and stuff like that.
If this works fine you can go on adding your macros and other nice to have features step by step!

When you copy things from different sources keep the indents in mind!

Good luck!
