Dragonburner / Orbitool Toolhead board Problems

[Hawley12]

So I just changed my 2.4 from Stealthburner to this Dragonburner with Orbitool Toolhead board combo. I had no issues with my stealthburner but after swapping this whole 2 part cooling fan thing is throwing me for a loop. I just don't know how to configure Klipper for the two part cooling fans.

 

The other thing I noticed is that based on my ABS profile that I've been using I never paid attention to the Cooling portion of the profile. What should be my max fan speed for part cooling as well!

 

Lastly I had a ton of problems with this toolhead board. Mainly around MCU out of date failures. The temp solution was to comment out the resonance portion of the printer.cfg Is there a fix to this so I can run  vibration compensation?

That's a bummer... A ton? Really? I had a pretty good experience with the Orbitool tool board. As for the built-in accelerometer... I have a Beacon_H probe on my 2.4 and I'm using the ADXL345 on the probe board, so I haven't tested the onboard unit. Have you flashed the board with the latest firmware?

Just to put my comments in context... If you're not extremely fluent using the Pi OS command line... All of this setup for accelerometers and CAN bus, setting things to DFU mode, etc, etc can be pretty Fn confusing, daunting and frustrating to say the least and all of us that have implemented CAN toolboards feel your pain. So, you're in good company.

Everyone is going to use a different fan speed and you no doubt will have your preference as well. If you're using standard 2 wire fan/s like a 5015 then 30-35% is a good starting point for ABS/ASA. It starts to get tricky when you use a CPAP fan, 30% on a CPAP is like 60% on a 5015. The best place to start is where you currently are. If you're getting crappy overhangs, then bump up the cooling for overhangs a bit and so on.

Sadly, we must all test and tune... there are rarely settings that just work so, find yourself a test part you like and print and tweak until you get to something that's acceptable.

A TON I agree is being dramatic I was just discouraged  but here is a screenshot of my current error and yes to my knowledge Ive SSH in and made and refreshed firmware but no luck so far.

Take a look at your printer.cfg and see if there is an "ADXL" section in there. If so delete or comment it out. Could be a conflict.

If not... comment out both the lis2dw and resonance_tester sections and save & restart.

Hopefully your machine boots without error.

If it does... Then go back in uncomment the lis2dw section leaving the resonance_tester section commented and try again.

When you get to the error... then you'll know where to look.

Simple process of elimination is a powerful diagnostic tool.

Fingers crossed, Hope this helps.

The solution for the past few days has been commenting out the [lis2dw] section in Printer.cfg. Other than that no ADXL in the cfg file.

I agree with your point of view. You have pointed out the key issues and it is very instructive and helpful.

Best as I read that error log, you have not upgraded the firmware in the Orbiter Toolboard. It's at v0.12.0-166, and your current Klipper system is at v0.12.0-485
