Hi I compiled bugfix-2.1.x (from 11/1/2023) for my stock TAZ 5 so I could use a bltouch. The bltouch works great, but I’m having a couple other problems I was hoping to get some feedback on.
The LCD works fine until I start a print job. As soon as the print job starts to print (after homing and heating up), the LCD locks up. Display is frozen and knob/button doesn’t work.
The cooling fan never comes on. Despite me being able to control it via G-Code (M106) while not printing.
Other than the above, everything seems to be working fine.
I suppose I can try the pre-compiled version to see if same behavior.
Thanks for any suggestions, Brendan
I compared to the Lulzbot configuration and made some changes and got things working. I noticed that I was getting a bunch of “cannot write to file” in terminal while printing. Not sure, but I commented out the following:
#define SERIAL_PORT_2 1 // ← changed
Seems to be working fine now.
Interesting. That secondary serial port was only enabled for people wanting to add wireless printing capabilities, but AFAIK, nobody really uses that so I might just remove it entirely. Thank you for letting me know.
