[BUG] No Printer Attached-- SKR Mini E3 V3.0 and TFT35-E3 V3.0 #663

Config files and wiring photos below Ender 5 plus w/ BLTouch SKR Mini E3 V3.0 TFT35-E3 V3.0

I assembled my hardware about 1 week ago and have been fighting serial communication issues since. I started troubleshooting by flashing updated firmware from BTT github without success (BIGTREE_GD_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin and Marlin 2.1 and 2.0.x branches). I started reading up on experiences by others on github and reddit and I could not find anything conclusive. Here are my steps up until now:

Anything else I could be missing here? Any help would be appreciated

You have the wrong serial port in Marlin. You have to set serial port 2 for example:

define SERIAL_PORT 2

tjteagle commented 2 years ago

Apologies, I thought I set the serial port settings back to original before posting. Just flashed this config file to no effect:

New ribbon cables just arrived so will be attempting those now.

edit: no luck with new cables

radek8 commented 2 years ago

Possible causes of your problem.

Your configuration already looks fine. Check that you have the same transmission speed (115200). Check the cable for a broken wire. Check if the connectors are smartly oriented. If everything is fine, your problem will be a faulty pin. Unfortunately, it is a problem that occasionally appears, but it can be solved by remapping the serial port to another connector.

radek8 commented 2 years ago

I still have a question.. Will the bin file be renamed to cur after the marlin update? After switching to marlin mode, is marlin functional?

tjteagle commented 2 years ago

Yes I am able to successfully flash, no blinking green light for microSD but the filenames do rewrite to FIRMWARE.cur

Marlin mode is functional. I have not finished troubleshooting it while getting my touchscreen active but all motions are set after adjustment, only trouble with BLTouch which seems common.

I really appreciate you linking that other thread. Work has kept me busy so not around to it yet and I want to explore warranty options with BTT before scratching my head some more.

I was hoping you'd drop in here after reading other issues so again thank you IMG-0106 IMG-0107

radek8 commented 2 years ago

If you have ruled out all problems and the possibility remains that there are faulty pins, then it is best to solve the problem with the seller as a guarantee. The problem is that you don't know whether to complain about the TFT bebo SKR. A faulty pin can be on one or the other. If you could try the display on another printer, you would find out what is wrong. I've encountered bad pins on SKR as well, but the problem is more common on TFT. There are several threads where this has been addressed.

Config files and wiring photos below Ender 5 plus w/ BLTouch SKR Mini E3 V3.0 TFT35-E3 V3.0

I assembled my hardware about 1 week ago and have been fighting serial communication issues since. I started troubleshooting by flashing updated firmware from BTT github without success (BIGTREE_GD_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin and Marlin 2.1 and 2.0.x branches). I started reading up on experiences by others on github and reddit and I could not find anything conclusive. Here are my steps up until now:

  • Began configuring existing ender 5 plus firmware (in case I want to use Marlin mode in the mean time)
  • Confirmed all Marlin dependencies are defined in my Marlin firmware
  • Configured serial port 1 at -1 to 3 and serial port 2 at -1 to 3 and possible matches of that set
  • Flashed baudrate at 115200 in Marlin and changed on TFT through settings>connections>serial ports
  • Followed same procedure with baudrate @ 250000
  • Flipped TFT connector around and this was clearly wrong-- two lines across screen and messed up visuals

Hello. I also have the same motherboard and display, I'm trying to connect it all to an Ender 5 plus. Did you manage to solve your problem? I also have problems with the firmware

tjteagle commented 2 years ago

Hello there,

After pulling my hair out with this issue over a month or so, I bit the bullet and grabbed a rpi 3b+ from eBay and installed klipper/fluidd.

I did see some things online about a new firmware update but I did not dig in enough to see if it was a solution for my BTT hardware. After all of my troubleshooting with help from GitHub/Reddit/Facebook, I was led to the assumption that a TFT pin was faulty. I would be curious to know if you find a solution but I will be sticking with klipper.

Good luck

@barabuzza Create a new ticket. Write what problems you have, attach the configuration and photos of the connection. We will try to find out what your problem is and how it can be solved.

radek8 commented 2 years ago

@tjteagle Have you tried remapping the serial port pins to the TFT?

adamtoczek commented 1 year ago

I went through all the connections problems between SKR mini e3 v3 and tft35. What worked for me:

define SERIAL_PORT 2 //this is default setting for Ender 3 SKR mini e3 v3 from marlin configurations

define SERIAL_PORT_2 1 // this was -1, tried different values from -2 but it would not compile.

the bound rate is 250000, but you can change it any time from tft settings

hope it will work for you

natepotato commented 1 year ago

Your serial port should be set at -1 because the skr mini e3 v3 is 32 bit and -1 is what the 32 but boards are set to. I had the touch screen working but messing with the firmware to try to get the creality touch screen working I changed what screen I had enabled and now I don't remember which one worked. Also you need to have serial port 2 configured correctly to

natepotato commented 1 year ago

Ok so just tried something and both modes work. I have a custom built printer the same size as the Ender 5 plus with the skr mini e3 v3 and the btt 35 tft screen, and what worked was serial port-1, serial port 2 2, with both baud rates at 115200, and enabling the cr10 screen

AnnelotJ commented 1 year ago

Hi, I got it work following natepotato post however when I put out instructions on the screen the printer does nothing. Any advise for me ?

radek8 commented 1 year ago

@AnnelotJ what is "napotato"? Give more information. Printer board type, display type. Does the display show the temperature of the nozzle?

obsidiansro commented 3 months ago

Hi,

I am having similar issue.

No printer attached!

Printer: Creality Ender 3 V2 with BL Touch Board: SKR Mini E3 V3.0 Display: TFT35 V3.0

It was working with SKR Mini E3 V2.0 but after upgrade to SKR Mini E3 V3.0 board and display refuse to communicate. I have tried to change Serial ports and matching baud speed with no success.

I would appreciate if someone with same setup could provide correct config advice.

tjteagle commented 3 months ago

Hello,

I came to the conclusion that one of my pins was non functional. Instead of working through customer service to replace, I simply transitioned to klipper via fluidd

I was connecting the display to the wrong pins on the board. So now it is working but only with stock BTT firmware. When I try to upload compiled firmware, I still can not get it communicating. I don't know how Serials variables should be set up.

SERIAL_PORT SERIAL_PORT_2 LCD_SERIAL_PORT AUTO_ASSIGNED_LCD_SERIAL

obsidiansro commented 3 months ago

I think I will switch to klipper as well.
