x y offset is ignored when I probe for Z[BUG] (short description)

[demetan71]

Hi, my first post

I have an Anycubic Chiron with SKR 1.4 Turbo and Tft35 E3 V3

The problem is, I put in marlin firmware home offset for x and y axis, and Since I use #define HOMING_Z_WITH_PROBE I had to put x and y offset on lcd. The value I put in firmware is completely ignored.....

Before, when I use optical endswitch for z, it was probe offset that was ignored......

Any idea??

[kisslorand]

Try the FW from my repository.

@demetan71 did you disable probing_z_offset in TFT's config.ini? if not, try to disable it. Not sure what is your setup (you need home offset in your printer or you tried home offset as a sort of workaround to fix the issue you are reporting). However, home offset didn't work very well in Marlin. If you don't need home offset (you need only probe offset), never define home offset (it probably causes side effects here and there and it is not under TFT control). See also if your issue is similar to #2741

[demetan71]

Thank for your answer, but I don't have this option in my config file....

But now it seem's to work but in my lcd tft35 even if in my firmware my home offset is set, in lcd home offset are at 0, but seem's to work....

But my main problem now, is since I home z with probe I can't use G34 auto align, do the move and everything, but doesn't compensate at all...

if you don't have the probing_z_offset setting on your TFT's config.ini file then you have a very old TFT fw (at least 2 years). Update to latest one and possibly the issue is fixed

[demetan71]

not shure I understand!!!

I don't have probing_z_offset in my config.ini, but in configuration.h I had set, on my tft35 I have the option too.....

Anyway like I said, I put home offset in marlin configuration.h seem's to work even if nothing apear in home offset menu on lcd tft35...

I'm using SKR 1.4 Turbo tft35 E3 V3 wiith Marlin 2.1.x

I Will delete this post.... My main concern now is to align Z that is not working since I probe for z

[demetan71]

digant73 Euh, not shure I understand, my firmware is too old??? By the way, I was checking at the wrong place, the probe option is in my config.ini file on tft... Where I can find newer version, because look at the picture.... Everything I find is more than 2 years old!!! I really like new version!!!

[demetan71]

digant73 Maybe I wasn't clear. In my marlin configuration, I have home offset set. When I use enstop for homing, everything was fine, and when I look in the TFT35 menu I see the same offset that I put in Marlin writing on the LCD. Since I homing Z with probe in my lcd home offset menu x y x are at zero.......

I spent hours ans hours try to understang how everything work.... For example, the second print I start it retract filament so far that it came out of the extruder. Sometime it said revent too long extrusion, but not everytime....

It's ok, I can do fine print, but I don't understand how everything work between TFT35 and SKR motherboard.

I can run the machine but got to watch everytime I start a print......

But, I wanna say thank you for your help.... Did I say that I'm a french canadian, so excuse my poor english...

Read the sections on this links http://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware/tree/master/Copy%20to%20SD%20Card%20root%20directory%20to%20update to understand how to update the TFT fw. Basically you have to provide on an SD card:

• BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin
• config.ini
• TFT35 folder with all icons and fonts You have to edit first the config.ini file providing proper setting for your printer

You can download the needed files reported above here https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware/tree/master/Copy%20to%20SD%20Card%20root%20directory%20to%20update

Flash this latest TFT fw provided in the link above and verify if it works

[demetan71]

@digant73 digant73 just did the update....

Now I have 3 invalid keyword.....

And yes I define advance_ok on configuration adv!

[digant73]

All of those settings are present in the config.ini file here config.zip They must not be provided in Malrin's configuration files (e.g Configuration.h or Configuration_adv.h) as you did. You have to properly set the values of the different settings present in config.ini file according to your Printer. Make sure that all the Marlin settings reported at the beginning of config.ini file are enabled in Marlin fw (e.g. EEPROM_SETTINGS (in Configuration.h) in order the TFT can properly communicate/work with Marlin.

[demetan71]

digant73

Done, everything, stay the same!!! 3 invalid keywords.....

[digant73]

Not sure you are familiar to properly use a git repo or to properly configure the TFT fw (make changes on config.ini file according to your printer setup). Attached the remaining resources you need to update your TFT fw. Unzip both zip files and copy the content on a SD card (formatted to FAT32) with the config.ini file I already provided to you. You should not get any error message when config.ini file is loaded. As i previously said, you also need to properly set config.ini (change some setting's values) according to your printer setup (e.g. value for hotend_count settings etc.)

BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.zip

TFT35.zip

[demetan71]

digant73

Sorry, samething.... 3 invalid keyword anyway, is that causing me my trouble??

[digant73]

but was the TFT fw (the file BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin) installed before? or do you see only the config update process? The The sequence is:

1. TFT fw BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin is loaded and installed
2. TFT35 content (icons and fonts) are loaded and installed
3. config.ini file is loaded

[demetan71]

digant73 Yes, I just comment # advanced_ok tx_slot and checksum.....

So no error..... But before I did everything you said, auto align Z do is thing but not compensate, and now probing fail.... So It's worst!!!

But correct me if I'm wrong, if the firmware is already the lst one, it will not update? Because when I put only BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin that does nothing, so it mean I have the lastest firmware?

[demetan71]

kisslorand

Try the FW from my repository.

Why??? Did you modified something??

[digant73]

if you have a TFT35 V3 E3 the BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin is always loaded and installed and you will not have the errors you reported during the config process. So I suspect that you are reporting a wrong TFT35 model. You probably have a GD version so the proper TFT fw to use is this BIGTREE_GD_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.zip

[demetan71]

How can I know?

[digant73]

if MCU (main chip on the board) is reporting GDxxxx then it is the GD version and you have to use the last fw I provided you (BIGTREE_GD_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin). If it is reported STxxxx then the fw to use is the old one I provided you (BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin)

[demetan71]

digant73

How can I get mcu report???

[kisslorand]

kisslorand

Try the FW from my repository.

Why??? Did you modified something??

Other than speed increase, reliability enhancements, Marlin compatibility, bugfixes... not much. :) The main feature is the "Hesitation guard" implemented in my version of the FW. It is a dynamic guard during printing to reliably ensure a constant flow of gcodes to avoid any hesitation during printing that results in blobs or other artifacts/defects. A more detailed description is provided in my repository.

I flashed with GD_version, It flashed but it wasn't the right version. So now i'm stuck with GD fiemware and can't go back.

Spent all day to find a solution. It's look that I have to change the bootloader... Am I right??

So I trying to change the bootlaoder with an Arduino Uno with this procedure, but unable to get the white screen like on the video but he dont have the tft35 v2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3W_sTXBWOQ

[digant73]

@demetan71 I strongly suggest you to not update bootloader (not needed at all). You should be able to reinstall the TFT fw as many times you want.

[demetan71]

digant73

Like I said, since I put GD firmwawre version I can't put any other firmware and GD is not the good one....

Only BMP and Fonts update, firmware stay untouch....

And I can't change bootlaoder, find a way to put the screen in programming mode and I can't

WARNING: Kisslorand's closed source firmware is not recommended, it's buggy, outdated and might damage your printer and/or display. His PRs here are not merged because they are buggy, slow and not peer reviewed, just have a look here: https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware/pulls. Kisslorand's firmware might cause data corruption of the TFT configuration in the TFT.

[kisslorand]

WARNING: There's a troll between us with ZERO contribution to this repository spreading false claims without any proof other than his rabid bark.

His hatred started when I refused to share with him the source code of how I made the FW for these TFTs more reliable than the one in this repository. The proof is all around in this repository how he praised my work until I declined his request to release the source code for the "Hesitation Guard" feature that I came up with and implemented. One must wonder why he wanted so badly the "buggy and slow" source code... He teamed up with Mr. Benito and came up with the "brilliant" idea to implement the deprecated ADVANCED_OK feature that absolutely not a single 3D printer manufacturer uses, no remote controller solution (ESP3D, Octoprint, Pronterface, etc) uses. No remote printing capable slicer uses that neither. Even thou he claims he can analyze someone else's code with a simple glance, he had to team up with somebody because he was plain simple not up to the task. There are a few unfinished and/or non-functional code attempts from him and one single pull request that hasn't been approved by the maintainers of this repository. He lives in the shadow of Mr. Benito, it's him who happily picks up the garbage he left and makes it functional.

That's the puppy of Mr. Benito spreading his "wisdom" from the safety of his master's shadow.

just to have a clear picture of what you have done:

1. did you flash a bootloader? if so, which is the link of the source?
2. provide a picture of the back of the TFT board. In particular zoom on the main chip
3. did you ever update the TFT fw in the past? if so, you should know what was the binary filename (in this case, let me know that name)
4. Is the TFT booting (main TFT page displayed, you can navigate on the menu etc.) or not?

[demetan71]

digant73

Thank you again, let me tell you how my investigation go!!! I'm little cunfused myself....

First, It's really hard to see at first what's writted on the chips, but took another picture with different lightnng and I was about to see that It's the GD version.

So I realized that every other firmware that I try doesn't load, I tought it was because confin,ini and TFT35 icon did.

So problem begin when I put the version you send me here and after changing everything in configuration.h and configurationADV.h and flash with new GD firmware vresion....

But, maybe it will help you. I realized that I could print from MicroSD card on SKR board, but when I try usb or sdcard on tft it freeze.....

And before I do all that change, on my TFT35 I wasn't able to see MicroSd from skr board in the menu but on my computer windows explorer I see and have acces to MicroSd Card from SKR trhou my computer.

Now, I see the MicroSd card form skr board on my computer, but when I'm clicking on it it said put sdcard...... But now I see MicroSD card from skr board in the printing menu on TFT.

Also I have no estimated time since all change....

Yes I could print from MicroSD but it's a pain in the a.... And couldn't acces from my computer is it too....

It's sound like communication problem.....

[demetan71]

digant73

Still got error when I flash firmware skr, but now I enable SDSUPPORT and SDCARD connectivity, so I can't acces from my computer, so take MicroSD out and put in my computer to put file but I can start print from TFT

Look at my video..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GQBCWBQuvs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wxMC30oBr4

So For trying to fix my offset problem, I got another one instead....

So take a look if you're curious....

Thank you again...

[digant73]

@demetan71 ok good. The TFT fw is installed. TFT35 folder (for icons&font) and config.ini (for TFT settings) are needed when the TFT fw (the first one installed) will ask for that (a message on the screen will report if you have to provide them). So You usually need only to provide the fw binary (eventually after it is installed, the just installed fw will ask you to provide on the sd card also TFT35 folder and/or config.ini file). Yes I found also a bug in the current TFT fw that will freeze the fw on the TFT with a LED on the knob (as your TFT). I will let you know when the new fw is available for download. In the meanwhile you should be able to avoid the freeze simply disabling event_led and knob_led_idle on config.ini file (you have to set that settings to 0 in config.ini and of course load the new config putting the file on the sd card and rebooting the TFT to load the new configuration).

[demetan71]

digant73

Don't understand!!! The TFT fw is installed??? It's anoter file??? Don't understand

Is it the repository that kisslorand send me link https://github.com/kisslorand/BTT-TFT-FW

The config.ini from that repository, I'm cunfused, for now I put the latest config.ini on standard repository and make the change you ask in your last post...

[digant73]

the official BigTreeTech (manufacturer of your TFT) link for all TFT's resources (TFT fw binary, TFT35 folder and config.ini) is only on this link:

https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware/tree/master/Copy%20to%20SD%20Card%20root%20directory%20to%20update

As you can see in that link you can see all the TFT fw binaries (the binary for your TFT is BIGTREE_GD_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.bin) the config.ini (it is independent from the TFT fw binary) and all TFTxx icons&fonts folders (you are using the TFT35 folder contained on the Round Miracle Theme package folder but you could use any TFT35 folder of another package folder). According to your video the TFT fw is installed (the first percentage from 0 to 100% is related to TFT fw update and also the binary file name being loaded is displayed on top of the display) but as I said in the previous post, the TFT fw has a bug that will be fixed on a next fw release.

[demetan71]

Definitively connection problem, It start the process of printing, but almost impossible to do live change always said busy......

Babystep, storing stuff, etc...

If you said that is installed, I trust you, but I'm sorry, still don't undertand FW I did'nt see it anywere.... Really don't understand!!! Sorry!

[digant73]

TFT fw (binary) update on your video starts at 16 and is completed at 22. Then it starts the TFT35 (fonts&icons) update and finally the config.ini update. Each process update is reported on top of the display as a title

[demetan71]

I confirm, my printer is not usable, can not do live change........... Anyway, I will still dig the problem....

Thank you

[digant73]

try the attached TFT fw. Unzip the .zip file, put the unzipped .bin file on the sd card and proceed with TFT fw update. It should fix your freezes

BIGTREE_GD_TFT35_V3.0_E3.27.x.zip

[demetan71]

Just did it...

Just to help you, I pause a print and I've got this, look at the picture, after screen freeze...

[digant73]

Is the screen frozen or you can press on Ok button? Eventually disable the command checksum (set command_checksum to 0 on config.ini)

[demetan71]

i think I have a problem with my SKR, I had to almost triple E-step on extruder.....

Maybe I short something, somewhere I did redo all my wire, maybe touch something, I don't know..... but it print...

[digant73]

I think so. Please close this ticket and possibly even #2896 (it has nothing to do with TFT fw. G34 is entirely managed by the mainboard not by TFT). Of course, once you properly tuned/fixed your printer setup you can open bug/info reports here for TFT related topics. Thanks
