Troubleshooting & tuning#

Things that bite when running a Sovol Zero on mainline Klipper, and how to clear them. Facts and fixes only — the full procedures live in the layer pages.

Flashing & CAN#

canbus_query / flashtool.py -q shows 0 nodes#

If Klipper is stopped, a query returning Total 0 uuids is normal — those tools enumerate only un-initialised / bootloader nodes, and a Klipper-configured app node does not answer. Read it as “everything is running its application”, not “the bus is dead”. Start Klipper (or put a node into its bootloader) to see it in a query.

Plugin & patches#

Two artifacts live as source in the repository, version-controlled and downloadable, and are documented here. They stay as code — the site describes them, the repo holds them.

`sovol_codes` — the knob-screen codes plugin#

The vendor Klipper fork shows numeric codes on the knob screen (101, 103, the 60+ shutdown range) by editing upstream core files in place — klippy/extras/homing.py, klippy/klippy.py, klippy/kinematics/corexy.py. That couples product UI to Klipper core and is the reason the printer is stuck on a squashed vendor snapshot instead of tracking upstream.
