Klipper Homing Timeout Issue
Prompt
- If you receive an error message like 
sed: can't read ~/klipper/klippy/mcu.py: No such file or directoryafter executing a command - Or any similar file not found errors (
No such file or directory) - Please confirm that Klipper is installed and the current user is the user who installed Klipper.
 
Error Description
- 
Error Message:
Error during homing z: Communication timeout during homing - 
The homing timeout issue mostly occurs during the Z-axis homing process in multi-mcu setups (X, Y also occur, but with lower probability).
 - 
The reason is that Klipper has extremely strict real-time requirements. If Klipper does not receive a correct response from the mcu within
0.025 seconds, it will consider the homing as a timeout. 
Solution
- 
The
0.025 secondsin the Klipper code is too stringent and can be appropriately increased to solve the homing timeout issue. - 
Execute the following command to directly modify the timeout time in the Klipper code to
0.05 seconds.sed -i 's/TRSYNC_TIMEOUT = [0-9.]*$/TRSYNC_TIMEOUT = 0.05/' ~/klipper/klippy/mcu.py- If there is no output after executing the command, it means the modification was successful.
 
 - 
After successfully modifying, you need to restart the Klipper service for the changes to take effect.
sudo systemctl restart klipper- If there is no output after executing the command, it means the restart was successful.
 
 
Other Commands
- 
To view the timeout time in the Klipper code, execute the following command.
grep "TRSYNC_TIMEOUT =" ~/klipper/klippy/mcu.py- 
It will normally output the following content (if the timeout time has been modified, it will output the modified time).
TRSYNC_TIMEOUT = 0.025 
 - 
 - 
To revert the modified code, execute the following command.
sed -i 's/TRSYNC_TIMEOUT = [0-9.]*$/TRSYNC_TIMEOUT = 0.025/' ~/klipper/klippy/mcu.py- If there is no output after executing the command, it means the modification was successful.
