Klipper and Ender5+ are kicking my ass (partizle.com)

I'll start out saying, i'm not very good with this stuff.... I have an Ender 5+.
I had it setup with octoprint and klipper from a guide I found a couple years ago, and it worked OK for me to get klipper installed, working on octoprint, and pressure advance tuned ok ish.

Recently my SD Card became corrupt, and like an idiot I didn't have anything backed up.

So I'm trying to setup the system again from less than scratch and it's kicking my ass.

I've decided i'd like to try Mainsail, as it's interface looks interesting (no other reason) But I can't for the life of me get it working.

EVERY guide I try and follow seems to fail on the connect between klipper and the printer.

I can flash the klipper firmware successfully, and have updated the port ID in the printer.cfg file, but it always comes back to klipper not being able to see/access the port.

Any help would be appreciated here.

What hardware are you using for hosting klipper and mainsail? Are you using a pi and mainsail os or a pi with raspberry pi os and kiauh to setup klipper and mainsail? Could you post your klippy.log?

Also, make sure [include mainsail.cfg] is present in your printer.cfg file. Apparently this is important when changing frontends (octoprint -> mainsail).

Are you still having issues? I just rebuilt my e5p (Klipper, Fluidd, bigtreetech skr mini e3 v3, and new screen) and have been working out the bugs. Everything is working good so far, but still need to find tune the printer.

Nope, found my problem with the install of mainsail being a permissions thing.

I'm still running the stock board, but have upgraded to a remote direct drive extruder.
