5 Codes
CODE E2001 Severity: Medium Difficulty: Intermediate

AI LiDAR Communication Anomaly

Error E2001 indicates a handshake failure between the toolhead toolboard and the AI LiDAR optical triangulation module, preventing automated first-layer surface calibration.

CODE Key: 2505 Severity: High Difficulty: Intermediate

Strain Gauge Zero-Point Drift

Key 2505 trips when the Klippy/MCU host detects that the analog baseline voltage from the bed-mounted strain gauge load cells has drifted outside the allowable tare window (typically > +/- 150mV off nominal baseline) prior to auto-bed leveling or homing sequences.

CODE Key: 2565 Severity: Critical Difficulty: Intermediate

Toolhead CAN Bus Communication Failure

Error Key: 2565 indicates a loss or degradation of CAN bus differential data packets between the mainboard and the toolhead breakout MCU (typically STM32/GD32). Klipper firmware halts operations to prevent thermal runaway and positional desynchronization.

CODE 2564 Severity: High Difficulty: Intermediate

Bed Strain Gauge Sensor Anomaly

Error key 2564 trips when the Klipper-based MCU detects that the analog-to-digital converter (HX711/ADC) on the bed leveling strain gauge sensor board returns an out-of-range baseline voltage, excessive drift, or fails to detect an expected trigger threshold during the auto-bed leveling or homing routine.

CODE key:2564 Severity: Medium Difficulty: Intermediate

AI LiDAR Calibration Communication Anomaly

The toolhead controller board has lost communication or failed the initial handshake protocol with the AI LiDAR sensor module during bed leveling calibration or first-layer scanning routines.
