Klipper firmware update

Last update

Last update done: 2024-09-04
Installed version: commit 08a1c9f12760ee6d89db2b82e76c7d93453212db

Printer

Printer preparation

1. Power off the printer

2. Unplug the electrical wall socket

3. Unplug the USB cable labelled OPERATION from printer

4. Set the top switch to UPDATE position
   

5. Plug the USB cable labelled UPDATE to the printer

Firmware build and update

1. SSH to the ASWX2 Raspberry

2. Stop Klipper service

sudo service klipper stop

3. Browse to Klipper directory:

cd ~/klipper

4. Pull the last version of the Klipper firmware from Github:

git pull

5. Clean up working directory before building firmware

make clean

6. Check the firmware build configuration

make menuconfig

7. Build the firmaware:

make

8. Check printer's Ruby board is in DFU mode and can be updated

lsusb

9. Note the Ruby board device ID. In example above: ID: 0483:df11

10. Flash the new firmware to the printer's Ruby board using the above device ID:

make flash FLASH_DEVICE=0483:df11

11. Restart Klipper service

sudo service klipper start

12. Check Klipper service is properly restarted

sudo service klipper status

Switch back printer to operation mode

1. Unplug the USB cable labelled UPDATE from printer

2. Set the top switch to OPERATION position
   

3. Plug the USB cable labelled OPERATION to the printer

4. Plug the electrical wall socket

ADXL345 accelorometer

Software prereqiusites

Note that resonance measurements and shaper auto-calibration require additional software dependencies not installed by default. First, run on your Raspberry Pi the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-numpy python3-matplotlib libatlas-base-dev libopenblas-base

Details on Klipper documentation

Firmware configuration and build

1. Configure the firmaware:

cd ~/klipper
make clean
make menuconfig

2. Build the firmware:

make

Firmware flash

1. Set the ADXL345 board in DFU mode by plugin it to the USB cable while maintaining the switch down

2. Check that the board is actually in DFU mode

lsusb

3. Flash the firmware

make flash FLASH_DEVICE=2e8a:0003

Once flashed, the board will automatically reboot and goes back in operation mode.

OctoKlipper: Auto-reconnect printer after power-on

Source by Arnav Jain.

Start off by accessing Octopi using ssh.
Then create the 98-klipper.rules file in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ folder:

ssh octoprint
sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/98-klipper.rules

Retreive idVendor and idProduct for the Klipper MCU:

1. Retrieve Klipper MCU ID

lusb

2. Retrieve idVendor and idProduct using the Klipper MCU ID

lsusb -v -d 1d50:614e | grep id

Then add the following text into the 98-klipper.rules file just created:

1. Edit the 98-klipper.rules file

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/98-klipper.rules

2. Add text (remove the 0x at the begining of the IDs)

## rule to restart klipper when the printer is connected via usb
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d50", ATTRS{idProduct}=="614e", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u pi /bin/sh -c '/bin/echo RESTART > /tmp/printer'"

Finally, re-load the udev rules:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
