This post is a followup to my first post about Klipperizing my Anycubic Chiron. In that post @mykepredko recommended I switch from the stock Trigorilla board to a BTT SKR Mini E3 V3. After following that advice I am now at another roadblock while attempting to connect all the wires from the Chiron to the SKR mini.
SKR Mini E3 V3 wiring diagram
Overview of what I’ve attached so far. Powers on w/o exploding.
Issues:
In no particular order, the issues are as follows:
-
Z-stop sensors are 3-wire, but SKR mini only has a single 2-wire connection spot:
-
SKR mini bed heater (H1) seems designed for switching full power of the bed heater, but the Chiron has a separate relay board for controlling the bed heater:
-
Chiron bundles the hot end heater, hot end thermostat, X-stop, & homing sensor through a 8-wire cable. SKR mini (reasonably) expects these to be separate connectors:
-
Chiron LCD uses proprietary 5-wire connector. SKR mini does not appear to support this unit & everyone online suggests replacing w/ BTT TFT35. For my purposes the touch screen is low priority, so I’m skipping this for now.
I am not sure how to go about diagnosing or otherwise finding the answers to these issues. Search results have been unfruitful, but I doubt I’m the first person to attempt attaching a Chiron to a BTT SKR Mini.
Cheers
