Folks I’m trying to make the leap from Marlin to Klipper.
I successfully followed a guide on YT by Th3dstudio to install a bootloader followed by their version of Marlin 2.7 is indicated on the LCD. All good so far. I’ve now used this YT to try and install Klipper https://youtu.be/pElhau58Iv4?t=6m57s
I’m as far as 11 min in and at the make menuconfig stage … But I am stuck. Starting from the beginning is there a command I can use to find the correct bootloader offset please ??
Yes I had already visited that link but the only two mentions I found where related to the SAMD21 and 51 which I think has nothing to do with my particular board
I think you can only check which offset is using by bootloader you installed in its documentation.
But you can experimentally find it by flashing klipper firmware with different application offset starting from 4KiB. If klipper was started and you can interact with it than offset is properly configured.
For example you can configure klipper to turn on the led connected to PC13 on startup. If it is turned on than klipper was started. It is just example for my pcb so you can have a different pin and maybe you don’t need to use !
Thanks for the reply. After spending quite a while looking for the answer to this I have come across others that have suggested they “guessed” the offset and now they can no longer access the board so this alone makes me a little nervous but thanks
Which bootloader offset you are talking? There is atmega1284p is on the picture above and there is no any offset you can configure in klipper make menuconfig for this board.
I’m thinking the same. It does appear not possible to install Klipper on this board which is a little frustrating… It would explain why I have not been able to find any info
In your YT link he is using creality 4.2.7 board which is based on stm32. You have creality V1.1.14 which is based on atmega 1284p
You can build klipper firmware with settings something like
As I understood you installed bootloader with arduino ide and arduino uno board (which is used as hardware programmer). So now you have an arduino bootloader on your printer board and you can install klipper with arduino ide or avrdude. Your board should be connected to computer like any arduino board during flashing.
Never come across this. Interesting, 14 mins in he uses Kiuah which is the first time I’ve seen the 1284p as an option in the menu. As I chiose not go down the Kiuah route (because apparently it is no longer in active development). May have to change my initial plan and use it now thanks
Thank you… That video sorted everything, do not know how I never found it in my hours of searching specifically the installation of Kiauh… Great assistance thanks again
