### Basic Information: Printer Model: custom MCU / Printerboard:BTT KRAKEN+BTT CB1 Host / SBC klippy.log _Fill out above information and_ **_in all cases attach your_ `klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_ _ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _ ### Describe your issue: BTT relay shutting down after 20 seconds i have searched the forums and matched the pinouts to match my board with no success have also remade the 2 pin connector to rule out a bad connection. I read on the other discussion to set the gpio pin high, is the setup on the picture below correct or do i need to add something. thanks in advance ![Capture1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/klipper/original/2X/4/4a7143fb103cabadf5fc9435c04b899c574d02a2.png) [klippy (3).zip](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/vc2dbv5Piyti0hp6tvlFedMbG8K.zip) (2.3 MB) ---

I followed it exactly. I have read people have not been able to get it to work because it will shut off before the system boots. Thanks for the reply. ---

Maybe I’m a bit slow today: Does it mean it is working correctly for you? ---

No, the relay would shut down before the system booted. ---

I have no first-hand experience with this relay, but it seems that the firmware on the relay has some room for improvement. See [Firmware source code · Issue #4 · bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-Relay-V1.2 · GitHub](https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-Relay-V1.2/issues/4) for a discussion and alternative firmwares. ---
