Hi there, I’m new on the Klipper base but I’ve already been working with Marlin in the past. I’m looking into using my raspberry pi 3 to install klipper on my cr10S pro V1 on which I installed a bltouch (working). The mainboard is based on the atmega AVR 2560.
Btw I hope my post is not redundant with another one here. Also since I’m new to Klipper, I’m ready to modify the ReXT3D file to fit my printer and change from inductive to BLTouch and modify the offset but I’m open to guidance on that matter.
I am still using my CR-10S Pro, but I have moved significantly beyond the configuration it had in those early days. I have been using BL Touch for a very long time, but I also changed the MCU to a Duet 3 Mini.
What exactly do you need? If your setup is currently working with BL Touch, then all you really need to know is sensor_pin & control_pin for your AVR 2560 as well as x_offset & y_offset values for your hot end.
I can share my current printer.cfg file, but my printer is very heavily modified - beyond the Duet Mini controller I am using 0.8 degree Moons’ steppers, low pitch lead screws and my own custom designed toolhead, among other things. This may confuse you instead of helping, depending on your experience and comfort level.
Well yeah for now I don’t have any Klipper installed and I kinda just don’t want to setup something that will go wrong instead of being helpful (to tell you I still haven’t used my printer really, mainly done troubleshooting) and I’m not sure to which extent I will have a lot of extra work if I setup Klipper. I guess I really only need the name of the pins and the offsets . For the offset I have an idea about how to get it, but about how to determine which pin is which on the avr I wonder, how do you actually determine ? Cause I know where they are but I’m at a loss when it comes to finding a diagram of the board, and how do you figure out that information without the wiring diagram ?
And yeah for the modification you did, I get that the 0.8 degree stepper is for increased resolution ? For low pitch lead screws tho I don’t really see but I’m very open to an explanation if that doesn’t bother you.
Thanks again for the help, I mainly also need to understand where to find which info in the klipper files. I only have to modify the printer.cfg file for the kind of modification I want to do ? And while I’m at it what kind of modding would you recommand on a 10S pro ? (starting at the ones you already told me about of course)
By the way I just thought of something. Since the CR10S pro V2 profile has a bltouch installed, the motherboards should be the same or about the same pinwise I guess ? Can’t I use the V2 bltouch config and replace the inductive sensor in the v1 with it ? (recalibrating the offsets and safe boundaries for my printer of course), maybe also the PIDs of both the extruder since I have the stock fans and the heat bed since I don’t have glass but a PEI plate ? If I change those, shouldn’t it suit my printer ? (As I said, basically the stock cr10s pro with a bltouch and a PEI plate)
