Printer Model: xvico pioneer highly modified, with LERDGE K board now, and Creality E-Fit extruder / all new motors, all new fans, etc.
MCU / Printerboard: LERDGE K Board, version 2 klippy.log
Fill out above information and in all cases attach yourklippy.logfile. Pasting yourprinter.cfgis not needed
Describe your issue: I’m trying to get OctoKlipperPi to work on the above described printer. I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ to serve the board. Since there’s no config file listed, I’m dead in the water. I asked LERDGE.COM via Instagram to comment; they said KLIPPER WORKS ON THEIR BOARDS NOW???
AFAIK there is no progress. Marlin has “hacked” the firmware encryption and thus can run on the Lerdge boards.
So far no attempt has been made to port this to Klipper. Consequently there are two solutions:
Lerdge removes their encryption to allow free choice of firmware → From hardware PoV Klipper should work out of the box as far as I can tell
Some developer takes up the task to port the Marlin hack
I had a talk with the person posting on Instagram. They thought providing the STL files for their little iV printer constituted OPEN SOURCE. I told them it didn’t.
Yes, I think so. Only via pc, though. I’m going to follow their instructions to the letter, and see how it goes. I’ll post results on my YouTube site: Corlissmedia2.0
i had to look through klipper github history to find a close match for the firmware make “kconfig” file
not sure if it “needs” the 64kib bootloader offset.
the board needs the USB/wifi adapter thing in order for it to work though. "there is no Serial connection without it "
i’ve de-compiled the “encrypting software” too, doesn’t look like it really does anything.

On the top of the site you can download the firmware and printer config.
I has tried it but I could not get it work. Can it be that the firmware must be in sync with the klipper software on the raspberry pi ?
It’s relative easy to swap between klipper firmware and stock firmware.
If you want to go back use the force method with de SDCard and you run the Lerdge firmware.
