### Basic Information: Tronxy X5SA BTT Octopus v1.1 Host / SBC klippy.log ( Don’t have one yet ) This is my first time using Klipper . I picked up a Tronxy X5sa for dirt cheap and I have a BTT Octopus laying around so I figure now was the best time to try it out . I searched through the example configuration and found a generic one for the Octopus board . I also found the example configuration for the stock Tronxy x5sa board. Now I am trying to figure out to mesh the two together. Any help would be great Thank you ---

I have a raspberry pi . I am just trying to figure out how to compile the firmware so I can use the octopus on the x5sa . I have never compiled firmware for klipper ---

Do I use the config for the factory board and just change the pins to match the octopus or does it have to be a custom script ---

Wow I am honestly shocked . From all I have been reading about Klipper I was under the impression this was a helpful forum. But for almost 3 days not one single piece of advice or anything . ---
