This is on a rooted Creality K1C and upgraded following the SimpleAF eddyNG instructions for the Big Tree Tech Eddy Duo. I know enough about Klipper to say I use it on my machine.

I did try following the instructions for updating MCUs here:

But I get errors pretty much right out of the gate.

root@K1C-122C /root/klipper [#] make menuconfig
make: avr-gcc: Command not found
Loaded configuration ‘/usr/data/klipper/.config’
Configuration saved to ‘/usr/data/klipper/.config’

It brings up the “Klipper Firmware Configuration” window. However, I have no idea what I need to do with that.

So, here I am. Asking for help on something that is probably spelled out somewhere that I haven’t found yet.

I appreciate any help offered. Just grab me by the shoulders. Turn me to the way I need to go. And give me a big kick in the butt.

Here is the klippy log file if it’s needed.

It is always needed (It was written in the template).

The solution is written in the error message:

This is frequently caused by running an older version of the
firmware on the MCU(s). Fix by recompiling and flashing the
firmware.

Your Klipper version is: v0.12.0-420-gd2afd6a8
MCU(s) which should be updated:
mcu: Current version v0.12.0-412-g8cd3d734f
eddy: Current version v0.12.0-417-g3edd7087f
nozzle_mcu: Current version v0.12.0-412-g8cd3d734f
Up-to-date MCU(s):
<none>

I get that.

And I went on to attempt to update the MCUs. Which got me to the point I made the post due to getting an error and not having a clue what the “Klipper Firmware Configuration” window needed.

While appreciated, your reply is not helpful. Unless, I am missing something that is obvious to those familiar with the workings of Klipper.

As far as my knowledge of this printer goes:

  • It runs a modified version of Klipper.
  • It is not compatible with the main line Klipper version.
  • Rooting only allows you to experiment with additional components, not Klipper itself.
  • You are mostly limited to what the manufacturer provides.
  • Experimenting with Klipper itself could have unintended consequences, including catastrophic failure.

I guess that is one way to say folks here can’t be of help since it’s a “modified version”. I guess I can delete my membership then.

Thanks anyway!

I suppose this is a way of telling you that it was your decision to buy a printer with closed-source modifications made by a greedy manufacturer who doesn’t care if you encounter problems as a result.
It’s also a way of telling you that this manufacturer deliberately violates the licence of the open-source software, Klipper, and the idea of open source in general.
It’s also a way of telling you that we are unable to help you due to this manufacturer’s business practices.
Finally, it’s a way of telling you that you’re barking up the wrong tree.
