Describe your issue:

…We have had the Ender 5 Pro for a while, purchased a Sonic Pad then realized our board wasn’t compatible. Purchased and installed the V4.2.7 board after reading posts and info. But now how to attach Sonic Pad and get klipper installed. machine is working with Creality Marlin software but as 5Pro V4.2.7 isn’t standard on the Sonic Pad, selecting other it just failed. So im at a lost with spending all this money and no idea how to make it work. Anyone have steps and files needed to make this all work. Im okay with most softwares and setting things up but cfg and bin files are out of my knowledge range these days.

Hi @Casper ,

The Sonic Pad doesn’t run legit Klipper, so we can’t really help you that much. I would reach out to Creality support.

The sonic pad hasn’t had an update in 3 years.

A user @munecito posted this in the last couple weeks.

Their issue wasn’t the SonicPad so we never got into the process they used to flash Debian.

I do find this:

But I can’t offer any assurance it will work.

If you can get rid of the Creality OS we can help you get the V2.4.7 flashed to Klipper.

That was the process I followed to install Debian.

It runs as long as I don’t update to the latest klipper but the one included in the original instructions. So I had it working with 0.12.XXX but can’t for the life of me get it to work on 0.13 I must be compiling the printer firmware wrongly or something as it does not communicate.

@cardoc and @Casper

I have the sonic pad working with Klipper now fully updated.

Some word of advice. First use the original Sonic Pad installed program to create a firmware for your printer. You won’t use it in the end but the way they name it will definitely help you with the correct values to select when compiling the firmware in Klipper.

You can read more about it in the post that was linked before.

Seems that 4.2.7 uses a very similar configuration to the MCU in the ender 3 V3 se.

So I would install Debian from the git that was linked before and give it a go
