Hi all,
I’ve been using Klipper for ~1 year now and finally thought I’d get real with the adxl auto resonance compensation. I read through the docs and ordered my parts, put everything together, and my host crashes every time I try to run the measurements. It turns out that this is because I’m using a Pi Zero W 1.1 which it seems is incapable of running the resonance measurements scripts. As far as I can tell, current Klipper docs make no mention of the resonance measurement scripts being quite host resource intensive and that users should be cautious to understand the types of hosts which are likely to work.
I suggest some revisions to the current resonance measurement docs to include some kind of recommended or minimum supported/tested configuration. I’m not confident that I should be the author/revisor of Klipper docs as I am not an expert and I only have one printer running Klipper on configuration. For this reason I hesitate to write a github ‘bug’ for this. But I want to put out there into the ether, that some/many other users will come across this same dillema and ask the same questions while only being able to find inconclusive forum posts as answers.
Thanks in advance for your input and thoughts.
EDIT: It IS possible to run shaper_calibrate on a Pi Zero W 1.1! I had to reduce the ‘rate’ parameter in the adxl345 config block. Even more documentation that could be added.
