Macros as they run on the printer (Voron 2.4 + AFC Box Turtle + Blobifier + Beacon + bd_pressure + bdwidth + iHeater), the Klipper modules they need (xy_drift, bdwidth_status, bdpressure_check), MCU firmware update scripts, install.sh with Moonraker update manager support, and READMEs.

# MCU firmware update scripts
|
|
|
|
| Script | Does |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `update_all_mcus.sh` | Pulls Klipper, builds and flashes **Klipper** to every MCU, prints a summary, restarts Klipper |
|
|
| `update_katapult_all_mcus.sh` | Builds and flashes **Katapult** (the bootloader) to every MCU |
|
|
|
|
Based on the [Voron guide to automating MCU updates](https://docs.vorondesign.com/community/howto/drachenkatze/automating_klipper_mcu_updates.html)
|
|
and [Esoterical's CANBus guide](https://canbus.esoterical.online/).
|
|
|
|
Run them on the Klipper host, between prints:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
~/klipper-macros/scripts/update_all_mcus.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
They stop Klipper while flashing (and need `sudo` for that).
|
|
|
|
## These scripts are for one printer
|
|
|
|
They contain the original printer's boards, build configs, CAN UUIDs and
|
|
serial IDs:
|
|
|
|
| Board | Name in the script | Connection | Build config (`KCONFIG_CONFIG=`) |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| LDO Leviathan (CAN bridge) | `Main MCU` | CAN `5a2b9f704f54` | `leviathan` |
|
|
| BoxTurtle MC (Pi Pico) | `MC_1 (BoxTurtle)` | CAN `acc4091027b4` | `BoxTurtleMC` |
|
|
| BTT EBB42 | `EBB42` | CAN `4b5324a91849` | `EBB42` |
|
|
| AFC-Lite (Box Turtle) | `Turtle_1` | CAN `59a2feeada77` | `Turtle_1` |
|
|
| LDO Nitehawk-SB | `NHK` | USB `usb-Klipper_stm32g0b1xx_550039000A50315058393320-if00` | `nhk` |
|
|
| iHeater | `iHeater` | USB `usb-Klipper_stm32f042x6_0C0020000E43304754393320-if00` | `iHeater` |
|
|
|
|
**Running them unchanged on another printer will not work, and flashing the
|
|
wrong firmware to a board can leave it unusable until it is reflashed by hand.**
|
|
|
|
## Adapting them to your printer
|
|
|
|
1. **Make one build config per board.** In `~/klipper` (and in `~/katapult`
|
|
for the Katapult script), run `make menuconfig KCONFIG_CONFIG=<name>` for
|
|
each board, with the settings from your board's documentation. The file
|
|
`<name>` is saved in that folder and the script uses it to build.
|
|
|
|
2. **Find your IDs.**
|
|
- CAN boards: `~/katapult/scripts/flashtool.py -i can0 -q`, or the
|
|
`canbus_uuid` values in `printer.cfg`.
|
|
- USB boards: `ls /dev/serial/by-id/`, or the `serial:` values in
|
|
`printer.cfg`.
|
|
|
|
3. **Edit the flash blocks.** Each board has one block like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
printf "Update EBB42 firmware\n"
|
|
make clean
|
|
make clean KCONFIG_CONFIG=EBB42
|
|
make KCONFIG_CONFIG=EBB42
|
|
flash_device "EBB42" python3 ~/katapult/scripts/flashtool.py -i can0 -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin -u 4b5324a91849
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For each of your boards, set the name, the `KCONFIG_CONFIG` and the
|
|
flash command:
|
|
- CAN board via Katapult: `... flashtool.py -i can0 -f <bin> -u <uuid>`
|
|
- USB board via Katapult: `... flashtool.py -f <bin> -d /dev/serial/by-id/<id>`
|
|
- USB board via Klipper's own flashing: `make flash KCONFIG_CONFIG=<name> FLASH_DEVICE=/dev/serial/by-id/<id>`
|
|
|
|
Delete the blocks of boards you do not have.
|
|
|
|
4. **Keep the CAN bridge last.** If your mainboard is a USB-to-CAN bridge,
|
|
flash it after all CAN boards: while it reboots, the CAN bus is gone.
|
|
|
|
5. **Update the names in `print_summary`.** The list
|
|
`for name in "Main MCU" "MC_1 (BoxTurtle)" ...` must contain the same names
|
|
as your `flash_device` calls, otherwise they show as SKIPPED.
|
|
|
|
6. **Katapult script:** Katapult can only replace itself if you build it as
|
|
a *deployment application* ("Build Katapult deployment application" in
|
|
`make menuconfig`); a normal Katapult build flashed through Katapult
|
|
overwrites the application slot instead. Check the Katapult docs for your
|
|
board before using that script, and keep a way to flash over USB/DFU.
|
|
|
|
The `CAN_DEVICES` / `CAN_DEVICE_ORDER` lists at the top of the scripts are
|
|
not used by the flashing itself; they only document the UUIDs.
|
|
|
|
## Known differences between the two scripts
|
|
|
|
`update_katapult_all_mcus.sh` ends after the last board: it does not print
|
|
the summary and does not start Klipper again. Run `sudo systemctl start
|
|
klipper` afterwards, or add the last lines of `update_all_mcus.sh`
|
|
(`print_summary` and the restart) to it.
