Pin Description¶

Interface Introduction¶

Connecting to BTT Pi V1.2 (Type-C)

Connecting to Manta M8P (Type-C)

Connecting to Manta M8P (Soldering Wires)

Klipper Firmware¶

Compiling Klipper Firmware¶

Connect to CB1/Raspberry Pi via SSH and enter the following commands:

cd ~/klipper/
make menuconfig

Configure the firmware as shown in the provided image (update Klipper firmware to the latest version if options are not available).

After configuration, press q to exit, and select Yes when prompted to save.
Enter make to compile the firmware. The resulting klipper.bin file will be in the home/pi/klipper/out folder. This can be directly downloaded to your computer from the SSH software's left panel.

Firmware Update via DFU¶

Raspberry Pi or CB1 update via DFU.

Hold the Boot button and connect the board to Raspberry Pi/CB1 via Type-C cable to enter DFU mode.

Enter lsusb in the SSH terminal to query the DFU device ID.

Using command below to navigate to the Klipper directory:

cd ~/klipper

Then using command below to flash DFU device:

make flash FLASH_DEVICE=2e8a:0003

After flash firmware into ADXL345. It can using command below to find serial id of device:

ls /dev/serial/by-id/*

Note

to query the device's Serial ID (only applicable for USB communication, not for CANBus).

Note

For USB communication, you don't need to press the Boot button for subsequent updates. Enter the following command to flash the firmware

replacing /dev/serial/by-id/<serial-id> with the actual ID found in the previous step

make flash FLASH_DEVICE=/dev/serial/by-id/<serial-id>

Configuring Klipper¶

Info

Download the sample-bigtreetech-adxl345-v2.0.cfg config file from GitHub ADXL345

Upload to the Configuration Files.

Add section below into printer.cfg

[include sample-bigtreetech-adxl345-v2.0.cfg]

Then set the correct ID number for your board.

[mcu btt_adxl345]
serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper_rp2040_btt_acc-if00

!!! tip Configure the module's functions according toADXL345 Config Reference

The axes_map parameter needs to be set according to the direction of the module installation and the movement direction of the printer. The first parameter represents the direction of the accelerometer module corresponding to the axis when the printer's X-axis moves in the positive direction (the silk screen on the module shows the direction of each axis of the module), and the second parameter represents the direction of the accelerometer when the Y-axis moves in the positive direction.

Tip

After configuring and installing the module and successfully connecting to the printer, you can start the resonance compensation test.

In Mainsail's Console, enter the following command to start X axis calibration:

SHAPER_CALIBRATE AXIS=X

Enter the following command to start Y axis calibration:

SHAPER_CALIBRATE AXIS=Y

After calibration is complete, follow the prompts and enter SAVE_CONFIG to save the calibration parameters.

Tip

After the resonance compensation test, the ADLX345 module can be removed. The module configuration needs to be commented out in the printer.cfg file, otherwise the printer will fail to start if it cannot find the module. Comment out the module configuration by adding # in front of the config file name:

# [include sample-bigtreetech-adxl345-v2.0.cfg]

Assembly¶

Warning

Avoid overtightening screws during installation to prevent damage.

Example using the Voron StealthBurner:

Method 1:

Install on the side bracket with the dual holes (matches official spacing).

Method 2:

Use screws through the PCB and rubber ring on the heater block as shown.
