In order to meet the needs of customers using RP2040 5-axis, we made a fly-puppet motherboard. If you use Raspberry Pi cm4, then this motherboard will become an integrated board of Raspberry Pi 4 + 3D printer motherboard, and run klipper firmware directly. At the same time, it can also connect to Fly Pi, Raspberry PI 3/3b/4b through the 40p GPIO header. 5-axis fits most machines on the market today, and it’s a very interesting board.
