Fly SHT 36 Klipper configuration for CAN bus | Mellow Products Documentation

Klipper configuration on the Fly SHT-36 V1 for CAN bus

Edit me

Important: This guide assumes you have a working Klipper host installation on a Raspberry Pi or compatible device

Setup steps

Klipper firmware

Compile Klipper firmware for can

Note: Repeat these steps if a klipper update requires flashing new firmware to the MCU.

ssh to your klipper host console
cd to the klipper directory
```
cd klipper
```
Run make clean
```
make clean
```
Open menuconfig
```
make menuconfig
```
Set the following settings
- Enable extra Low Level configuration options : Checked
- Micro Controller : STMicroelectronics STM32
- Processor Model: stm32f072
- Build: 8 Kib bootloader
- Clock Ref: 8 MHz crystal
- Comm Interface - CAN bus on PA8/PA9
- Application Offset 8 Kib
- CanBus Speed: 500000
  
  Klipper Menu Config CAN - update this image
Quit and save the configuration
Run Make to compile the firmware

make -j 4

Flash Klipper firmware with CanBoot over CAN bus

Get the SHT-36 UUID buy running the following script.
```
 ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -q
```
If CAN devices are detected the above command will return the following.
```
Found canbus_uuid=6248a4b16ede
```
Each device will have a unique uuid. In the above example, 6248a4b16ede is the micro-controller’s canbus uuid.
Save the UUID for the next step.

Flash the klipper FW to the SHT-36 by running the following command.

python3 ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin -u {paste your UUID here}

Example

python3 ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin -u 6248a4b16ede

You should get a download progress bar and File downloaded successfuly when the burning is complete.
Klipper FW burn over CAN
Your SHT-36 should now have klipper firmware loaded and be ready to use.

CAN configuration

Run one the following commands at the Klipper host SSH console to get the UUID for the SHT-36 tool board.

~/klippy-env/bin/python ~/klipper/scripts/canbus_query.py can0

~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -q

If uninitialized CAN devices are detected the above command will report lines like the following:
```
Found canbus_uuid=6248a4b16ede
```
Each device will have a unique identifier. In the above example, 6248a4b16ede is the micro-controller’s “canbus_uuid”.

Note: The canbus_query.py tool will only report uninitialized devices - if Klipper (or a similar tool) configures the device then it will no longer appear in the list.

add screen shot here

Add the following lines to your printer.cfg file replacing the UUID with the one you copied in the last section.

[mcu SHT-36]      
canbus_uuid: { your UUID here } 
# run the following command to locate the uuid >   ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -q
