Overview
This page covers any general information for the Fly-Super8 boards.
It is currently available through AliExpress.
- 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 series 168 MHz, STM32F407ZGT6 chip
- Supported Firmware: Marlin 2.0, Reprap, and Klipper
- Drivers supported: A4988, LV8729, DRV8225, TMC2208, 2209,5160, & 5160HV.
- Drive mode support: TMC: UART, & SPI
- Support for 8 independent motor drives, 5 extruders, and 10 PWM fans
- All drivers sockets support up to 48 volts (except the v1 which only had 3 x 48 volt ports).
- Supported Displays: serial touch screen, 12864 LCD, 2004 LCD , FLY 4.3, & 7.0 V1
- Supports automatic bed leveling sensor: BLTouch
- Optional limit switch power supply: 5V, 12V, & 24V
- On-board WiFi supported with Reprap firmware.
- PWM Fan MOS boards can be directly replaced in case of damage.
Board Fuses
The board is supplied without the fuses installed.
It is supplied with different fuses than the listing on AliExpress. The fuses should be installed as shown below.
Driver Jumpers
The jumpers should be installed as below. “Common Interpolation” should be used for standalone drivers. “SPI mode Interpolation” is supported for TMC5160 drivers. “UART mode Interpolation” should be used when using smart drivers (i.e. TMC2208, TMC2209, TMC2225 and TMC2226)
Driver Diag Pin
The driver diag pin is used for sensorless homing and stall detection.
The Fly-Super8 does not have a way of disabling the diag pin as it is designed to be used with Fly-2209 drivers which have a switch on the underside of them for disabling the diag pin. Set the dip switch to ‘ON’ to enable the diag pin.
If you plan on using endstops rather than sensorless homing and do not have the Fly-2209 drivers, you need to bend or remove the diag pin.
Fan Mosfets
The Fly-Super8 features 5 replacable fan mosfet modules (VS3622e) that control 10 fan outputs.
If the MOSFET is damaged by an accidental short circuit it can easily be replaced. New Fly-MOS modules can be purchased from AliExpress
The Fan-MOS design allows it to be inserted in either orientation.
Fan Voltage
The fan voltage can be set using jumpers to either 5v, 12v and Vin.
Set them as shown below.
IO Output Voltage
The IO output voltage can be set to either 3.3v, 5v or 12v. The default is 5v. Set them as shown below.
Maximum Input voltage
Board/Bed Power
The main board and heated bed power inputs can handle voltage up to 30v.
Driver Power
Fly-Super8 versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, both of the driver power inputs 0-2 and 3-7 can handle voltage up to 62v.
Fly-Super8 version 1.0 allows for up to 62 volts on the power input for Drivers 0,1 and 2. Drivers 3-7 allow up to 24 volts.
Thermistor Connection
Thermistors should use the ADC inputs. The thermistors should be connected between ground and the signal pin.
