  • Open menuconfig 
    make menuconfig KCONFIG_CONFIG=config.super8

  • Set the following settings

    • Enable extra low-level configuration options : Checked
    • Micro-controller Architecture : STMicroelectronics STM32
    • Processor model: STM32F407
    • Bootloader offset: 32KiB bootloader
    • Clock Reference: 8 MHz crystal
    • Communication interface - CAN bus (on PB8/PB9)

    • CAN bus speed: 500000

Flash Klipper CAN bus firmware with Katapult over CAN bus

  • Get the Fly-Super8 UUID buy running the following script. 
    ~/katapult/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -q
  • If CAN devices are detected the above command will return the following. 
    Detected uuid: 8248a4b16ede, Application: Katapult
    Flash Can Query
    Flash Can Query

  • Each device will have a unique uuid. In the above example, 8248a4b16ede is the micro-controller’s canbus uuid.

  • Save the UUID for the next step and for using in your printer.cfg file.

  • Flash the klipper FW to the Fly-Super8 by running the following command. 
    python3 ~/katapult/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin -u {paste your UUID here}

    Example

    python3 ~/katapult/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin -u 8248a4b16ede
  • You should get a download progress bar and File downloaded successfuly when the burning is complete.
