Klipper Configuration

Klipper Configuration for Classic Mode

Config File (Firmwares 4.0.1 or earlier)

[cartographer]
serial:
#   Path to the serial port for the Cartographer device. Typically has the form
#   /dev/serial/by-id/usb-cartographer_cartographer_...
#   
#   If you are using the CAN Bus version, replace serial: with canbus_uuid: and add the UUID.
#   Example: canbus_uuid: 1283as878a9sd
#
speed: 40.
#   Z probing dive speed.
lift_speed: 5.0
#   Z probing lift speed.
backlash_comp: 0.5
#   Backlash compensation distance for removing Z backlash before measuring
#   the sensor response.
# 
#   Offsets are measured from the centre of your coil, to the tip of your nozzle 
#   on a level axis. It is vital that this is accurate. 
#
x_offset: 0.0
#   X offset of cartographer from the nozzle.
y_offset: 21.1
#   Y offset of cartographer from the nozzle.
mesh_runs: 2
#   Number of passes to make during mesh scan.

[bed_mesh]
zero_reference_position: 125, 125    
#    set this to the middle of your bed
speed: 200
#    movement speed of toolhead during bed mesh
horizontal_move_z: 5
#    height of scanner during bed mesh scan
mesh_min: 35, 6
#    start point of bed mesh [X, Y]
mesh_max: 240, 198
#    end point of bed mesh [X, Y]
probe_count: 30, 30
algorithm: bicubic

If you want to use the probe for Input Shaper, please add the following to your config.

[adxl345]
cs_pin: cartographer:PA3
spi_bus: spi1

[resonance_tester]
accel_chip: adxl345
probe_points:
    125, 125, 20

You then need to remove, or comment out your [probe] section.

Now add a safe_z_home section with the following inforamation.

[safe_z_home]
home_xy_position: [your x-axis center coordinate], [your y-axis center coordinate]
# Example home_xy_position: 175,175 - This would be for a 350 * 350mm bed. 
z_hop: 10

You will also need to update your Z configuration settings, this will involve removing or commenting out your position_endstop: configuration. Homing_retract_dist must also be set to 0

Don't get confused, "endstop_pin" should contain probe and NOT cartographer.

[stepper_z]
endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop # uses cartographer as virtual endstop
homing_retract_dist: 0 # cartographer needs this to be set to 0

If you are running Klipper Screen, add this Macro to your G-Code, this stops klipper screen doing a random bedmesh when you press Z Calibrate on it.

[gcode_macro PROBE_CALIBRATE]
gcode:
    CARTOGRAPHER_CALIBRATE

Finally, you need to ensure you have a suitable bed_mesh section. Information can be found here
