Klipper Setup

Klipper Setup for Classic Mode

Installation of the Cartographer Klipper Module

Clone the Klipper module from GitHub using the following commands, you then need to run our installation script.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Cartographer3D/cartographer-klipper.git
./cartographer-klipper/install.sh

This step will automatically create a link to the script and place it in the klipper/klippy/extra directory.

If you are in Mainland China, use the following commands instead:

cd ~
git clone https://gitee.com/NBTP/cartographer-klipper.git
./cartographer-klipper/install.sh

Legacy Klipper environements running on Python2 will need updating to Python 3.9 or later. The easiest way to do that is a complete fresh install, though we do have a guide that can help that is linked here

Managing Updates via Moonraker

In order to keep up to date with our latest Klipper software, please add the following config to the bottom of your moonraker.conf file.

[update_manager cartographer]
type: git_repo
path: ~/cartographer-klipper
channel: dev
origin: https://github.com/Cartographer3D/cartographer-klipper.git
env: ~/klippy-env/bin/python
requirements: requirements.txt
install_script: install.sh
is_system_service: False
managed_services: klipper
info_tags:
  desc=Cartographer Probe

Are you from Mainland China? Use this alternate moonraker.conf instead.

[update_manager cartographer]
type: git_repo
path: ~/cartographer-klipper
channel: dev
origin: https://gitee.com/NBTP/cartographer-klipper.git
env: ~/klippy-env/bin/python
requirements: requirements.txt
install_script: install.sh
is_system_service: False
managed_services: klipper
info_tags:
  desc=Cartographer Probe (Gitee)

upon completion, press SAVE & RESTART and it should now display in the update section of either Mainsail or Fluidd.

Cartographer Software updates managed via Moonraker.

If you get "Repo is dirty. Detected the following modified files: ['install.sh']", a soft Recovery should fix it.

Finding the Serial or UUID

Note, you need to replace the serial path or UUID with your probes serial path or UUID, this can be found by running the following commands

For USB based probes

ls /dev/serial/by-id/

For CAN based probes

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

Take note of either the Serial ID or the UUID.

New Firmware

Since late August, most probes shipping from directly from Cartographer3D, and a majority of our resellers have pre-flashed with the Cartographer Survey Firmware.

If your box or antistatic bag states "Survey Touch Ready", please go here

Klipper Configuation

If it doesnt, don't worry. You can update your probe using our flashing tool. If you want to configure it as is, please go to the next page.
