Tutorial - Installing Klipper in MKS PI

[onolox]

Installation process of this Armbian:

• Download the image you like
• Install in the SD Card or eMMC via BalenaEtcher
• Check the size of the system partition, maybe you need to rezise it, (leave 500MB free at the end).
• Turn on, get the IP from the LCD (cable or wireless)
• Log in as root, pass 1234, folow steps in the console (ssh "root@your IP")
• Log in as the user you created
• sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade
• Turn on the PINS via "sudo armbian-config" > System > Hardware - toggle on the option gpio, confim and reboot
• Install Klipper via: https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh
• Turn on the internal PINs for ADXL345: https://www.klipper3d.org/RPi_microcontroller.html?h=gpio

To use the internal PINs of the MKS PI, in printer.cfg:

[mcu mkspi]
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

[output_pin BEEPER_pin] pin: mkspi: gpiochip1/gpio24

thanks for the guide. Unfortunately i do not have an option gpio. I have an option of 1w-gpio, but activating this one just makes my system unbootable. Using jammy current 6.1.37

Try bullseye.

Hello, When i flash the image to sd card, i have a working MKS Skipr. When i flash the image to eMMC, then it does not boot. Is this something that needs to be worked on or should it already have to work? I used this image: Armbian_23.08.0-trunk_Mkspi_jammy_edge_6.3.11

Thank you.

I use eMMC, no problems.
