🚀 Quick Start
🎯 Purpose of This Guide: Complete system deployment and firmware flashing for the Fly-C8P motherboard within 30 minutes, to reach a state where it can connect to Klipper and undergo basic testing.
✅ Completion Criteria: Access the Klipper interface via a web browser and successfully connect to the Fly-C8P motherboard.
📍 Important Notes
- 📦 Required Accessories: The Fly-C8P must be used with either a Fly-M2WE or TF card, otherwise the system will not boot.
- ⚡ Power Requirements: Input voltage range is 12V-24V, never exceed this range.
- 🔌 Safety Precautions: Always disconnect power before wiring! Follow the guide carefully when flashing firmware.
- 🔧 Tool Preparation: Prepare basic tools such as a screwdriver and data cable in advance.
📦 Step 1: Prepare Tools and Resources

- Ensure the TF card or M2WE is properly formatted before flashing the image.
- Initial system boot may take 3-5 minutes, please be patient.
- Default SSH username: root, password: mellow.
- Screen configuration is only required if you have a display device.
🔌 Step 3: Flash Firmware and Device Recognition
Why This Step? The previous step installs the operating system on the host computer (computing module). This step involves flashing the Klipper firmware onto the microcontroller (the Fly-C8P control board itself). Both components must be paired to function properly.

Or
Flash CAN Bridge Firmware
📝 Notes for This Step
- Ensure the motherboard is properly connected to the computer via USB when flashing firmware.
- If the device is not recognized, check the USB cable and CH340 driver.
- The device ID is required in the Klipper configuration, make sure to obtain it correctly.
- If flashing fails, try restarting the motherboard or changing the USB port.

External Driver Connection and Configuration📝 Notes for This Step
- Strongly Recommended: Always disconnect power before performing any wiring.
- Ensure correct power polarity, reversing it may damage the motherboard.
- Refer to your printer frame diagram for motor wiring sequence.
- Check thermocouple connections before heating the hotbed or extruder.
📈 Step 5: Extended Features and Advanced Configuration (Optional)
The following features can be configured gradually after completing the basic setup and ensuring the printer operates normally:
