Pinout

Note
  • This page lists the pinout of the FLY-Super8 motherboard after flashing Klipper firmware. Pin numbers are based on the motherboard schematic.
  • UART/CS is the driver communication pin: used as UART with TMC2209, and as chip select CS with SPI drivers such as TMC5160. The same pin is multiplexed.
  • EN is the enable pin, typically active-low in Klipper configuration (enable_pin with ! prefix).
  • DIAG is the driver diagnostic signal pin. When using sensorless homing, configure the corresponding diag_pin according to the table below. Some drivers may still require setting the DIAG jumper as described.

Driver Pins​

The FLY-Super8 provides 8 driver ports:

Power Off Before Operation

Before starting, completely shut down the printer and disconnect the power supply. Do not plug or unplug wiring harnesses, arrange interface cable order, or touch terminals while powered on.

DIAG and Sensorless Homing

When using sensorless homing, the driver chip outputs the stall detection signal through the DIAG pin, and Klipper must read this signal through the corresponding input port. The mapping between DIAG and limit switch ports on this motherboard is as follows:

  • DRIVER0–6: DIAG is directly connected to the corresponding limit input port on the main controller (DRIVERn → limit port n). There are no DIAG jumper pins on the board, and the DIAG signal is always delivered to the main controller. When enabling sensorless homing, simply configure the corresponding limit port pin as diag_pin. Do not connect a physical limit switch to that limit port.
  • DRIVER7: DIAG is not directly connected to a limit port. You must manually install the DIAG jumper cap nearby to route the DIAG signal to PF3 (DIAG multiplexed pin) before sensorless homing can be used.

After enabling sensorless homing, the corresponding limit port is occupied by the DIAG signal and must not be simultaneously connected to a mechanical or optical limit switch.

SPI Bus​

SPI drivers such as the TMC5160 use the motherboard hardware SPI bus. Configure spi_bus: spi1a in the configuration — no need to configure MOSI/MISO/SCLK pins separately:

[tmc5160 stepper_x]
spi_bus: spi1a
cs_pin: UART/CS pin of the corresponding driver

Supported Thermistor Types

The thermistor ports support NTC thermistors (100K) by default. The recommended sensor_type is Generic 3950.

List of Klipper built-in sensor_type options that can be connected directly, and recommended applications for each model: Thermistor Configuration Method

K-type thermocouples, PT100, etc., require additional signal conditioning chips and cannot be connected directly to the thermistor ports.
