Quick Start

Goal of this guide: Complete the system deployment and basic configuration of the FLY-Pi within 30 minutes, reaching a state where the Klipper web interface can be accessed.

Completion indicator: Accessing the Klipper web interface through a browser.

Important Notes
  • Required accessories: The FLY-Pi must be used with the FLY M2WE or a TF card, otherwise the system will not boot
  • Power requirements: The DC terminal input range is 12V-24V, do not exceed this range
  • Safe operation: The printer must be turned off and disconnected from power before performing any wiring operations
  • System startup: For the first boot, it is recommended not to install the screen yet, and to complete the configuration via SSH over the network first
