USB ID Acquisition

• Please prepare a data cable with data transfer function, if the length is particularly long, it is recommended to use a data cable with a ferrite ring

  Search USB Tutorial

  Precautions Before Searching for Devices

  • Please connect to SSH before searching for the USB ID Connect to SSH
  • Please note that you need to ensure that you log in to SSH via the network rather than via serial port
  • Please ensure that the mainboard with the flashed USB firmware is connected, and the data cable connecting to the host computer has data transmission function

  Search for Devices

  • Ensure that the host computer can connect normally to the network, and ensure that the data cable connecting the downstream device to the host computer has data transmission function.
  • After SSH connection to the host computer, enter lsusb and press Enter. If the information circled in the image below appears, you can proceed to the next step.
    • If there is no feedback at all, this is a system problem with the host computer. We are unable to help. You need to replace it with a confirmed normal system or replace the host computer.
    • If the prompt says there is no lsusb command, you can execute the following command to install:

      sudo apt-get install usbutils

      
  • 1d50:6177 belongs to the device you will use this time.
    • Some host computers may not display fully or not display due to system issues.
    • If the lsusb command can display the device but does not show 1d50:6177, please try replacing the data cable and connecting the mainboard to another USB port on the host computer.
  • If you have executed the above steps before and successfully burned the Klipper firmware, the mainboard is running normally, and you just need to update the Klipper firmware, please directly refer to the Firmware Update section in the right-hand menu bar of this page.
  Note

  You must query the 1d50:6177 device before proceeding to the next step

  Search for USBID

  ls /dev/serial/by-id/*

  • Enter the command below and press Enter. If everything is normal, one blue ID will appear. (The following is for reference only)
  
  • If no ID appears after entering the command below, but lsusb shows the device, please replace the host computer or the host computer system.
  Note

  If multiple IDs appear, please select the corresponding ID based on your mainboard's MCU model.

  Fill in the USB ID into the configuration

  • Open the printer web interface, find printer.cfg under the configuration option in the left sidebar: fluidd is {...}, mainsail is Machine, click to enter.

    

  • Copy the blue ID and paste it into the serial: field under the [mcu] node in the printer.cfg configuration file. After saving and restarting, the motherboard can be connected. If Klipper prompts ADC out of range, it is a normal phenomenon. Connect the heated bed and thermistor properly, configure the thermistor and output pins for the nozzle and heated bed, then save and restart.

    
  dangerous

  Note: All IDs shown in the document are examples. The actual ID of each mainboard is different. Please modify and fill in according to the actual obtained ID.

CANBus UUID Acquisition

• Connect the tool board to UTOC or a mainboard with bridge firmware using an XT30 data cable before searching for the ID, the following is a reference wiring diagram
• Please note whether the dip switch is set to the corresponding position
  
• Please ensure that the CAN H and CAN L have a resistance of about 60Ω when powered off, if it is 120Ω, then a 120Ω jumper should be connected, if it is about 40Ω, the jumper should be removed
  

  CAN Configuration and ID Search

  • If you need to use CAN, make sure your host computer has performed CAN configuration

  ---

  Notes

  Make sure the mainboard is connected to the host computer before proceeding with the following operations

  warning

  Ensure that the CAN network of the host computer, the CAN speed of the bridge mainboard, and the CAN tool board's speed are completely consistent

  Precautions Before Searching for Devices

  • Before searching for CAN ID, please connect to SSH
  • Please note that you need to log in to SSH via the network, not via the serial port
  • Make sure you have connected the UTOC or flashed the CAN bridge firmware on the mainboard, and ensure that the data cable connected to the host computer has data transmission functionality

  Search for Devices

  • Now that you have successfully logged in to the host computer, you can enter lsusb to search for devices, which will result in one of the following situations
    • Entering lsusb prompts that the ls command is not found, then you can enter the following command to install the command

      sudo apt-get install usbutils

    • Entering lsusb results in no response, this is a system issue, we cannot do anything about it, you need to change the system or use a confirmed normal system
    • The information in the image below appears, please note that this is just a reference. You only need to confirm that 1d50:606f appears
      
  • 1d50:606f is the device you need to use this time
  • If there are multiple 1d50:606f, it is recommended to exclude one, otherwise it may affect subsequent burning and firmware connection. For example, FLY MINI PAD is recommended to use the built-in UTOC instead of other CAN bridge devices
  • If not, please check yourself whether the data cable is connected properly and whether the firmware is flashed correctly.
  Notes

  You can only search for CAN ID when there is 1d50:606f

  Search for CAN ID

  • Enter the following command to search for ID

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

  • FAST system uses the following command

  python ~/klipper/scripts/canbus_query.py can0

  • If an ID appears and the Application: at the end shows Klipper, it means this ID can be used directly
  • If an ID appears and the Application: at the end shows CANBOOT or Katapult, it means the firmware needs to be flashed before it can be used
    

  CAN Problem Collection

  Notes

  • If you cannot find the CAN ID, please see the following document
  • CAN Problem Collection

  Enter the CAN ID into the configuration

  Fluidd is: {…} , click to enter, you can find printer.cfg

  Mainsail is: machine, click to enter, you can find printer.cfg

  • Copy the queried UUID and enter it into the canbus_uuid: node under the [mcu] section in the printer.cfg configuration. After saving and restarting, the mainboard can be connected. If Klipper indicates that the firmware needs to be updated, ADC error etc., it means Klipper has already connected to the mainboard

  • If Application: shows Canboot, it cannot be configured into the configuration, and you need to flash the Klipper firmware to proceed

    
    dangerous

    Note: All IDs mentioned in the document are examples. The actual ID of each mainboard is different. Please modify and fill in according to the actual obtained ID.

  • The following is a reference configuration

    dangerous

    [mcu]
    canbus_uuid: <Replace this with the ID you just queried>

    • The following is a reference configuration for a mainboard plus a toolboard
    • If it is a mainboard ID, it must be [mcu] plus canbus_uuid: plus the ID you searched for
    • If it is a toolboard, it must be [mcu toolboard name] plus canbus_uuid: plus the ID you searched for
    

RS232 ID Acquisition

• Connect the tool board to UTOR or G2T using an XT30 data cable before searching for the ID, the following is a reference wiring diagram
