Katapult Firmware Instructions
Name Explanation
Katapult was formerly known as CanBoot, and both names may appear simultaneously in older tutorials or firmware names.
Katapult is a bootloader used to boot and update Klipper:
- Katapult itself cannot be used as a Klipper MCU; after flashing, you still need to write Klipper firmware that matches the hardware and communication method.
- Supported tool boards can enter Katapult by quickly double-pressing the
RESETbutton; after entering, there is usually a status light blinking. - CAN, RS232, and USB use independent Katapult firmware; you cannot simply modify file names or mix them directly.
- For CAN firmware, you must also select the correct bus speed, with common speeds being
500Kand1M.
