Tip
  • The SHT36 LIS3DH comes pre-flashed from the factory with Katapult firmware for CAN connection at a rate of 1M
  • The Katapult firmware for SHT36 LIS3DH CAN connection supports rates of 500K and 1M, and can be re-flashed as needed
  • Katapult Firmware Flashing

Firmware Flashing Instructions

  • The SHT36 LIS3DH can only connect to the host computer via CAN connection
  • CAN requires using an XT30(2+2)-F connector
  • Below is the style of the XT30(2+2)-F data cable

Important Notes
  • Mainboard firmware flashing requires using Katapult to flash Klipper
  • If you are sure the mainboard already has Katapult flashed, there is no need to proceed with the final Flashing Katapult Firmware section

How to Determine Which Firmware You Need​

  • The SHT36 LIS3DH can be connected to the host computer using the following method
  • CAN Firmware Flashing
    • Advantages: If Katapult firmware is flashed, firmware updates can be performed without touching the mainboard, and it supports bus connection
    • Disadvantages: When used together with KlipperScreen, errors such as homing timeout may occur
    • Note: If you need to use CAN, ensure the host computer supports CAN and requires the use of a UTOC or a mainboard flashed with bridge firmware

Katapult Firmware Description​

Tip

Katapult was originally named CanBoot and later renamed to katapult.

  • The Katapult firmware is a type of bootloader that can be used together with Klipper. After flashing via DFU or other methods, firmware can be updated with a single command.
  • Advantages: Quickly double-click the reset button or power cycle twice to enter the Katapult firmware, at which point the LED on the motherboard will blink.
  • Katapult firmware can only be used to flash firmware and cannot connect to Klipper!!!
  • Katapult firmware supports three ways to connect to the host computer, and the firmware for each method is independent.
    • CAN connection
      • Advantages: After compiling the Klipper firmware, it can be updated directly using commands, with strong anti-interference capability.
      • Disadvantages: The firmware compilation speed needs to be known in advance.
    • RS232 connection
      • Advantages: After compiling the Klipper firmware, it can be updated using commands, with very strong anti-interference capability.
      • Disadvantages: Firmware cannot be updated with a single command; manual entry into Katapult firmware is required.
    • USB connection
      • Advantages: After compiling the Klipper firmware, it can be updated directly using commands.
      • Disadvantages: Long data cables are prone to interference, which may cause disconnection.
