Tip
  • SHT36 V2 provides Katapult firmware for both USB and CAN connections, which can be flashed as needed.
  • Katapult Firmware Flashing
  • SHT36 V2 is pre-flashed with CAN-connected Katapult firmware at a baud rate of 1M.
Notes

Firmware Flashing Instructions

  • Both firmware compilation and flashing require a host computer.
  • SHT36 V2 can be connected to the host computer via CAN.
  • CAN connection requires the use of XT30(2+2)-F.
  • Below is the appearance of the XT30(2+2)-F data cable:

Important
  • Flashing the mainboard firmware requires flashing Klipper via Katapult.
  • If you are certain that the mainboard has already been flashed with Katapult, there is no need to proceed with flashing the Katapult firmware at the end.

CAN Firmware Compilation​

  • SHT36 V2 can only connect to the host computer via CAN.
  • For STM 103: see 103 CAN Firmware Flashing
  • For APM 072 and STM 072: see 072 CAN Firmware Flashing

Katapult Firmware Explanation​

Tip

Katapult was originally named CanBoot, and later renamed to Katapult

  • Katapult firmware is a type of bootloader that can be used in conjunction with Klipper. After flashing via DFU or similar methods, one-click firmware updates can be performed using commands.
  • Advantages: Quickly double-press the reset button or power cycle twice to enter Katapult firmware, during which 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 methods for connecting to the host machine, with each method’s firmware being independent of the others:
    • CAN connection
      • Advantages: After compiling the Klipper firmware, it can be updated directly using commands; strong anti-interference capability.
      • Disadvantages: The firmware compilation speed must be known in advance.
    • RS232 connection
      • Advantages: After compiling the Klipper firmware, it can be updated using commands; very strong anti-interference capability.
      • Disadvantages: One-click firmware updates via commands are not possible; 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, potentially causing disconnection.
