  • SHT36 V3 comes pre-programmed with the Katapult firmware for CAN connection, at a rate of 1M
  • The Katapult firmware for SHT36 V3 CAN connection has rates of 500K and 1M, and can be programmed by yourself if needed
  • Katapult Firmware Burning

Firmware Burning Instructions

  • Both firmware compilation and firmware burning require the use of a host computer
  • SHT36 V3 can connect to the host computer using RS232 or CAN
  • RS232 and CAN need to use XT30(2+2)-F for connection
  • The following is the data cable style of XT30(2+2)-F
Notes
  • Burning the mainboard firmware requires using Katapult to burn Klipper
  • If the mainboard has already been burned with Katapult, there is no need to burn the Katapult firmware at the end

How to determine which firmware you need

  • SHT36 V3 can connect to the host computer using the following methods
  • CAN Firmware
    • Benefits: If you have burned the Katapult firmware, you can update the firmware without touching the mainboard, and it supports bus connection
    • Drawbacks: It may cause errors such as homing timeout when used together with KlipperScreen.
    • Note: If you need to use CAN, make sure the host computer supports CAN, and you need to pair it with UTOC or a mainboard with bridging firmware
  • RS232 Firmware
    • Benefits: No special software is required, communication is reliable and stable
    • Drawbacks: To reprogram the firmware, you need to enter manual DFU to update the firmware or double-click RST to enter Katapult to update the firmware
    • Note: Needs to be paired with G2T or UTOR to be used

Katapult Firmware Description

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 burning the firmware using methods like DFU, you can use commands to update the firmware with one click.
  • Advantage: Quickly double-clicking the reset button or quickly cutting power twice will enter the Katapult firmware, at which point there will be an LED flashing on the mainboard.
  • Katapult firmware can only be used to burn firmware and cannot connect to Klipper!!!
  • Katapult firmware supports three connection methods for connecting to the host computer, and the firmwares for these three methods are independent of each other.
    • CAN connection
      • Advantage: After compiling the KLIPPER firmware, you can directly update the firmware using a command, and it has strong interference resistance.
      • Disadvantage: You need to know the firmware compilation rate in advance.
    • RS232 connection
      • Advantage: After compiling the KLIPPER firmware, you can update the firmware using a command, and it has very strong interference resistance.
      • Disadvantage: You cannot use a command to update the firmware with one click; you need to manually enter the Katapult firmware.
    • USB connection
      • Advantage: After compiling the KLIPPER firmware, you can directly update the firmware using a command.
      • Disadvantage: A long data cable is prone to interference, which may lead to disconnection.
