RepRap firmware on Big Tree Tech SKR - Chris's Basement

[@sortofsmarter]

I have said it before, I really appreciate your hard work and how in depth you go to show us how to get these things setup without making us feel like we need a advanced degree in computer science... and without feeling like your being paid by a company to do there bidding...keep up the great work..

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

@@ChrisRiley finding a good mount, part cooling duct and BL Touch was a challenge for the E3D Hemera. TK Ward offers a very nice solution on the FolgerTech Mods Facebook group. The only issue I’m sorting out is bed temp. That thermosistor is below a pretty big piece of magnet so I suspect what that temp records is vastly different than the print surface. But...back to the topic, the SKR Duet has been really great. I hate messing with firmware, it’s not something I enjoy, so the ability to make quick changes on the fly ... very nice.

Chris, I can't get sensorless homing to work on my skr 1.4 is there something I'm missing I've jumped the uart pins and followed your steps it would just crash into the motor, no matter the sensitivity

[@rodericksmith2278]

@@TobyDIOK , check that you've got the right number of smart drivers set in board.txt (on the stepper.numSmartDrivers line). Also be sure that line isn't duplicated -- it tends to get pushed to the end of the file, after a bunch of newlines, so it's easy to miss or accidentally duplicate. If you continue to have problems, I suggest you ask on the Discord group (discord.com/channels/711873626080804914), which is better for help/debugging than KZbin comments, in my experience.

Hi Chris, great work, I always love your tutorials, as you cover everything so nicely. And i was waiting for someone to show how it should be done in RRF3. You're the Man.

[@ChrisRiley]

Thanks!

[@thelightspeed3d712]

Nice job Chris! My only suggestion that would make probing easier, on M557 instead of setting the distance and the amount of probe points, just use a M557 X”xx:xx” Y”xx:xx” then a Px:x; the “p” setting makes the dividing of the given space automatic like a Prusa would. So for example mine is P7:4 or 7 in the X and 4 rows in the Y. I find this to be much easier.

[@ChrisRiley]

Thanks man, good tip.

[@samuelp1227]

I bought the module from tindie from your video description but then realized I'd actually bought an skr2 do you think it'll be compatible?

SKR 1.3 1.4 and 2 should all work the same.

[@malloot9224]

I have been running the FLY-CDY board with this firmware for a while now and its absolutely great! It becomes so easy to tune, edit and mod your printer with RRF that i really feel unshackled in what i want to do with my printers! I might just build something myself without the marlin hassle.

[@mbr2155]

Hi Chris, i like your videos. I have a question regarding the shown setup. It seemes that the shown Wifi Tool uses the Expansion port. I think the driver update board uses the the BTT Expansion port too. Is Theresa possibility to use both together ? Do you have some tips? Cheers Maik

[@ChrisRiley]

On the older board, it's really hard to use both, there just isn't enough connections. On the newer boards, they are going to CAN bus which makes all of this a lot easier.

[@larsord9139]

Really great, it looks like (to me) better than marlin. My question is with EXP1 and EXP2 being used by the RRF wifi board how do you connect the display panel?

[@rodericksmith2278]

A standard RepRapDiscount-style display, like a 12864, won't work with this configuration. There are serial-based alternatives that work with most of these 32-bit boards, though. Duet3D's PanelDue is designed for RepRapFirmware, but it's a bit pricey. There are others, like the BTT TFT series, that will work, but with stock firmware some features won't work because of g-code differences. There are third-party (community-developed) firmware forks for the BTT TFT series that make them work quite well, though, for much less than a PanelDue costs. I've also seen references to interface hardware that let RepRap-style monochrome panels work, but I don't know much about them; and if you're adding hardware, IMHO, you might as well upgrade to a color LCD panel.

[@ChrisRiley]

Roderick has this one covered, thanks again!

[@OVCArchion]

@@rodericksmith2278 Any source on which fork to play with? If I can get the last few bugs worked out of setting this up on my machine, I'd like to play with the screen, since I have it here anyway. Just looked and there are 880 forks for the TFT firmware.

[@rodericksmith2278]

@@OVCArchion, I've had the best luck on my BTT TFT35-E3 with the Thro42 firmware (github.com/Thro42/BTT-SOVOL-TouchScreenFirmware-Duet). This enables launching prints and macros stored on the control board's micro-SD card, and it runs a print control screen when a print is underway. It loses the ability to print from the LCD's own SD card and USB ports, though. Also, if you follow the documentation, the screen will be flaky; for me, at least, I need to activate support in RRF's config.g with "M575 P1 S1 B57600", not with the "M575 P1 S3 B57600" that the documentation specifies. (Actually, I use B115200, but RRF's default/recommendation is 57600, so best to start with that in case 115200 is too fast.) I've written up more of my experiences here: www.rodsbooks.com/robo3d-upgrade/index.html#tft35 One more point: The BTT github page for their TFT screens (github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TouchScreenFirmware) is quite active. They recently accepted some patches that improve RRF functionality, but not to the point of what the Thro42 fork does. With any luck the fork's improvements will get merged into the main BTT build before too long, but your guess is as good as mine when (or even if) that might happen.

Great video...just wondering besides the need to use a RPI, why would you go this route vs Klipper with Mainsail/Fluidd UI day to day use? Looks like a fun thing to try though. I may have a go on on my 1.3 board. Can easily flip back to klipper if needed.

[@malloot9224]

Yeah the setup with a PI is a bit confusing, but RRF is a great FW besides just DWC. With a wifi module or the FLY-CDY board that includes wifi for a low price you have everything in one go

[@ChrisRiley]

I haven't use Klipper in a while, but the RRF seems to be a very easy to use interface that is somewhat stratforward to setup. Klipper use to take a little more work and more command line.

[@scottbenninger9624]

@@ChrisRiley The klipper install is quite a bit easier these days. There is a nice installer called Kiauth that can install any/all the components or a pre built image of Fluidd called FluiddPi with Fluidd/Moonraker/Klipper ready to go. Works very well...basically no command line other than flashing the MCU firmware. The new resonance compensation calibration works very well too. I use Fluiddpi but I still want to try RRF once I get the wifi adaptor.

[@Evandure]

I am just looking into upgrading to SKR with Reprap. I found out about a "new" board. It's the SKR 2 which seems to be a upgraded 1.4 turbo and it has some pretty nice features. Direct Wifi Interface socket and also no need to clip the pins on TMC Drivers when not using sensorless homing. More fan headers. What do you think? Should i go with the SKR 2? It should work the same and it is available in CZ compared to the 1.4

[@ChrisRiley]

Yes, go with the SKR 2, note the WIFI module for that board isn't out yet, but you might be able to find one that works.

Hi Chris, Did you do a video on comparing the Bigtreetech skr 2 vs skr e3 rrf v1.1 board. I know that the skr 2 uses interchangeable IC chips. And the E3 rrf does not. And it looks like the E3 RRF board has a bigger heatsink. Which is important to me. I was about to get the E3 RRF board but I can't find one in stock. Thank you.

[@ChrisRiley]

Hey, I haven't done a comparison on them, but it's pretty much all about features. Both boards are good and get the job done, but the SKR2 has more plug and controlable ports. Also, a larger formfactor.

If you've moved on to the beta versions then you'll need the latest wifi version from gloomyandy. make sure you're calling it DuetWiFiServer.bin. The issue you're seeing may also be not having the right pins mapped in the board.txt file. Make sure the esp8266 serial pins are correct and the aux pins say nopin. These can be checked using M122 P200

[@saritsotangkur2438]

Does this allow you to upload gcode to the sd card much faster than with marlin?

[@PCR]

yes

[@rodericksmith2278]

Chris has done at least three videos on adding WiFi to Marlin-based printers. A couple use ESP8266 modules attached directly to the mainboard, and those methods are very slow, because the WiFi modules communicate with the mainboard via serial links. Another used a Panucatt WiFi Backpack, which enables much faster uploads to the SD card plugged into an LCD control screen, and it's much faster. I've never used either type of device, so I have no way to directly compare. I just timed an upload of a 2.4 MiB Benchy gcode file to my SKR Pro 1.2 running RRF, and it took 15 seconds. The time for such operations might vary a bit depending on the signal strength (mine's not so good), the CPU or other features of the board, the speed of the SD card, etc.

[@ChrisRiley]

Thanks Peter and Roderick, yes very much so, haven't found a solid solution for Marlin as of yet.

[@PaganWizard]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Pro has the correct ports to do the same thing.

[@FilmFactry]

Chris, Does this just interface power and RX/TX? I ask because my MKS Robin E3 has an AUX pins that have GND, 5v TX and RX. I have 8266 and ESP-01s. What's your thoughts.

[@ChrisRiley]

This one uses the SPI interface just like Duet does, so you would still need to have an SPI insterface.

Thanks again

[@rodericksmith2278]

Once RRF is installed, you can usually update RRF itself via the DWC, just by uploading the new file to the System area of the DWC. That doesn't always work, though; for instance, the protocols changed between 3.2-beta3.2 and 3.2-beta4.1, necessitating an update by installing the new file on the micro-SD card, much like with the initial installation. (At least, this was true with my SKR Pro v1.2.) Note that this does NOT require the full reconfiguration; you've just got to drop the new firmware file on the micro-SD card with a name of firmware.bin. Thus, you should ensure that you have access to the micro-SD card once the board is installed. You can probably get by with it being SOMEWHAT awkward to get to, since you won't need to do updates frequently, and the Web-based updates will USUALLY work. The WiFi module is another matter; it has its own firmware. This can be updated using special software on your computer and a USB cable from the computer to the WiFi module; or for the Tindie board, you can connect two more wires and update the firmware much like you do the main RRF, by uploading a new file to the System area of the DWC.

That's actually pretty easy. You set up the axis-to-stepper configuration via M584, so you'd do something like "M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 E3", rather than "M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3". The "Z2:4" part says to use steppers 2 and 4 (numbered starting from 0) as the Z-axis steppers. You'll also need to define the stepper 4 direction via M569, just like with other steppers.

If neither will ship to the UK, then you can try the BTT module (there's a link to the US Amazon listing in the description above, and I'm sure you can track it down elsewhere).

[@rodericksmith2278]

A real Duet 2 WiFi needs to use the firmware from Duet3D (github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/). The Duet3D boards use Atmel CPUs, whereas the SKR v1.3/1.4 featured in this video uses an LPC CPU. Both are ARM chips, but they're different enough that different binaries are needed. If you're having problems, I suggest you ask questions on the Duet3D forum (forum.duet3d.com/).

What adapter? If you're asking if the BTT ESP-01S module will work, then no, it won't. (At least, it won't run the DWC. I have no idea if it'll work with its own more limited Web interface.) You need the BTT RRF WiFi 1.0 module, the Pete's Playground module, or a build-it-yourself variant. There's also a way to get similar functionality out of a tethered Raspberry Pi, if you happen to have one lying around.

Well then... just got my duet 2 only to find that this is possible, probably would have gone with an skr 1.4 if I knew this was possible and relatively easy.

[@rodericksmith2278]

Although this is possible with an SKR 1.4 board, the Duet 2 and Duet 3 lines offer faster CPUs and more RAM (64 KiB RAM and LPC CPUs in the SKR 1.3 and 1.4 vs. 128 KiB and Atmel CPUs in the Duet 2 boards, for instance). As noted in the video, there are some limitations imposed by the limited RAM and lower-end CPUs. The BTT SKR Pro and GTR boards, which are supported by the same software project as the SKR 1.3 and 1.4, have specs that are more like those of the Duet 2, although they use different CPUs (STM32-series). In other words, you may not have wasted your money, although I can't say whether the limitations of the LPC-based boards are important to you.

[@ChrisRiley]

Very well put by Roderick, the Duet board is still a much higher class, I really like using them still.

[@sebastiansombra]

Hi. Would this work using a ESP01S module from BTT (www.aliexpress.com/item/33044587899.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.51ee4c4d3th5pa) connected to the SKR1.3 through the TFT screen? I currently have this setup with Marlin.

[@rodericksmith2278]

No -- at least, not with the DWC. It's conceivable that the current Web UI you've got on it would work the same if you swapped out Marlin for RRF, but I can't promise even that would work. To get the DWC, you'd need to upgrade the WiFi module. If you're comfortable with the wiring and soldering, you could put this together for about $5; but a pre-built module will cost at least $10 plus shipping, and the shipping will be at least that much, so probably $25-$30.

@@PCR Web interface is Dependent on the network. NOT super fast, especially if you have to - start device, phone/tablet/computer, wait for load, wait for browser, wait for it to load.. and there is still a major lag between enter a command and it happening on the printer, (often pre loaded Gcode that will finish running) LOL panel Due? over priced touch screen? again, simple 10 dollar read out is all I'm asking for, reason I got rid of Duet I had. As well as a few other minor things I prefer with OctoPrint and repitier over Duet interface.

[@rodericksmith2278]

There are other displays that'll work. In theory, anything that "talks" g-code to the printer over a serial interface will work. In practice, there may be complications because of different dialects, but there are some that work pretty well, either despite that or because there are third-party firmware builds. The BTT TFT series, for instance, has a number of RRF-enabled builds. AFAIK, the best of these is this one: github.com/Thro42/BTT-SOVOL-TouchScreenFirmware-Duet These aren't quite as cheap as a RepRapDiscount 12864 or similar, but they're still pretty cheap.

[@TheDIMONART]

I've migrated from 8 bit arduino mega+ramps to 32 bit boards. Honestly, 8-bit board can do print job...But, 32 bit boards are so cheap, there is no reason to using 8 bit anymore..I use Marlin 2.0.7.2 and it works perfectly and stable.
