This is a Klipper configuration for the Troodon 2.0.
For a full video walkthrough on how to switch your Trooodon 2.0 over to Klipper, please refer to the YGK3D YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjz8hzR5_DE).
NOTE: This confifuration was created for the original Troodon 2.0 with Afterburner print head and inductive probe.
For a Troodon 2.0 with Stealthburner make the adjustments to printer.cfg as described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Rwziyn2rM
For a Troodon 2.0 with Tap, make the adjutments to printer.cfg as described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wY5P8Y-w9k

After installing Klipper on a Raspberry Pi, follow these instructions.
Instructions:
- Download both files.
- Put the firmware.bin file on a blank FAT32 formatted SD card.
- Rename the printer configuration file to printer.cfg.
- Open the bottom of the printer and remove the existing SD card from the motherboard.
- Insert the new SD card and power on the machine
- Plug the printer into the Raspberry Pi using a USB cable (port is at the back of the machine).
- Open a Terminal window and SSH into the Pi running Klipper (e.g. pi@troodon2.local).
- Send the command "ls /dev/serial/by-id/"
- Copy the output from the command
- Open a web broswer and type the print host path in the url bar (e.g. troodon2.local).
- Upload the printer.cfg file (overriding the existing one).
- Open the printer.cfg file and replace the printer serial identifier with the one you copied from the terminal.
- Restart the firmware.
- Enjoy Klipper on the Troodon 2.0.
IMPORTANT: After switching to Klipper and before the first print, make sure you properly determine the z offset. The value in printer.cfg was set for my particular machine and won't necessarilly be correct for yours. You can follow these instructions: https://docs.vorondesign.com/community/howto/120decibell/z_endstop_configuration.html.
Input Shaping Instructions:
- Power off printer.
- Unplug LCD screen.
- Connect ADXL345 accelerometer to the motherboard via the LCD ribbon cables (see images for wiring reference).
- Comment [display], [neopixel btt_mini12864] and [delayed_gcode setdisplayneopixel] sections of printer.cfg.
- Uncomment [adxl345] and [resonance_tester] sections of printer.cfg.
- Restart firmware.
- Power on printer.
- Send ACCELEROMETER_QUERY in the console to ensure that acceleromter is connected correctly.
- Send TEST_RESONANCES AXIS=X in the console.
- Send TEST_RESONANCES AXIS=Y in the console.
- Uncomment [input_shaper] section of printer.cfg and update with the identified shaper parameters.
- Comment [adxl345] and [resonance_tester] sections of printer.cfg.
- Uncomment [display], [neopixel btt_mini12864] and [delayed_gcode setdisplayneopixel] sections of printer.cfg.
- Power off printer.
- Disconnect accelerometer.
- Reconnect LCD.
- Power on printer.
- Optional: Refer to Klipper documentation for how to generate shaper graphs.
- Enjoy ringing-free prints.
Note: Sending CALIBRATE_SHAPER will test the resonances of X and Y in sequence and automatically append the shaper parameters to the end of config.g, making step 11 redundant.
