  • Updating of all the listed installations above excluding OctoPrint. For updating OctoPrint, please use the OctoPrint interface!
  • Removing of all the listed installations above.
  • Backup of all the listed installations above.

  • Read ID of the currently connected printer (only one at the time)

For a list of additional features and their descriptions please see: Feature List


Notes:

  • Important changes to the script will be listed in the Changelog
  • Tested only on Raspbian Buster Lite
  • During the use of this script you will be asked for your sudo password. There are several functions involved which need sudo privileges.
  • Prevent simultaneous use of DWC2 and OctoPrint if possible. There have been reports that DWC2 does strange things while the OctoPrint service is running while using the DWC2 webinterface. The script disables an existing OctoPrint service when installing DWC2. However, the service can also be reactivated with the script!
  • If you used Mainsail v0.0.12 before and you want to upgrade to v0.1.0 or later, you have to reinstall Moonraker as well! Mainsail v0.1.0 will not work with the old Moonraker service. Don't worry, the script can handle the proper removal of the old version.

Q&A

Q: Can i use this script to install multiple instancec of Klipper on the same Pi? (Multisession?)

A: No, and at the moment i don't plan to implement this function. For multisession installations take a look at this script manu7irl created: https://github.com/manu7irl/klipper-DWC2-installer . Keep in mind that klipper-DWC2-installer and KIAUH are NOT compatible with each other.
