Klipper USB Accelerometer

A PCB designed to make Klipper's input shaping much easier by simplifying the wiring and config for measuring resonances. You just need this PCB and a USB C cable.

Purchasing a KUSBA

This project is licensed under GPL v3, meaning vendors are allowed to sell KUSBA PCBs without paying me. If you'd like to support the development of this and future projects please consider sponsoring me on GitHub. You can also subscribe on Patreon or YouTube.

You can also use the included gerber files to order your own from a PCB manufacturer like PCBWay or JLCPCB.

Instructions

Rampon Firmware is recommended. It is easier to flash and less buggy than Klipper on RP2040.

Toolhead Mounts

Toolhead mounts can be found here.
The CAD model of the PCB and some toolhead mounts can be found here.
