DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD VS KlipperWrt

The screen doesn’t work by default unfortunately. There is a workaround to get it working. But I found that the default screen is redundant since I’m controlling everything through my laptop or my phone using the web interface. So I removed the original screen entirely

Klipper supports use of a screen. Even the stock Ender 3 screen can be used.

if you’re using a rpi to run klipper you can kinda use it, https://github.com/odwdinc/DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD

I saw this project which seems to incorporate all of that by connecting the display directly to the pi, has anyone used this successfully?

i consider myself an intermediate linux/pi/etc user, as i can putz around, follow instructions, and usually fix my mistakes. now, i was curious if, through this method, would it be possible to use the included screen on the piboy and use the integrated controls?

I was looking around for how to get the V2's display working with klipper and Just found this: https://github.com/odwdinc/DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD

Hey guys, I've been following this tutorial for converting a creality wifi box to run klipper: https://github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt

On a Laptop, log into the Printers Wifi (It will be named CXSWBox-12345678ABCDEF or similar), the password is "12345678". You will get an IP address via DHCP. The Wifi Boards web interface is reachable at 10.10.10.254 with username "admin" and password "admin". Go to Administration > Upload Firmware. Choose one one of the -factory images at https://github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt/tree/main/Firmware/OpenWrt_snapshot, depending if you want to run fluidd or mainsail (Comparison is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHVVcjtWTyA). Upload the image, you will get a message "Not a valid firmware". Go to http://10.10.10.254/adm/system_command.shtml and enter mv /var/tmpFW /media/mmcblk0p1/cxsw_update.tar.bz2 and for the next command reboot. Then wait for a KlipperWrt Wifi to show up. Connect to it, use the static IP 192.168.1.23 with netmask 255.255.255.0. The web interface is available at 192.168.1.1:81.

I recall that Android phones are unreliable for Klipper with all of their built in power saving features that will interrupt prints. Any device that runs Linux should be able to run Klipper. A VM on a Mac or PC should be able to do it as long as you can reliably forward the virtual serial port. Running on a router is possible with KlipperWRT. https://github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt

Instructions from Iona Rapsa's Github - https://github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt

I followed this guide https://github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt (used the openwrt image compiled by ihrapsa).

I bought an Ender 3 v2 for my son as a birthday a couple of weeks ago, it came with the Creality cloud box (as a free gift). The cloud box was promptly flashed to OpenWrt and Klipper installed using guidance from https://github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt.
