KlipperWrt VS KlipperScreen

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.

The project I'm trying to run is this one: https://github.com/jordanruthe/KlipperScreen, it's a plugin for a 3D printing firmware, to have a screen connected to a raspberry where the firmware runs.

That sounds like a Klipperscreen bug. You should probably report it.

It won’t work (at least I don’t think it will) with the built in screen but you can alway setup Klipperscreen

cp sample-android-adb.sh launch_KlipperScreen.sh and there was no error viola! Follow by this line : chmod +x launch_KlipperScreen.sh  And the : sudo reboot Then go to moonraker and enter: under [authorization]trusted_clients:  127.0.0.1 And also add in moorraker update script: [update_manager KlipperScreen] type: git_repo path: ~/KlipperScreen origin: https://github.com/jordanruthe/KlipperScreen.git env: ~/.KlipperScreen-env/bin/python requirements: scripts/KlipperScreen-requirements.txt install_script: scripts/KlipperScreen-install.sh hit save and reboot   Using pixel 2 us a touch screen! Everything is working fine so far!

Fluidd and Mainsail are frontends for Moonraker. Moonraker is an API server for Klipper. There are other frontends for Moonraker too, such as KlipperScreen.
