OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater VS klipper

After reading some more seems like you CAN do it, but I was either too scared or didn't know about it in Mid-2021

Firmware Updater Useful for flashing firmware to printer without having to use sd card. Frees up an sd card for me

I have 2 skr 1.4 turbo boards and before I switched to klipper I always updated my firmware using the firmware updater plug in for octoprint. On the github page it guided you through setup for that board family. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I followed the install instructions from this link. I installed the python 3 compatible version of heat shrink.

Method 3 (Through Octopi) - I installed Anaconda to download the firmware updater for Octopi found here (https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/) but cannot install it through the command line. I get "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.". Tried upgrading pip to no avail.

if you have an Raspberry pi you can try https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I'm not sure if this OctoPrint plug-in works with the neptune 2 but it's worth a shot. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

You need a plugin called Firmware Updater.

Only if you already have Binary File Trainsfer setting enabled in Marlin. So you might be stuck since that's not normally enabled. But when it is enabled, it does work. I only update via octoprint anymore. https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater/blob/master/doc/marlinbft.md

There is _a lot_ wrong with Marlin. It is a complex codebase, full with ancient artefacts, litterred with preprocessor ifdefs every 2-3 lines of code, dynamic includes in the middle of CPP files, etc[1]. It's about as unreadable as C++ code gets--well, I guess it's not template metaprogramming.

Klipper by contrast is a breeze to read through[2].

I am very grateful for Marlin, for all of reprap, and everyone who has contributed to it. But saying there is nothing wrong with it is straight up misguided.

That's the cfg from my photo https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-mks-sgenl.cfg Just confuses me more

If you have (like me) problems getting the auto reconnect solution mentioned on klipper https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/issues/835 running.

Did you check the printer cfg examples folder? Looks like there are a few BTT octopus cfg in there.

Compare your current printer.cfg with the master example here. https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/printer-creality-ender3-2018.cfg

I found scripts to handle this problem, like this here: https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/issues/847

Guys, I hope someone who has it could send me the printer.cfg of the Ender 3 V2 Neo, I found it here on github, but it seems that some things are out and don't work the right way. Thanks!
