How do I use my cartographer for input shaping?

Note

For Simple AF for RPI series you might need to add a [resonance_tester] and [adxl345] section to get this working, because many base printers dont have any input shaper defined!

This just needs a few changes in printer.cfg

You need to modify the [adxl345] section

Change the cs_pin from nozzle_mcu:PA4 to cartographer:PA3 (V3 Probe) or cartographer:PA0 (V4 Probe)

Danger

On V4 Cartographer Probe cartographer:PA3 is not the right pin, you must use cartographer:PA0! PA3 on V4 is used for something else, and will cause a potential boot loop of the probe.

Note

If you are using the cartotouch on Simple AF, replace cartographer: with scanner: in the configuration!

Then disable the following settings:

  • spi_speed: 5000000
  • spi_software_sclk_pin: nozzle_mcu:PA5
  • spi_software_mosi_pin: nozzle_mcu:PA7
  • spi_software_miso_pin: nozzle_mcu:PA6

And add the following settings:

  • spi_bus: spi1
  • axes_map: x, y, z

So your [adxl345] should look like:

[adxl345]
#cs_pin: nozzle_mcu:PA4
cs_pin: cartographer:PA3 or cartographer:PA0
spi_bus: spi1
#spi_speed: 5000000
axes_map: x, y, z
#spi_software_sclk_pin: nozzle_mcu:PA5
#spi_software_mosi_pin: nozzle_mcu:PA7
#spi_software_miso_pin: nozzle_mcu:PA6

I do not know if this is a good idea, I just know it's possible!

How do I downgrade the cartographer3d-plugin?

If you have upgraded to latest via fluidd / mainsail and are concerned the latest plugin has introduced an issue and you would like to downgrade you can, but you will need to do this via ssh and the command differs depending on whether you are on K1 or RPI series

Login to the printer via ssh, and for example to downgrade to 1.6.0:

/usr/share/klippy-env/bin/pip install 'cartographer3d-plugin==1.6.0'

~/klippy-env/bin/pip install 'cartographer3d-plugin==1.6.0'
