Frequently Asked Questions

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!
