Working on getting Klipper up and running on Trigorilla_Pro_A_V1.0.4

Klipper for AnyCubic Kobra Trigorilla_Pro_A_V1.0.4

Code repository: https://github.com/SteveGotthardt/klipper

Status: move r65 to r66 for TMC control

Attaching to target via P4 with SAM-ICE

physical connection: Atmel SAM-ICE 20 pin jumpered to P4

• P4: Pin 1 -> ICE Pin 1 = VTref
• P4: Pin 2 -> ICE Pin 20 = GND
• P4: Pin 3 -> ICE Pin 7 = TMS (used by SWD)
• P4: Pin 4 -> ICE Pin 9 = TCK
• P4: Pin 5 -> ICE Pin 15 = RESET

running J-link commander

• Device: Cortex-M4
• Target Interface: SWD
• Interface Speed: 2000 KHz

finding stuff with J-Mem

• VTOR is at 0xE000ED08
• which shows vector table start now at 0x8000 (was 0x0 at boot)
• which shows stack pointer at 0x20008D10 and reset at 0x82A1 - this is for program that shipped with my board

What is the clock running at:

PLL config @ 0x40054100 CMU_PLLCFGR = 0x1110_3100 (reset is 0x1110_1300)

So it looks like 8MHz XTAL * 50 / 2 is 200MHz system clock

• MPLLM[0:4] = 0, divide by 1
• PLLSRC = 0, XTAL selected (8MHz)
• MPLLN[8:0] = 0x031, mult x 50
• MPLLR[3:0] = 1, divide by 2
• MPLLQ[3:0] = 1, divide by 2
• MPLLP[3:0] = 1, divide by 2

XTAL selection: 0x40054032 CMU_XTALCR = 0, oscillates

XTAL configure: 0x40054410 CMU_XTALCFGR = 0, high-drive, not ultra, oscillates

Clock division of 200MHz system clock

• CMU_SCFGR @ 0x40054020 32 bits after boot: 0x00242210
• PCLK0: divide by 1
• PCLK1: divide by 2
• PCLK2: divide by 4
• PCLK3: divide by 4
• PCLK4: divide by 16
• EXCKS: divide by 4
• HCLKS: divide by 1

TMC UART address mapping

• Z: [10] MS1_AD0 is resistor to GND, MS2_AD1 tied to VCC
  • so Z can be addressed with [10] or [11] without trace-cutting
• Y: [01] MS1_AD0 is tied to VCC, MS2_AD1 is resistor to GND
  • so Y can be addressed with [01] or [11] without trace-cutting
• X: [00] MS1_AD0 and MS_AD1 tied together through resistor to GND
  • so X can be [00] (R65 placed) or [11] (R66 placed)

Fix addressing (no trace cutting, just move resistors):

• remap X address to [11] by moving R65 to R66 (VCC) - TESTED - works!

Extruder driver on my board is MS35775, a 2208 clone

@SteveGotthardt
---> Hi Stev, yes I have already written to him (thanks) but I don't think he knows why either.... he recommended your KLIPPER firmware flash version.... so it can't be that or... .. (Thanks in advance)

@SteveGotthardt Just want to say thank you for youre work! I used the fitst release firmware until it was merged and my kobra works great thanks to you!

este usuario lo ha conseguido, he soldado y copiado el printer.cfg y todo va de lujo

The precompiled firmware runs very well. Thanks a lot!

This is my first 3D printer and I'm just starting to get the hang of it.
Can you please tell me if I just re-solder the extruder driver chip to a tmc2209, do I need to change anything other than
#define E0_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2209?
If I use the Marlin firmware.

Thank you for your work! Works great with my printer, I do want to ask if I can connect using the PI GPIO pins/UART rather than USB, are there header pins in the Trigorilla_Pro_A_V1.0.4 or maybe even points i can solder to directly connect to. Id like to hide my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W inside the the MCU enclosure.

@SteveGotthardt I think the best way for this is just solder usb data wires to the board underneath?

@aiden0rchad
That should work. And,of course, a common ground between the boards.

Will the piZ2W have a hard time communicating over WiFi when enclosed? Maybe use a plastic cover?

@SteveGotthardt It shouldn't have issues with WiFi, if there is it should be very negligible. The plastic ABS MCU enclosure should affect the signals at all. Maybe if I have the PiZ2W right next to the 2020 aluminum, then maybe it might. But there's ways around it. You can add a U.FL connector to the PiZ2W which you can attach a Flex WiFi antenna or convert it to SMA to attach a standard SMA WiFi antenna.

@SteveGotthardt My cable from motherboard to extruder broke. I was trying to repair it, but I lost extruder connector... Do you maybe have pinout for this cable? From motherboard to extruder?

@exdablju - I do not have a pinout for that cable - I only have the mainboard (no printer)

Hello good sir, I managed to desolder the solder pads to both R66 and R65 so I scraped the surface on the motherboard and solder like this instead (marked in blue)

and when I try to measure continuity between the solder pad and the PCB copper line (marked in green) there is continuity, but Klipper spits out
"Unable to read tmc uart 'stepper_x' register IFCNT"

So I wonder if there is another point on the board I can measure continuity from or re solder a wire...

EDIT:
Also measured from the "left" solder pad to the pin on the driver/chip itself, third one down (where my red line is) and there is continuity between them.

EDIT2: I also have continuity between pin 64 (VCC) on the HC32F460 to pin 3. Is my error completely firmware related? 🤔

EDIT3: For anyone with same (hopefully not) is just solder R65 instead and used https://github.com/printers-for-people/catboat

EDIT3: For anyone with same (hopefully not) is just solder R66 instead and used https://github.com/printers-for-people/catboat

Bro, I've encountered the same problem. I can't do anything about it... no config helps. When the X axis starts moving, it sometimes goes to the home position, but most often it just gives the same error...

Your last link doesn't work, can you help me find a solution to this problem?

Seems like i broke the hyperlink,

Just make sure to resolder the resistor/wire to R65.

Edit: i mixed up R65 and R66 in previous comments, Ive changed them so anyone else dont get confused. Its R65 that has to be soldered when using Catboat project.

Found it, thanks)

Have you found out what the reason is?
What exactly is the problem?

I mean, it's definitely the control board, but which element is causing such problems?

I mean, it's definitely the control board, but which element is causing such problems?

I've have no clue, i dont have that much knowledge in these electronics..

Has anyone had success in installing a BLTouch on the Kobra Max with this board? I wired servo to PB12 and sensor to PB12 but as soon as the firmware restarts, the probe deploys and stows continuously and it always reads as open.
