Klipper on the BIQU BX V3

NOTE: If you have a V2 board/screen(HDMI),click here

First, a few requirements:

1. You need Klipper setup on your Raspberry PI ( borad that support DSI) with your favorite control interface (Octoprint, Fluidd, Mainsail, etc..).
   • I recommend installing official Raspberry Pi OS
     • Download this file https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_armhf/images/raspios_armhf-2023-05-03/2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img.xz and use the Raspberry Pi Installer and select custom image.
2. Install the Drivers for V3 screen https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIQU-BX/tree/master/Firmware/RPi-Linux-RPi-7inch-DSI
3. You need your favorite Touchscreen UI installed (unless you just want to run headless).
   • Use this to install all you need https://github.com/dw-0/kiauh
     • If you have a issue with the screen is black, press the smal button under the turn knob
4. You MUST have removed the Z endstop physical switch. Not disconnected, but completely removed.

NOTE: CAN will not work on this board due to a hardware mis-configuration
NOTE: I2C is not quite working yet!

Ok, so let's get started.

Klipper firmware configuration

When configuring the klipper firmware to run on the BTT SKR SE BX board, there are a couple things to know about.

1. Use the main klipper branch.
2. In order for the toucscreen to work, you will need to set GPIO pins PB5 and PE5 to an initial state during the config
3. Use the config/printer-biqu-bx-2021.cfg file for your intial printer.cfg
4. Once you are setup, you will need to calibrate your sensorless homing: https://www.klipper3d.org/TMC_Drivers.html?h=sensorless+ho#sensorless-homing

A note on connection methods:

There are 4 different connections you can make from the Raspberry Pi to the mainboard, 2 Serial and 2 USB.

• Serial (on UART4 PA0/PA1) <--- For v3 board/screen you need to use this

To use serial connections, you have to enable the serial port on the raspberry pi and compile the correct serial port for the BX mainboard. Once you have the serial port enabled on the raspberry pi, it will show up as /dev/ttyAMAx, with x being the port number.

Once you have it setup, your printer.cfg should then contain the following under the MCU section: serial: /dev/ttyAMAx, substituting the x for your port number.

HDMI configuration

As v3 uses DSI you don't need any HDMI settings

Drivers for V3 screen

• Go to and follow the guide https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIQU-BX/tree/master/Firmware/RPi-Linux-RPi-7inch-DSI

Config.txt

Example on /boot/config.txt

Make sure this are in the config.txt file, some wil be added by the drivers installation skript.

Slicer configuration

For your slicer, you need to call the PRINT_START macro instead of any preliminary gcode. The NOZZLE and BED temps get passed in as arguments. Some examples for the more popular slicers:

• Cura: PRINT_START BED={material_bed_temperature_layer_0} NOZZLE={material_print_temperature_layer_0}
• PrusaSlicer: PRINT_START NOZZLE=[first_layer_temperature] BED=[bed_temperature]
• Ideamaker: PRINT_START NOZZLE={temperature_heatbed} BED={temperature_extruder1}
• Simplify3D: PRINT_START NOZZLE=[extruder0_temperature] BED=[bed0_temperature]
• Kiri:Moto: PRINT_START NOZZLE={temp} BED={bed_temp}

Klipper Functionality

Here are some notes on how I have Klipper setup and working quite well for my machine.

Touchscreen Sleep

The Touchscreen will go dark when the printer idle timeout occurs. This happens when there is not a print job in action and currently set for 5 minutes. Pressing the Menu Knob on the display will wake up the Touchscreen.

LEDS

The Neopixels are setup and will cycle through colors on bootup. I have the idle timeout set to shut off the LEDS when the printer is inactive. The LEDs automatically come on when a print is started or when the LCD is wakened.

Homing Routine

I have programmed a reliable homing routine that works well for me, however you can adjust or setup your own to taste. My routine will do the following:

1. Raise the Z axis
2. Home the X axis
3. Home the Y axis
4. Move the probe to the center of the bed (different than the nozzle at center)
5. Home the Z with the probe.

• When starting a print, additionally:

6. After the bed reaches temp, the printer waits for 90 seconds with the probe close to the bed to warm up the probe.
7. Steps 1-5 are repeated with a warm probe
8. Move to the origin to start the print.

I am now able to connect to the MCU using using pin 6-8-10 of the PI and the TFT pins of the SKR-SE-BX-V3.0 (crossing Rx and Tx).
The TFT display is useless (just to confirm that the MCU is flashed correctly).

Strange that you need to do that.
Well it's not the best screen. I have issue that it's all white until it's "warm"

I had problem connecting to the printer even after following the step described. My settings are the original as varazir adviced. After some research i found that my problem was fixed after removing the section "console=serial0,11520" from '/boot/cmdline.txt' with a text editor.
Now i am able to see the printer using

Hello everyone,

I have recently acquired this printer and "reverse engineered" the modified drivers.

The device tries to present an interface similar to the official RPi 800x480 7" touchscreen, but it's larger and weirder. The display panel can actually be declared as a "panel-dpi" and there's no need to add it to the simple panel driver (and that works even in mainline Linux).

Tthe touchscreen works as a "edt,edt-ft5506"… sort of. First of all, only the raspberrypi/linux version of the driver has the necessary polling mode support for now. Then, the hardware nonsense here: the coordinates wrap around weirdly beyond the 800x480 rectangle, so the modified edt-ft5x06 driver they compiled includes a quirk to handle that.

The DT overlay is just this:

dtso source, compile like so: `dtc -O dtb -@ -L biqu-bx.dtso >biqu-bx.dtbo`, USE WITH `dtovelay=upstream` (even with the rpi kernel), I'll try to make a non-upstream overlay too

I'll… look into sending a PR to the raspberrypi kernel I guess? But this is such a strange quirk, I'm not sure how to even generalize it (something like btt,touchscreen-relative-wraparound-x = <800 1024>; btt,touchscreen-relative-wraparound-y = <480 600>; ???)

@valpackett can this be scripted? Just to make it easier for most using this printer ?

Hi everyone!

I have a BIQU BX with a V3 board and a Raspberry Pi 3B+, currently running Marlin with OctoPrint since 2023. I'm planning to switch to Klipper and, after thoroughly reviewing the documentation, I feel confident about the process.

However, I’d like to ensure I have a rollback option in case something goes wrong. Does anyone know if the binary available in the following repository is compatible with the V3 board?

🔗 https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIQU-BX/tree/master/Firmware/Copy%20to%20microSD%20to%20update

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Rollbacks would to have the the old firmware and use a new sdcard for your klipper.

That's exactly the problem: I'm not sure if the firmware available in the BIGTREETECH repository is the V3 version that's compatible with my printer.

It worked! I followed the instructions and now Klipper is installed on my printer.

Thanks a lot for your help!

You can use the community version.

Hi everyone!

I managed to install Klipper and set everything up, but I'm still not satisfied with the print quality. I'm getting an accelerometer to enable input shaping and see if that improves the results.

I also miss having a working filament change macro. I haven’t been able to create one that works as well as what I had with Marlin. On top of that, I'm getting overheating errors on the Z-axis drivers:

TMC 'stepper_z' reports error: DRV_STATUS: c0170103 otpw=1 (OvertempWarning!) ot=1 (OvertempError!) t120=1 cs_actual=23 stealth=1 stst=1

Can anyone help me properly set up sensorless homing for the Z axis? Also, is it necessary to physically jumper the DIAG pin to PB13 on the board for this to work? If so, could someone explain exactly where those pins are located on the Biqu BX and how to wire them?

If anyone could share their printer.cfg, it would be really helpful so I can compare and see what I can improve in my setup.

I really appreciate any help!

Now that I've noticed, the 5020 fan on the board isn't turning on.

Any tips?

Now that I've noticed, the 5020 fan on the board isn't turning on.

it should be on when you start printing.
I guess you can map the port in the config.

After a thorough check of the wiring diagram, comparing my settings to yours, and even swapping out the fan port and testing with another 24V fan, I finally pinpointed the problem: the 5020 fan had died. I'm still unsure if it was an existing issue that Marlin simply didn't report, or if something went wrong during the Klipper migration. A new fan is already on its way. I appreciate your patience throughout this process.

Hello,

I encountered a similar issue before. I recommend checking the contents of the /boot/cmdline.txt file.

Before making any changes, create a backup of the file:

sudo cp /boot/cmdline.txt /boot/cmdline.txt.bak

Then, open the file for editing:

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

If the line looks something like this:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=ea30a571-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles cfg80211.ieee80211_regdom=BR

Remove the console=serial0,115200 parameter, keeping the rest of the line unchanged. This can help avoid conflicts with the default serial output.

After saving the changes, reboot the system to apply them:

sudo reboot

Thank you, I was looking for some filament loading and unloading macros

Thanks for help out, I haven't used my BX for almost a year now. I bought a Bambulab A1 and both my Wanhao and BX printer started to collect dust so I moved them to the attic storage.

Thanks for help out, I haven't used my BX for almost a year now. I bought a Bambulab A1 and both my Wanhao and BX printer started to collect dust so I moved them to the attic storage.

Kind of sad to see those machines sitting idle, especially knowing what the BX is capable of! But I totally get it, the Bambulab A1 really makes everything so much easier. I still keep my old printers up and running; each one has its strengths and is useful for certain types of prints. Who knows, maybe one day the urge will come back to fire up the old veterans and get them running again.
