#Installing Klipper on the Printrbot Simple Pro
##There are two ways to do this, I’m trying to make it easier by providing a raspberry pi image but you can do it whichever way works for you.
Klipper Documentation: https://www.klipper3d.org/Overview.html
Option 1 Step by Step Guide starting from a fresh install of octoprint. https://sway.office.com/HQUIbvHI9o3DHjLQ?ref=Link
Option 2 Pre-made raspberry pi image
##What you will need:
-
Single Board Computer
Minimum requirements: Raspberry Pi 2, 3 or Generic Quad Core SBC. (It’s also possible to run Klipper on an x86 based computer with Linux) 2. 16Gb Micro SD Card for Raspberry Pi Image 3. HDD-RAW-Copy-Tool 4. Bitvise SSH Client
Raspberry Pi Credentials SSH username: pi password: klipperbot Octoprint Login: printrbot/printrbot

Step 1
Plug your simple pro into the raspberry pi and turn everything on. Connect to the printer via SSH and run the following commands:
cd klipper git pull sudo service klipper stop
ls /dev/serial/by-id/* Copy the output and paste it to the end of this command
make flash FLASH_DEVICE=
So that it looks similar to this: make flash FLASH_DEVICE=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Synthetos_TinyG_v2_021303215d0403-if00
sudo service klipper start
After flashing completes and you have started klipper, power cycle the simple pro by turning it off for 10 seconds and back on.
Step 2
Proceed to octoprint and click on the Klipper tab. You should get ready status, if you have any issues click Firmware Restart, if that doesn’t help try restarting the system from the main power menu.
Step 3
