@Liace159 Год назад

Thx for that full moto x splash screen animation. The good old memories when Android was still exiting ❤️

@MarcelHuguenin 8 месяцев назад

Thank you very much, great video and after seeing this, I actually thought of a very old Android tablet I had somewhere lying around and hoping it would be 4.x.x and it was! The steps you showed were exactly right, very accurate. So right now this totally obsolete el cheapo tablet is working perfectly as my Klipperscreen. Thanks again for making this video!

@CrimsonRepair 7 месяцев назад

Glad I could help!

@manu7irl Год назад

Nice but now there's a builtin method to do the same but without adb, directly streaming the xserver from klipperscreen to the smartphone via wifi, not cable needed. The guide is available in the klipperscreen documentation.

@CrimsonRepair Год назад

I've also done the setup for wifi before, but didn't find much use for it since you'd want your phone plugged in anyways to charge, or in my case remove the battery so it runs entirely off the USB power and turns on/off with the printer.

@3dpartner Год назад

@@CrimsonRepair the usecase is there if you have multiple printers, so you can change the phone regarding your printer and just add a usb power cable to the smartphone. anyway good guide, i looked for the display 3 trick.

@home-dp6oh Год назад

This would be my preferred way of doing it since I don't want to plug anything else into my Pi that draws power from it. I could instead leave the phone plugged into its own power source. I haven't located the guide you mentioned explaining specifically how to forward the xserver via wifi. I viewed the link mentioned but couldn't see where it explained it. Any suggestions?

@rasa6814 Год назад

@@CrimsonRepair same here. Another thing to mention. If your wifi is down there's no way to stop a failed/aborted print. Cable is always the best choice for the reliability.

I'm glad there's always ways to breath new life into my old devices. I have about 5 old smartphones, 2 of which get regular use but the other 3 are just collecting dust. I was thinking about installing OctoPrint on one of them but now that I see we can use Klipper on it I am most definitely gonna do this intead.

Small addition to the topic: my OneplusOne was not working with the retail version. I had to sideload the older app version (XServer-XSDL-1.11.40). That solved everything immediately.

@DrPersonman 2 месяца назад

Really damn cool! Thanks for this! The apps weren't on the app store anymore but APK pure had them, I now don't have to keep looking for a narrow screen to shove on my FLSun SR! My old HTC m9 is almost exactly the right size for the top portion! Plus, it's a much better screen than most of those little screens and way cheaper than getting a nice little touchscreen!

I have am not able to get the killperscreen to come up. When I connect my phone to my Pi and enable USB debugging I do not get the popup for the RSA key. I am also not getting xserver to auto open.

@tekeguy68 5 месяцев назад

bro---this was exactly what I was looking for. I just put Klipper back (tried and gave up once) on a RPI I've had laying around for a couple years and bought one of the 3.5" GPIO screens. It worked fine but I wanted something bigger once I got it running well. I almost bought a new screen when I realized I have some old 10" lenovo tabs sitting around. Got it up and running in no time and stays charged when connected---which I was concerned about.

@harryanderson3527 Год назад

Thanks for a great tutorial video on how to get this setup. I am using an HTC One on Android 7 and when it is working it is beautiful! Much better than the Ender 3 S1 Pro touchscreen which I had to toss on the shelf for Klipper. I have a couple of glitches that I hope you can help solve. In booting the Thin Client, I have to manually press the power button and boot the phone. Autostart is installed and configured, but doesn't launch XSDL, so I have to launch that. Then XSDL usually stays on the blue screen and sometimes Klipperscreen will start but mostly not. If I unplug and replug the USB, Android asks if I want to use USB for file transfers, so I answer Yes. Then in a minute or 2 Klipperscreen pops up, or maybe not. Klipperscreen Restart within Fluidd doesn't fix it. Is there some way to cause Klipperscreen to load without unplug/replug the USB?

@joeg2577 Год назад

Why not run Klipper straight from that phone with a OTG cable? (like Octo4A) if a device can run Octoprint, it can also run Klipper... The battery can be modified with a BMS USB board

How to force android screen to turn off after specified time without touch ? xServer seems to block the automatic screen off function. Edit: I used app "app off timer" and set "off timer to 10min". "waiting time to 0" for the xserver app. The screen will go back to android homepage after specified time (10m) and waiting additional extra time in android screen settings (15s) Then you can launch the xServer klipperscreen in few tap's (after 0s) again if needed.

My phone doesn't have a battery. Is there a way I can power it up from printer when I turn printer on and it also automatically boot the phone

@CrimsonRepair Год назад

Its entirely dependent on the phone to whether you can use it directly from USB without a battery or not. The Moto E phones I use were taken apart to remove the battery, and then I soldered a wire from the USB 5v pin directly to the positive battery terminal. The phone senses the voltage and thinks the battery is installed, and lets the phone boot. Also the Moto E phones are built to automatically boot as soon as they're plugged into a computer so it boots with the printer.

I'm not sure about this. I usually run Klipper on a single device for each printer, rather than using multiple instances on a single device.
