Required Hardware
KlipperScreen should run on any HDMI touchscreen that you can connect to a computer. The required video driver may be slightly different depending on what model you get. I am developing on a 1024x600 resolution screen. Due to this, other resolutions may not be scaled properly at this moment. UI scaling is a future development item.
Configure Hardware
Add the following to /boot/config.txt. You can alter the hdmi_cvt to your screen specifications. This example is setup for a resolution of 1024x600 and a refresh rate of 60hz.
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=2
- Development has been using 1024x600 for a screen resolution. Other resolutions may have issues currently
After changing /boot/config.txt you must reboot your raspberry pi. Please also ensure you followed setting up your screen via the screen instructions. This will likely have a xorg.conf.d file for input from the touchscreen that you need to create.
Installation
Follow the instructions to install klipper and moonraker. klipper: https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/ moonraker: https://github.com/Arksine/moonraker
Ensure that 127.0.0.1 is a trusted client for moonraker, such as in this example:
[authorization]
trusted_clients:
127.0.0.1
For moonraker, ensure that 127.0.0.1 is a trusted client:
Run scripts/KlipperScreen-install.sh This script will install packages that are listed under manual install, create a python virtual environment at ${HOME}/.KlipperScreen-env and install a systemd service file.
As an option to do development or interact with KlipperScreen from your computer, you may install tigervnc-scraping-server and VNC to your pi instance. Follow tigervnc server setup procedures for details on how to do that.
