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?

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 Жыл бұрын
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.

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?

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.

Can you make a small guide how would you do it while using octoprint? I have octoprint img and used it with marlin for around 2 years. 1 month ago I changed to Klipper using the official guide. I would like to keep using octoprint but as for my first try using your guide and trying to install moonraker and so on I briked my installation and had to install klipper again. Maybe you know how to use Klipperscreen without having to use the kiauh script. When I use the kiauh it says my original Octoprint and Klipper installations are incomplete but they are working ...

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.

There are IP Webcam apps out there for Android. I use one for some of my electronics repair streams, but as far as I know, you can't run them in the background, they have to be the forefront application, so you wouldn't be able to stream the camera and display Klipperscreen at the same time.

There is always the option of using Octo4a instead of the methodology in the video to get the controls and camera function at the same time. Some people believe it's easier than the method he used and some say it's a bit more involved. Regardless, it would do what you want and then have other functions.

@CrimsonRepair Жыл бұрын
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.
