These Instructions are for BigTreeTech OCTOPUS boards (V1 & Pro) with the U2C CAN bus

adaptor. These instructions also provide setup and connections for one EBB
device connected to the U2C.

Make sure before starting these instructions, that your RPi Klipper software is up-to-date and that you have installed CanBoot on your RPi
[https://github.com/Arksine/CanBoot].

 No power to Octopus or EBB during wiring up, everything wired up like shown. CAN-L goes to CAN-L and CAN-H goes to CAN-H. Vin needs to be +24V.

 EBB; Remove the USB-C power jumper

and place it on the 120-ohm header.

header, so the CAN bus is terminated correctly.


A CAN bus UUID (Universal Unique Identifier) is a
128-bit value used to uniquely identify a device
on the CAN bus.

The one showing Application: Klipper will be your Octopus UUID on the CAN bus.
The one showing Application: CanBoot will be your EBB UUID on the CAN bus.
7.
 Now we are going to flash Klipper on to your EBB via the CAN bus.
8.
 python3 ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -u <your EBB UUID>

12.
 In your printer.cfg for your [mcu] you need to comment out serial: by adding a # in front like this: #serial:
13. Add this just under that line:
 #serial:
canbus_uuid: <Your Octopus boards UUID>

Example of mine:
[mcu]
# serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper_stm32f446xx_0E002B00135053424E363620-if00
canbus_uuid: aeaf2605a153
14.
 Save your printer.cfg
15. Download the example cfg for your EBB. Transfer that file to your RPi klipper configurations folder.
 Make the same kind of change to that file (but the UUID for your EBB) and save.
16. Edit you printer.cfg and add this line to the top
 [include
Paste the file name for the EBB cfg file then type ]
Example of mine would be: [include sample-bigtreetech-ebb-sb-canbus-v1.0.cfg]
17.
 Save the file and restart Klipper.
