Ah, what a great video for the current Pi situation. I overpayed on ebay because I wasn't confident about the software part for the RPi alternatives, but this makes it easy for those of us who just need good instructions.
Watch out, don't interpret "success" videos like this one to mean that the orange pi is actually ready for prime-time or is able to generally replace the raspberry pi. It's not, and it can't. I just spent a week of frustration trying to get streaming video going over hdmi, on an orpi zero2. Big fail, video codec nightmare, quick solution was to fall back on the rpi, where video "just works". Try it: open file manager on your snazzy orange pi desktop, navigate to a video file, double click... and wonder how they can sell these! If you don't need what it can't do, as here, then goody for you. I don't see nearly enough warning out there about this years-long, still-not-solved issue.
My man this video is great. Appreciate you sharing the steps you have here. Thus far I have a btt M8P with a CB4 orange pi variant with 32gb of emmc memory and klipper and mainsale running off of it just fine. Thanks again for the links also.
You got my subscription when you said "Make sure you eject the SD card so that you don't corrupt it". Not only do you give correct, timely information but you understand it correctly and explain why that information is important. Truly a CC that is at least at my knowledge level, probably well beyond me. If you all stumbled on this video you really need to listen to this man and SUBSCRIBE! Edit: One suggestion I would make is to add chapters to your videos. Thanks again for the information.
Just to shorten and speed up the updating you can use: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y the && combines both update and upgrade into one line and the -y automatically says yes instead of waiting for you to say yes.
Nice to see another video using an orange pi. I just installed klipper, klipperscreen, and octoprint on my Orange Pi 3 LTS. I used an old 8-bit Creality to try this on. After a few issues like have to add a 5 second delay to crowsnest to get the camera to start up it seems to work. I don't care for this version of Octoprint though as the web camera does not work so I probably will not use it.
Congratulations on the content. I used this board in my old diy i3 (also with RAMPS), it worked great, unfortunately orangepi's GPIO uses different libraries than raspberry pi's, which makes the use of the GPIO by klipper a little bit tricky, in my case I chose to use the RAMPS auxiliary pins to use the ADXL sensor. Another cool option is to change the hostname so that it is easier to connect to mainsail through the browser without the need to use the SBC IP address.
i can get connect thru ssh and do all the installs and updates...but after i get the ip address and unplug it and try to login to via wifi....i can see it and asks for my user and pass...but when i put in my pass...nothing happens...just space.....nada....nothing......do i leave the usb card in? do i take it out?
Hi, i know it was year ago posted, but i would like to know if u colud successfully install rpi mcu on opi (so use gpio on orange pi). Besiedes running uart/i2c/spi from the gpio, as that part pretty much all of sbc can handle with klipper via drivers, i can't find any info regarding using orange pi gpio to drive directly stuff in the klipper.
Freaking thank you. I was reading into pi alternative and for some reason I didn't see anyone using Orange Pi Zero 2 and if I do see it, there's always an issue that goes along with it. Armbian is definitely a no go even for now but since the manufacturers have the debian image ig that one will work. h616 chipset is just a pain in the butt for a lot of people it seems.
Good timing! I'm about to order an Orange Pi for my first Voron build. I've been checking rPilocator for weeks, but the prospect of actually getting a Zero 2 W isn't quite worth the pain.
I'm running Klipper on a Le Potato. Same form factor as a Pi 3 and has an EMMC port. 4x USB2.0, 100MB ethernet and no WIFI. 2GB RAM for $40. add about $20 for a 16GB EMMC card and install Klipper using KIUAH.
@@alejandroperez5368 in my opinion, wifi bad. I'm in a wifi saturated area so I run Ethernet where possible. The potato only has 100mbps but then does it really need more than that for a klipper web UI?
Great video, but how do you use the gpio pins which are needed for the accelerometer calibration? Or do you use a USB accelerometer adxl345? I have yet to find a guide for the orange pi on how to setup an acceleromter.
Been running an orange pi 3 lts for about a year and it’s been perfect. About the same price as what Nero is using but more raspberry pi 4 form factor. I’m no raspberry pi genius, so, if I can do it anyone could.
Hey man, I followed your tutorial. Managed to get the klipper, moonraker and mainsail going but I cant get to the Ui via my web browser. The only difference is I'm using OrangePi3B insead of Zero 2. I'm sure klipper and moonraker is running because I can get to IP:7125. Its saying klipper is running and the page it self proves that moonraker is running. Would be cool if you could help figure this out
Thanks great video, all works but I want to use UART5 on th orangepi. Thats the standard pi out for the BTT Picoboard but dosnt work. Do you know what for serial device i need to use? Regards Tom
im downloading the debian bullseye server linux version 5.16.17 and every time i try and do anything with it it just says corrupt ? anyone getting this too?
Is it possible to use a monitor (connected via micro hdmi), a mouse and a keyboard ( connected via usb ) to set up wifi instead of using ethernet cable?
I recommended to install wiringop for orange and test UART before connecting who use UART, some times not working. The best way Orange Pi 3 LTS because have memory on board and cheap. The same time when you will connect adxl 345 on pi3 you need to manual activate cs pin via wiringOP gpio mode ALT2 15-pin number.For klipper screen BTT HDMI5 but waiting when they add HDMI with 90 degrees connectors
you are a genius, i already managed to start the orange pi pc with klipper on my ender 5 plus do you know how to configure the adxl345 accelerometer? I can't, thanks for any help
Did you use the same image linked in this video for your OPI PC? I'm stuck on the part where I try to connect on SSH. I already connected the ethernet port but it just could not connect.
Yes. You'll need to set a static IP for the connection on both sides. It's usually referred to as a peer to peer network. If you want to access the internet via your computer you'll need to setup routing on it.
For what it's worth, rather than the buck converter, you can plug it into the pi connector on the SKR Pico, just as you would a raspberry pi or BTT Pi 1.2.
Thnx Nero, I think with a little investigation this board can be used in combination with BTT Pico as you showed us in your YT video with the RPI Zero 2.
This SBC is heavily overpriced for is compute power. A better alternative is a used Thinkcenter M73 for CAD$100, if not lower, that will allow you to run kipper for 2 machines or more.
There making em as fast as they can, i mean think about it, they are losing money due to lost sales, why would they want that Problem is while they make the board, there limited to the supply of the broadcom chip (and others) thats whats limiting their production capacity IIRC
Diffferent CPU, the one on the RPI is much more in demands than the random variants used by other boards + theres a stupidly high demand for RPI`s for bulk purchases to run things like Kiosks and informations screens
Are you also going to look into the Android TV boxes as alternatives? Those can be had for under $40 and most come with wifi and an OS already installed. You just need to set up Python so you can then run Klipper.
Klipper on an orange pi zero works fine. I've been running it for a while now. The only drawback is that when using WiFi, it gets a new IP address every time you restart your opi zero

Did you ever get input shaper installed on this pi I am having a rough time with my orange pi 3 lts and am sorta stuck...
Having the same problem here, did you manage to get it running?
No I never did 😔 I just haven't had the time
This same channel has a video doing input shaper with a pi pico as the mcu, maybe that will do, I'll buy one of those to try@@Houdini.C
I want to use the regular octoprint on the orange pi. I down loaded it but could never get the camera to work?
i can get connect thru ssh and do all the installs and updates...but after i get the ip address and unplug it and try to login to via wifi....i can see it and asks for my user and pass...but when i put in my pass...nothing happens...just space.....nada....nothing......do i leave the usb card in? do i take it out?

Odair and Will already configured klipper on the orange pi zero 2 at least 6 months ago.
I would say 12mo ago :P

Oh thank you. I happen to have a brand new orang pi and a 1.4 I’ve never used and a printer that is well… proprietary until i rewire a new control.
With the new SV-06 Plus coming out do you think the built in touch screen will have the ability to be used for Klipper Screen?
Just what i need thanks!
Great video, but how do you use the gpio pins which are needed for the accelerometer calibration? Or do you use a USB accelerometer adxl345? I have yet to find a guide for the orange pi on how to setup an acceleromter.
Can you do a video on adding a touchscreen with Klipperscreen to this setup?

I want to flash it with original octoprint. Is there a way with orange pi 3&5?
Great video!
klipper != RPi
The p5 with the rock ship is amazing. But want regular octoprint.😢
I though you didn't like kiauh..It's nice to see you using.
I'm running a rock pi with klipper screen.
im downloading the debian bullseye server linux version 5.16.17 and every time i try and do anything with it it just says corrupt ? anyone getting this too?
Finally going to see Nero go for speed >:)
Is it possible to use a monitor (connected via micro hdmi), a mouse and a keyboard ( connected via usb ) to set up wifi instead of using ethernet cable?
Yes, of course

But what about BTT manta & CB1? CB1 with pi4 adapter is another option for a pi alternative.
That or a Mellow Fly Gemini.
thanks Nero
you are a genius, i already managed to start the orange pi pc with klipper on my ender 5 plus
do you know how to configure the adxl345 accelerometer?
I can't, thanks for any help
Did you use the same image linked in this video for your OPI PC? I'm stuck on the part where I try to connect on SSH. I already connected the ethernet port but it just could not connect.
I had to follow like 3 different guides to get mine to work.
If I don't have a wired network where I am setting up the printer, can I connect the Orange Pi to my laptop via ethernet to access it?
Yes. You'll need to set a static IP for the connection on both sides. It's usually referred to as a peer to peer network. If you want to access the internet via your computer you'll need to setup routing on it.
@@snives7166 Is there really no way to start using WIFI from the get go?
nmtui-connect will open the wifi list without having to go on armbian-config or orangepi-config
For what it's worth, rather than the buck converter, you can plug it into the pi connector on the SKR Pico, just as you would a raspberry pi or BTT Pi 1.2.
Good video as usual. Has anyone managed to use the gpio for stuff like uart connection or adxl?
Tried but no luck so far
Question, instead of using the add-on usb hat, could you just use a small "off the shelf" usb hub to turn the single into about 3-4 usable ports?
Some USB hub can be iffy, but that's an option
It should work fine, I used one to add ports and wired Ehernet to a Pi Zero.
Thnx Nero, I think with a little investigation this board can be used in combination with BTT Pico as you showed us in your YT video with the RPI Zero 2.
I wish I would've seen this before spending 300 on a handful of rpis
You probably can setup a script to automate most of the install
👌
I was sent here by twitter.
The mellow Fly-Pi is also great at $35. Also has some unique io and can run natively off 12v.
This SBC is heavily overpriced for is compute power.
A better alternative is a used Thinkcenter M73 for CAD$100, if not lower, that will allow you to run kipper for 2 machines or more.
honestly its a kick in the face to the entire maker community from the pi foundation
There making em as fast as they can, i mean think about it, they are losing money due to lost sales, why would they want that
Problem is while they make the board, there limited to the supply of the broadcom chip (and others) thats whats limiting their production capacity IIRC
Wtf is going on with the raspberry pi's anyway? Orange pi's can be manufactured so why can't the raspberry pi's?
Diffferent CPU, the one on the RPI is much more in demands than the random variants used by other boards + theres a stupidly high demand for RPI`s for bulk purchases to run things like Kiosks and informations screens
Are you also going to look into the Android TV boxes as alternatives? Those can be had for under $40 and most come with wifi and an OS already installed. You just need to set up Python so you can then run Klipper.
I've done it multiple times, they are a much more complete solution and run Arbian just fine. See my comment above.
i hope prices drop there crazy expensive are there cheaper ways
That's the whole point of the video....
Klipper on an orange pi zero works fine. I've been running it for a while now. The only drawback is that when using WiFi, it gets a new IP address every time you restart your opi zero
I think you can fix that
I reserved the ip in my router. So whenever it restarts, it will get the same ip.
thats the D in DHCP. lol it has nothing to do with the OPiZ
@@bobbydigital9323 By MAC? No need to do that. You can assign an IP that falls outside the DHCP range.
@Alejandro Pérez oh. I didn't know I could do that. Will have to try that
