Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 4 Steps
Ready to light things up? We’ve got neopixel rings working with Klipper, and all the necessary files are right here for you. Follow along with this step-by-step guide—there’s even a shell script included to make things smoother. Let’s get those LEDs glowing!
Step 1
– Check out the wiring diagram to see how everything connects under the hood.
Step 2
– We’ve got a working solution for incorporating Arduino Neopixels with Klipper and it’s super easy to set up. First, SSH into your RPI. Run these commands:
– Change into the newly created neopixels_install directory
– Run the script for step 1 – it’s going to make your life easier
– When prompted, reboot your pi – don’t worry, it’s a quick restart
– Next, grab the necessary files by running: git clone https://github.com/armysolo/neopixels_in…
– Change into the neopixels_install directory
– Finally, run the script: sh neopixel_step_1.sh – you got this! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 3
– Hop back onto your RPI with SSH.
– Change directory to ‘neopixels_install’.
– Fire up the step 2 script.
– When it asks, pop in your sudo password.
– cd neopixels_install/
– sh neopixel_step_2.sh
Step 4
– Fire up the script for step 3 by running:
– sh neopixel_step_3.sh
– Heads up: you’ll have to pop in your sudo password twice—don’t worry, that’s normal.
– If your NeoPixels are already hooked up, get ready for some lights—they should start glowing!
