Is it possible to use Repetier-host with Klipper firmware ?

Hi,

I'm trying to connect Repetier-host with Klipper firmware for tests. Both are installed under the latest version of Debian Stretch.
Repetier-host and klipper seems to work fine, klipper service is running.

I have configured printer connection like this :


But in printer tab, Klipper doesn't exist in firmware type list.



I have check permissions for tty group and it's normally ok.

But when i try to connect Repetier-host to klipper, this doesn't work.
What can be the causes of this problem?

Thanks.

Seki

    You can use Marlin as firmware for Klipper. But you will not be able to use the non gcode commands I guess. What you read about prefixing # only works for server. What should be no problem is if you use Repetier-Server for connection and in Host select the Repetier-Server connector instead of serial connector.

    I can't change firmware type from autoselect to malin in printer configuration, and don't no why.

    Thanks.

    You are right. Testing myself also prevents it. Have to check why. The server solution should work none the less.

    OK, Thanks.
    Are non-gcode commands functional with the server solution ? 
    If not, any chance to see Klipper integration like other firmwares (Marlin, Smoothieware.. )?

    In server prepend command with # and you can send anything 1:1 including server commands.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your responses.
    I have configured Repetier server like this.

    If i use /tmp/printer in device port, Repetier never connect to Klipper.
    If i use /dev/pts/0, Repetier connects to Klipper, then disconnects, reconnects, and so on.

    Did i miss something?

    I always used /tmp/printer but you need a recent klipper version - older versions did not set right permissions to that file. Maybe you have that problem? Speed should not matter as it is only a pipe.

    Did you test if klipper it self works correctly? I mean uploaded firmware to board, connection works an dit connects fine.
