KlipperZero

A Raspberry PI Zero 2 based expansion board that simplifies connecting peripherals to the I/O. Mainly designed with a Klipper host in mind.

To-Do tracking:

  • Add JLC specific fabrication requirements:
    • Silkscreen for QR code
    • Holes for tooling
    • ...
  • Panelize design
  • Mounting holes
  • Silkscreen art
  • ...

Features

  • 1x UART breakout port for integration with printer mainboards
  • 4x I2C breakout ports on primary I2C interface (screen, imu, ...)
  • 2x SPI breakout ports on primary SPI interface (screen, imu, ...)
  • 2x PWM comtrolled 5V fan header (2 pin) with snubber diode for protection
  • Fused power input

Questions

How big is the Klipperzero PCB?

It measures 77 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Klipperzero use?

31 parts, built around the ME6211C33M5G-N, 1N5819WS and BSS138. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Klipperzero KiCad files?

From the Vyolex/klipperzero repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KlipperZero.kicad_pcb and its schematic KlipperZero.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Klipperzero design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Vyolex before reusing the design.
