Klipper in a duet2 wifi

[apak]

It’s been ages since I instaled klipper but I found some resources. Some are in spanish but I guess they are not to hard to understand

Just coming here to say that this method still works for a Duet 2 Maestro, but a couple things:

• Buster is so old you have to set apt-get to allow for 'oldoldstable' software, quick google search got me running
• Buster is still very much a hard requirement, I tried on newer Rasbpian Lite and it did NOT work, device doesn't even appear in lsusb. It looks like the specific bug is that the device doesn't enumerate correctly, but as long as it's still in USB bootloader mode (you can check this on another linux system and it should say 'Atmel Samba USB Bootloader' or something like it
• The Duet2 Maestro uses a SAM4S8C, make sure you pick the right MCU in the 'make menuconfig' step (also don't capitalize make)
• This was my first experience with Klipper and I'm not thrilled running into this bug, but I'm also aware I probably would have had less issues with a controlboard that hasn't been obsolete for 5 years

now to learn how the heck to use Klipper, but thank you for posting this!

I think I have come up with a more reliable solution than anything mentioned here:

I created a Debian v10.13.0 VM in virtualbox (no idea if the version/distro matters, this just seemed the safest)
Connected my duet 2 to my PC
Installed kiauh/klipper on the VM
Enabled the USB device associated with my duet in virtualbox (forgot what it appeared as)
Flashed klipper onto the duet using the normal menu in kiauh
Hooked the Duet back to the Pi and viola, it works fine

After a couple days of bashing my head, making no progress I finally came up with this method which worked with minimal effort. Only other thing I could think of is that I needed to replace my Pi 3A+ with a Pi 3B or Pi 4, and I was going to "borrow" one from Amazon before I thought of using a VM. 

Now I just got to reflash my Pi (the debian 10 os I used isn't particularly stable), get my paneldue working, figure out how to get a few other things ironed out in my config and my first Klipperized printer will be off to the races.
