How to connect to Klipper

Hi,
I'm new to this software and stuck during the setup.
So maybe someone with a bit more knowledge could please help me quick.
My printer is an Ender 3 with Klipper Firmware and a Prusa head. I simply bought the software and was pretty sure that there won't be a problem with the network connection. I already tried to forward the virtual serial /tmp/printer connection to a tcp port, but I could not find a way access this via S3D.

Thanks in advance,
Magoo

Re: How to connect to Klipper

Hey there,

had the same problem and looked for klipper on how to access klipper from remote. In fact, there doesn't seem to exist build in function yet. Anyway I found this Post: https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/issues/2154
Using this i just logged in on my klipper Raspi and tried it.

Used Commands:
sudo apt-get install socat
socat -d -d open:/tmp/printer tcp-l:3000,nodelay

pressing ctrl-z and run the command bg is pushing this command in the background. Alternatively it should be possible to just add a & at the end of the command like so:

socat -d -d open:/tmp/printer tcp-l:3000,nodelay&

But i havent tried that.
After that i went to Simplify 3d and tried to access the board via manual config and could directly connect to the Voron.

As i having an print running right now, i will wait till its finished before I go on trying other stuff.. or try to autorun the socat command on startup.

Hope this helps..

Greetings Andreas
