Location of the BOOT Button The BOOT button is used when programming Klipper onto the Eddy for the first time; afterward, Klipper can automatically reprogram the RP2040. Note: Only Eddy V1.0 has the BOOT function; the button on Eddy Coil V1.0 is non-functional.
BIGTREETECH Eddy V1.0 User Manual 4. Installation Guide 4.1. Installation Height Install Eddy 2 to 3 mm above the nozzle to ensure optimal performance. If you encounter any errors during the calibration process, these may be related to Eddy's installation height. For solutions, please refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
BIGTREETECH Eddy V1.0 User Manual 4.3. Installation on Other Machines Brackets for various common machines are available in our GitHub repository and other popular model-sharing platforms. When installing Eddy, make sure the side with the PCB (the rear side) is positioned as far from the hotend as possible.
I C port on that toolboard which will depend on the pins for that board. If you are coming from the old BIGTREETECH branch of Klipper then we recommend using KIAUH to move back to the mainline branch. We also recommend updating the firmware on all of your Klipper devices so that it too is running on a binary compiled from mainline.

6.1. Now that you have the right firmware loaded onto your Eddy, it is time to complete the Klipper configuration. BIGTREETECH provides three different sample configuration files to get you going. You will need to decide which one suits your needs the best. Choose the file that works best for you based on the criteria below.

Take note that if you are using a KNOMI then there may be some macros that conflict with the macros in the KNOMI.cfg file.
7. Calibration 7.1. Drive Current Calibration With the firmware and configuration done, you are now ready to begin the Eddy's drive current calibration. 1. Place Eddy Approx. 20mm above the bed. If you plan to use the Eddy as an endstop then you will not yet be able to home with it and you will need to manually move the gantry or bed such that the Eddy is 20mm above the bed.

BIGTREETECH Eddy V1.0 User Manual 7.4. Temperature Compensation Calibration (Eddy USB ONLY) Important: The following steps are for Eddy USB Only. Eddy Coil doesn’t have temperature compensation so these steps should be disregarded. When Eddy performs temperature compensation, exercise caution, as the heated bed can reach extremely high temperatures.

TEMPERATURE_PROBE_COMPLETE - may be used to complete calibration before the TARGET has been reached.
BIGTREETECH Eddy V1.0 User Manual 8. Extra Info 8.1. Z-Offset This section only applies to those who are using the Eddy for homing. The Eddy should not need the use of a z-offset since it is calibrated to understand where z=0 is. Nevertheless, if you would like to use a z-offset then...
BIGTREETECH Eddy V1.0 User Manual The scan height must be sufficiently low to avoid scanning errors. Typically, a height of 2mm (ie: HORIZONTAL_MOVE_Z=2) should work well, presuming that the probe is mounted correctly. It should be noted that if the probe is more than 4mm above the surface then the results will be invalid.
BIGTREETECH Eddy V1.0 User Manual 9. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions 1. Sometimes I get Error during homing probe: Eddy current " sensor error " This generally indicates that the oscillator within the Eddy sensor is not • at a valid value before the probe/homing attempt starts. We recommend trying the following steps: 1) Double check your probe height.
