Software guide
Your lemontron will run Mainsail OS on a Raspberry Pi. You’ll install the operating system, configure SSH and WiFi settings, and update the system. Then, we’ll guide you through flashing the firmware on your SKR Pico board and finalizing the setup on your Raspberry Pi.
Begin by downloading the latest configuration files and firmware:
Burn an OS onto your MicroSD
Burn Mainsail OS via Raspberry-Pi-Imager. Make sure you configure your SSH key and WiFi settings so that you can SSH as soon as it powers up.
SSH into the Raspberry Pi and bring the OS up-to-date:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Flash the SKR Pico
- Apply the jumper to the
BOOT
pins on the SKR Pico (located in the center, under the “TE” in “BIGTREETECH”). - Hold down the
BOOT
button on the SKR Pico and connect the SKR Pico to your computer over USB-C. - Drag the klipper.uf2 file to the PICO drive that appears. Wait for the drive to disappear and reappear and then disconnect.
Set up Raspberry Pi
- Open up the Raspberry Pi webpage by navigating to the network name of the Raspberry Pi in your browser. If you named
your printer “lemontron” then your URL would be
http://lemontron.local
- Update everything!
- Click on the “Machine” tab (the last one) and upload the Klipper Config files.
