Katapult Firmware Instructions​

Name Description

Katapult was formerly named CanBoot; both may appear simultaneously in old tutorials or old firmware names.

Katapult is the bootloader used to boot and update Klipper:

  • Katapult itself cannot be used as a Klipper MCU; after flashing, the Klipper firmware matching the hardware and communication method still needs to be written.
  • The method for entering Katapult is subject to the current product page: boards with a RESET button can enter by quickly double-pressing RESET; boards with only a BOOT button require fully powering off first, then holding BOOT while connecting USB, and releasing it once the device is recognized. After entering, there is usually a status LED blinking.
  • CAN, RS232, and USB use mutually independent Katapult firmware and cannot be mixed by simply changing the file name or using them directly.
  • CAN firmware must also select the correct bus rate; common rates are 500K and 1M.
