A few questions on updates of Klipper, Moonraker, Mainsail etc

Sovol SV06 ACE
1

I’m playing around with my ACE a little bit more, and enjoying it a lot :smile:

A question: I find that sovol used mostly stock moonraker and mainsail components. Moonraker is version 0.9.0 from the standard repo, mainsail is 2.12.0 and also from the standard repo. Both installs are slightly behind the publicly available version. For mainsail, the timelapse module (from the public / standard moonraker-timelapse repo) has been, oddly, included in the mainsail directory tree (and this is a difference with the standard install, I think).

I like playing around with my tech, and want to update moonraker, mainsail, and possibly included/related components as well. I will not touch klipper-mcu, but would love to be able to update klipper as well.

Is it safe to use kiauh (already on the printer) to update the publicly available components? What can I safely update, and what should I not touch?

I haven’t looked at moonraker or mainsail. But I can tell you that you cannot just upgrade klipper itself. Sovol has added a module for the weight sensor that isn’t in klipper mainline.

I noticed that as well. There has been some conversations about that sensor (hx711 if i recall correctly, which is a pretty standard ADC for load cells) on the klipper github. I even seem to remember there was some support built. I’m not comfortable enough yet with the SV06 ACE to try that out, but I would like to be able to run stock klipper at some point.

In the mean time @sovol3d can maybe comment on upgrading mainsail and moonraker etcetera? Is it safe?
