Installing LED Effects Software

※Automatic installation

The module can be installed into a existing Klipper installation with an install script.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/julianschill/klipper-led_effect.git
cd klipper-led_effect
./install-led_effect.sh

For users in mainland China, you can use the following command:

cd ~
git clone https://gitee.com/ruchi/klipper-led_effect.git
cd klipper-led_effect
./install-led_effect.sh

If your directory structure differs from the usual setup you can configure the installation script with parameters:

./install-led_effect.sh [-k <klipper path>] [-s <klipper service name>] [-c <configuration path>]

※Manual installation

Clone the repository:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/julianschill/klipper-led_effect.git

Stop Klipper:

systemctl stop klipper

Link the file in the Klipper directory (adjust the paths as needed):

ln -s klipper-led_effect/led_effect.py ~/klipper/klippy/extras/led_effect.py

Start Klipper:

systemctl start klipper

Add the updater section to moonraker.conf and restart moonraker to receive updates:

[update_manager led_effect]
type: git_repo
path: ~/klipper-led_effect
origin: https://github.com/julianschill/klipper-led_effect.git
is_system_service: False

※How do I uninstall?

Remove all led_effect definitions in your Klipper configuration and the updater section in the Moonraker configuration. Then run the script to remove the link:

cd ~
cd klipper-led_effect
./install-led_effect.sh -u

If your directory structure differs from the usual setup you can configure the installation script with parameters:

./install-led_effect.sh -u [-k <klipper path>] [-s <klipper service name>] [-c <configuration path>]

If that fails, you can delete the link in Klipper manually:

rm ~/klipper/klippy/extras/led_effect.py

Delete the repository (optional):

cd ~
rm -rf klipper-led_effect
