H36 Combo V2
Note
- Since there is no 125 degree Celsius USB-HUB chip, the 125 degree Celsius operating environment is limited to CANBUS mode；
- Klipper currently does not support 125 degree Celsius accelerometers, so the 125 degree Celsius operating environment does not include accelerometers. The default version of H36 is ADXL345, which has a maximum operating temperature of 85 degrees Celsius. The 105 degree Celsius ADXL345-EP version is optional, but it is more expensive.
Introduction
H36 Combo V2.0 is a newly designed high temperature tool board running Klipper firmware. Based on STM32G431CBT3, the maximum operating temperature can reach 125 degrees Celsius (CAN only). It also provides two communication methods: CANBUS and USB. The onboard USBHUB has up to two USB interfaces (or one CAN and one USB), which can be used to connect to the IDM Scanner Leveling Sensor camera, etc.
Version Notes
V2.0 (Currently Available)
- Change MCU to STM32G431CBT3
- Reassign pins
- Lead out the header pins for the SWD interface
- When the USB-C port is plugged in, it automatically switches to USB communication.
Featrues
- STM32G431CBT3 MCU, up to 125 degrees Celsius, supports Klipper Firmware
- 6-layer PCB design, all solid capacitors and tantalum capacitors, better heat dissipation
- Onboard RESET and BOOT0 buttons for easy firmware update
- Fan control/heating both use independent high-power MOS, safer and lower heat generation

IO.0 and IO.1 are located in the same connector and can be used as XY endstops, and IO.2 can be used as a probe. In addition, IO.0 - IO.5 have level conversion (with pull-up resistors) , IO.01, IO.2 have voltage selectors (5V or 24V) pin header, IO.3 IO.4 have voltage selectors (5V or 24V) pads. All the IOs can be used as inputs or outputs, such as RGB ,Servo, Endstops, and can be configured according to your other needs.

LED indications：
| LED name | Indicate | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| 3V3 | Lights up: Power supply OK. Turns off : Power supply failure. 3.3V is obtained by converting 24V to 5V through DC-DC and then to 3.3V through LDO, so there may be a short circuit/open circuit in 24V/5V/3.3V. |
Red |
| HUB | Lights up: The USB has at least one connection. Turns off: The USB has no connection. |
Red |
| STATUS | When using katakulpt- Blinking: Entering download mode;Off/Always on: Not in download mode, the status is generally determined by config; The LED is controlled by PC13 and lights up at a high level. For customized usage, please refer to julianschill/klipper-led_effect |

USB / CAN selection
XT30 and USB2/CAN both use CAN to communicate refer to the instructions below for connecting the H36 via CAN.
XT30 and USB2/CAN both use USB to communicate refer to the instructions below for connecting the H36 via USB.
Header Jumpers：
IO.0+1 , IO.2 , Fan0 , Fan1 can select the power supply voltage through the jumper cap.
As shown in the figure, the two pins on the left are connected together for 24V, and the two pins on the right are connected together for 5V.
NOTE
Please note that if these interfaces are used as outputs, the high-level voltage of the output is consistent with the voltage selected by the jumper. Please make sure that your peripherals can withstand the range. Generally speaking, only SSR in the accessories of 3D printers can withstand 9-36V control voltage.
Communication
Connect to Pi
H36 combo V2 can be connected to Pi via USB or CANBUS. Select by PA2, refer to USB / CAN selection.
Via CAN
Since the Raspberry Pi does not have a CANBUS interface, it is usually connected only after the CANBUS interface is expanded through an expansion chip. Commonly used ones include the MCP2518 SPI to CAN module (CanHat), USB to CAN module (eg: UCAN), Klipper USB to CAN Bridge Mode, and a Linux host computer with a native CAN interface (eg: CM68).
Via USB
When using USB connection, you can use the adapter board we provide to directly connect to the USB interface of PI.
Firmware Guide
Firmware configuration and compilation
With Katapult Bootloader
If you need to use a bootloader, we recommend using katapult. The following is not configured for reference:
For katapult use, refer to: https://github.com/Arksine/katapult
cd ~/katapult
make menuconfig
make flash FLASH_DEVICE=0483:df11
cd ~/klipper
make menuconfig
make
cd ~/katapult/scripts
#when using CAN communication
python3 flashtool.py -i can0 -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin -u <uuid>
#when using USB communication
python3 flashtool.py -d <serial device> -b <baud_rate> -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin
Klipper with nobootloader
H36 uses the bootloader-free mode by default, and the configuration is as follows:
Firmware upload
Before executing the following commands, you need to enter DFU mode before you can compile and burn the firmware. As shown in the figure above,
- press and hold BOOT0,
- then press the RESET button for one second,
- then release RESET,
- wait for 3 seconds,
- and release BOOT0.
Use " lsusb" to check if a DFU device appears. If yes, upload firmware. If no, repeat the above steps.
