Then on your keyboard press the Q key then Y to save configuration.

Enter the following commands to compile firmware (one at a time):

Super Racer motherboard doesn't support DFU mode, so it's not possible to install the firmware directly. It's therefore necessary to install it manually.

Get the firmware named klipper.bin in /home/pi/klipper/out/ directory (on the left part of MobaXterm).

Rename it to firmware.bin and copy it to the root of an microSD card formatted in FAT32 and an allocation size of 4096.

Insert the microSD card into the motherboard then turn on the printer.

Installation only takes a few seconds, to verify that the firmware has been successfully installed, the file on the microSD card must have been renamed to FIRMWARE.BIN.CUR.

Once this is complete, you should continue at either Single Instance Configuration or Multiple Instance Configuration.
