* Klipper supports printers with multiple micro-controllers. For
example, one micro-controller could be used to control an
extruder, while another could control the printer's heaters, while
a third controls the rest of the printer. The Klipper host
software implements clock synchronization to account for clock
drift between micro-controllers. No special code is needed to
enable multiple micro-controllers - it just requires a few extra
lines in the config file.
