The ARM CortexM3 (and later) chips almost always have a 32bit timer in the "Debug and Watch Trace" (DWT) unit which resides within the cpu core itself. This timer is generally faster to access than timers located on the chip's peripheral bus. When combined with the standard ARM SysTick timer it provides a (generally) portable mechanism to implement Klipper's software timer mechanism. It's generally also faster than using the vendor specific timers. Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net> |

Welcome to the Klipper project!
This project implements a 3d-printer firmware. There are two parts to this firmware - code that runs on a micro-controller and code that runs on a host machine. The host software does the work to build a schedule of events, while the micro-controller software does the work to execute the provided schedule at the specified times.
See the features document to find out why you should use Klipper. To begin using Klipper start by installing it.
There is also developer documentation available.
