Today, I will show you how to set up multiple instances on Klipper with the BigTreeTech Pad7 or the CB1. The CB1 is a Raspberry Pi replacement board and is combined with the Pi4B adapter to make it work as a Raspberry Pi. Getting something like this costs around $50, and like the Raspberry Pi, you also need to get a USB-C charger and a spare MicoSD card to get started. You can also just plug the CB1 right into the new generation of BigTreeTech motherboards like the Manta series I previously tested.

The Pad7 combines the CB1, Pi4B and the heat sink with a touch screen and packs everything in a case; the package also comes with accessories like an accelerometer for input shaper calibration, a 32GB micro SD card with the system OS pre-installed, and a power supply that allows you to use it right out of the box; this Pad7 costs around $130.

If you are worried about it being difficult to configure the Pad7 or CB1, I will show you every step in this video, as well as setting up multiple instances.
