X1Plus expansion board first look

- A first look at the X1Plus expansion board, adding ethernet, USB, I2C, and other GPIO functionality to the Bambu X1 Carbon printer. I demonstrate a remote precise humidity sensor placed in the AMS, as well as a strip of Neopixels, all controlled locally by the X1's AP board with no external systems.

Thanks, looking really good. Will have to add one to my X1C.
This is excellent. I could see chamber heaters plus monitoring of temps.
now THAT is an undeniably good reason to void your warranty
That’s a blast from the past, I haven’t thought of iPAQs in years and suddenly youtube recommends your video :)
Wow, great to hear from you, Koen. Yeah, some things never change... two decades later, here I am, still shoehorning weird Linux systems on 32-bit ARMs. I was originally kind of thinking of using ipkg for X1Plus... As it turns out, Jamey and I are working together these days, doing business as Accelerated Tech. Hope you're doing well.
This is awesome. Still be doing for all of my 3 X1Cs
Man this is cool to see! keep up the good work.
Like the Ethernet connection
Love it!
I think the round hygrometer within your AMS might need new batteries. those cheaper ones have always been a bit iffy in terms of reliability. Really excited for the user configurable GPIO by the way. Lots of opportunities for community engagement there.
Very good board to add to X1C printer to do more I am interested to have it
Absolutely interested. On the Bambu forum, you mention the HW is open source. I can’t find it on the GitHub page, will you make it available at some point? Also, how does it interface with the main MCU? I don’t see a header for the display cable; I would have thought you would link through that interface. Is it through the Bambu 4 pin bus? One mod I’d like to do is have an infrared heater on top, facing down on the part to keep the part warmer than 60C without having to convectively heat the whole chamber. Perhaps with reflective tape on the bits that shouldn’t get too hot. And with an I2C interface, an IR thermometer could be used as a control loop for the IR heater. How do/would you control the peripherals? I imagine some could be accessible via G-Code, but what about the neopixel animations?
Yes
Not only is this cool as hell, your forum post was also recommended as the top suggested read on my Google search app, so you must be gaining traction somewhere somehow!
Any idea what price point you'd be looking to sell these at if you went into production?
Whoah I have never #goneviral before. Thanks for letting me know!
I think that there are a positive number of people who would buy this thing. So I think there is a good question around building and distributing it, and price point. I need to ask around about how people decide on that… the COGS of each one is not all that high but the direct cost of developing it is definitely getting up there, to say nothing of the time spent on it (and the entire X1Plus program) so far… I should ask, like, the 1b2 folks for suggestions. I still have no idea if the expected volume should be like tens or thousands.
I could use one of these for my x1c…
Where do I get more info on this?
Good question! Join the X1Plus Discord, maybe, as the best option? I am not all that great at, like, setting up broadcast communication, as you can tell :-) If you have suggestions for how you usually get more info about things like this, please let me know.
@@joshuawise Thanks, I never seem to find time for Discords (nor for actually making things like this myself 😂), but for anything involving code, there’s usually a GitHub page that describes the project and has the latest version of the code in it.
Whatever the case, good luck on the project, it looks really awesome!
Any chance anything of this will ever work on P1 Series? Or can you give me any hint on where to start looking for information about how to "hack" into a P1P? I'm a sysadmin with a lot of interest in cybersecurity/pentesting but did not got much into it and I thought maybe this would be a cool project to learn some stuff and achieve more freedom on P1. I do not know very much about coding but willing to learn :D My rookie attempts of scanning the P1P showed me it should run at least some kind of Linux 😅
I don't think it's running linux. I not really sure so don't take 100% of my word, but i think both the P1 and A1 series run some sort of an ESP32 or something like that and only the X1 runs linux, that's why the managed to create a custom firmware.
@@kyrkas2008 Totally possible I did just run some scans/skripts off the shelf so they might detected it wrong ^^
Yeah this is correct, P1 is an ESP32 running some software of their own, not Linux
@@joshuawise Oh okay ^^ Thanks!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I'm not sure this development will be worth it. A 5G wifi instead of 2.4G would be enough for me. USB, I2C, GPIO - I have no idea why would I want them. Eth Iface is nice but why would I want it? For better video you need to replace the camera and the lens too. You can buy pro (+- 2%) Sensirion hum. sensor for $30 with builtin LCD and bluetooth connection, it works with 2032 battery for 2 yrs.
USB2.0 ? You want to attach mouse, or keyboard or what? This is a random development for sake of development, but it makes no sense sorry.
Nice, but those Bamboo wifi printer are still full of spying features. So it is better to stick to normal printters and open source software.
What normal printers don't have wifi? 🤔
@@jamesm3268 I meant: the few Bamboo pro ,( I think that was X1E, ) products that can run without internet access have ethernet, which I prefer. The Bamboo consumer products works as long their mother ship gets your data and can see what you do.
They've added a LAN mode in the production build. It won't have to rely on internet access and it you can set up your firewall to block external comms.
Also, I think the X1Plus firmware may give you better control over it as well.
This post is pretty funny. It sort of seems like one of these internet truisms that the less somebody knows about something, the more confidently they post. I have always wondered why this is.
cool
