Nice Stealth Burner tool board

So far it's working great. The 2M umbilical cable is well made and had enough length for my custom project. I do like that most of the connectors are JST-XH but I did have to clip and re crimp swapping from a SB2040 that used JST-XH. Not a big deal. Config was a breeze thanks to it having boot and reset buttons rather than jumpers. Overall a quality product from LDO.

Good Product!

Nitehawk SB is a good addition to my Voron 2.4.
Simplifies and streamlines the wiring/drag chains from the toolhead down to the electronics bay. Setup was very straight forward and was quickly up and running.
West3d is a great company to do business with.

After having CanBus issues I opted for simplicity

I was using a BTT SB2209 for quite some time. Everything was working great. That is until I updated Klipper. Then, I had to update the controllers. No problem, I've done this before. I went through all the hoops but nothing worked as it once had. I tried Katapult. I tried flashing the device directly. This was with the toolhead board and my MMB for my ERCF. I never got it going again. So, I ordered this to run my toolhead via USB. Functionality is the same as I had before. However, the connectors on this board are standard JST sizes, so crimping the thermistor and end stops was no problem.

The only issue I have with this is that the USB cable connects by plugging horizontally into the back of the toolhead. It would be nice to have it plug in vertically, giving it more stability.

If you're looking for a tool head controller and you don't want to dig deep into CanBus then this is a solid option.

Description

Nitehawk-SB by LDO is a toolboard specifically designed for the Voron Stealthburner toolhead. It is a toolhead PCB featuring RP2040 MCU, TMC2209 stepper drive, ADXL345 accelerometer all integrated into one board. The form factor of Nitehawk is based on HartK’s two piece stealthburner toolhead PCB but with some minor changes. 

Nitehawk uses USB communication with the RPI rather than CAN. So the software and hardware setup is far simpler and familiar to most people who have setup Klipper printers before

If you're using this for a toolhead other than the stealthburner check out the Nitehawk-36.

Features

  • Convenient wiring, no more complicated and error prone breakout cables - nitehawk only requires 24V power and a USB connector to the RPI host.
  • USB Klipper connection, no additional software or hardware setup compared to CAN
  • Custom toolhead cable, a single combined USB data and power cable rated for drag chain use, but can also be used in umbilical configuration.
  • Convenient Input Shaping, run input shaper calibration at anytime with an onboard accelerometer.
  • Tacho enabled fans, both hotend and part fan ports are three pin tachometer compatible, allowing for additional diagnostics and safety.

System Overview

The Nitehawk system consists of three PCBs and the Umbilical Cable. A simplified wiring diagram is shown below:

  • Nitehawk-SB, this is the main PCB, which houses the MCU, stepper driver, fan drivers, and other circuits.
  • Fan Adapter, this is simple PCB receives the part fan, hotend fan, and neopixels and connects them to the main Nitehawk PCB via headers. The main purpose of this seperation is to allow the Stealthburner front to be easily detactable for maintenance.
  • Umbilical Cable, this is a custom flex cable that is rated for drag chain use. It delivers 24V power to the main Nitehawk PCB while also carrying USB data.
  • USB Adapter, this simple PCB combines 24V power from the power supply and USB data from the Raspberry Pi into a unified connection to the main Nitehawk PCB via the Umbilical cable.
