Really considering this! Along with the accelerometer
I have wanted klipper for a while, but man this sure makes it look very good!
I found it after watching a video about the Hurakan Printer!
I am also interested in Klipper and the accelerometer seems like a great idea.
What is stopping you from using it?
I don’t think the accelerometer would help us with our CNC machines. We just aren’t moving fast enough and the gantry has a lot of weight.

Slightly off topic, but do you think closed loop steppers would be more helpful?
this is for 3d printer. I put it in the title and in off topic 
oh whoa, not sure, that seems above what I have learned, LOL
oh, I misread and was thinking about CNCs, so I was way off topic. But closed loop steppers can help 3D printers too. The accelerometer seems useful for measuring and compensating for resonance to help reduce print ringing/ghosting.
I have an ender 5 plus with a silent motherboard, I have looked at replacement boards but newer actually ordered one.
Which one would you get? There is the BigTreeTech SKR Pico V1.0 designed for Klipper and then there is the BigTreeTech SKR MINI E3 V3.0 32 Bit Control Board.
Both seem capable?
Mine is running a duet2 with a pi running klipper.

Do you already have a board? You don’t need a new one (unless it’s ancient) to run Klipper. You don’t need a pi either. You can use any computer. But if I were you, I’d get a Orange Pi Lite as the host computer. It’s $30USD and it’s available. And if you end up not liking Klipper (you will) you can use it for other projects.
Orange Pi Lite 1GB DDR3 Allwinner H3 Quad Core Open-Source Single Board Computer, PC Functional Computer Microcontroller Support Android, Ubuntu, Debian Image (Pi Lite+Power Supply) https://a.co/d/5yPP5PV
I use this and a Fysetc Spider in my K3. When I Klipperize my LR2 I’ll be using and Orange Pi as well.

I have a longer lk4 pro. I have added micro swiss dd. I believe it is an 8 bit board. My one cincern is possibility of connectors not fitting. Guess i could figure that out too. Guess last thing stopping me is money, which truly this is reasonable.
Did a little searching and it does look like people have flashed a LK4 Pro board with Klipper. Doesn’t look as straight forward as something like an skr board but doable. Speaking of which a SKR Pico would make a great MCU board for Klipper. Orange Pi Lite and a Pico would be about $60 total. Not bad at all.
Cheaper than the Manta and more versatile if you ever plan on switching printers or projects.
