In this video I walk through a great "off the shelf" option for getting started with Input Shaper. You can buy this from Fabreeko for around $23-25:
fabreeko.com/products/badgerbox-simple-adxl?variant=43148410028287
You will also need an ADXL345 sensor (also available from Fabreeko) for an additional $5. Buy two if you are running this on a bed slinger, like the Switchwire.

(I am not sure if headers are soldered or not on these)

Follow along as I go through the steps of configuring the software for the Input Shaper, based on the directions provided from the creator of the Badgerbox, found here:
github.com/moodytechz/PicoADXL
More Info:
Under the covers the BadgerBox is a Raspberry Pi Pico that is pre-made with a nice printed part box, and with all the wiring and connectors needed for connecting an ADXL345. You just need to mount it to your toolhead, and upload the ADXL.cfg file to your Raspberry Pi running Klipper.
The benefit of the Badger Box:
* Most of the hardware is done for you, you just need to connect the ADXL345 and mount it
* Wiring is simple: use a USB cable to connect to the Raspberry Pi
* It's very portable- easily use it on any printer with Klipper
Steps you will need to take after mounting hardware:
1. Install software dependencies (numpy, matplotlib, etc.). Mine were already installed - latest images of MainsailOS seem to come pre-configured.
2. Upload the ADXL345.cfg file, obtain the device ID of the Badger Box (Pi Pico), and include the file in your printer.cfg.
See Nero's video for more information if you want to build your own Pi Pico with ADXL345:
