Also, tick "Save connection settings" and "Auto-connect on server startup" for your convenience.This article integrates two articles and adds personal feelings, thank them!!! Article 1: Mount the mobile hard drive for Raspberry Pi After reboot, select the new port ( purple arrow) and connect to your printer ( blue box).
Then head to "Serial Connection", and insert the line below to "Additional serial ports" ( green square). You might be greeted with the welcome wizard, please go through it first.Īs soon as you arrive at the home screen, open "Settings" by clicking the wrench.
Open your browser and type either "octopi.local" or the IP address of the RPi Zero W. The last part of the configuration is in the web interface. Sudo reboot Adding a serial port to Octoprint console = serial0, 115200 Rebooting RPiįor all changes to take effect, enter the following command to reboot the RPi. Look for the following string (text) and delete it.
Moving to another config file, where part of the code must be deleted to disable the serial console. service sudo systemctl disable bluetooth. If you experience connection or read/write issues, add the following line to the same file.įor good measure you can also disable Bluetooth services globally with the following Terminal commands: Built-in card readers may not work on virtual machines.
However, for all edits except changing the super-user password of the RPi, you can locate and edit the files using a card reader, from your desktop environment. Most popular distros also have an SSH Client installed and you connect the same way as on Mac. Hit enter and you will have shell-command over your RPi. Ssh the console, you will be asked for a password. Make sure 'Connection type' is "SSH" and click Open ( purple arrow).Īn SSH client is built into Terminal. Most users can leave 'Port' number to 22.
Open PuTTY and input ( Example to the Host Name field ( green square). Make sure the RPi and your computer are connected to the same network and use the credentials below. SSH is a way to have remote command over a device after inputting a hostname (what you called the RPi) and password. The Octoprint image which you flashed should have SSH (Secure SHell) enabled. Printer settingįirst, to use the GPIO pins for connecting to the printer, activate the RPi port ( LCD menu -> Settings -> RPi port and set it to "On"). This part only applies to the Raspberry Pi Zero/2 connected by GPIO directly to the MK3S Einsy mainboard.įrom now on the RPi Zero must be connected to the printer. You configure this by connecting to it over SSH. By default, OctoPrint does not use the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins for Serial-communication. To use RPi Zero/2 W connected directly to an MK3/S+ GPIO, you must change a setting in the printer's menu and configure how the Pi handles serial communication.
UseĪs we do not develop Octoprint, we can not cover all aspects of use. A lot of Plugins are not recommended when running Octoprint from an RPi Zero, due to its weak processor.
