OctoPrint on the Raspberry Pi A+

Post by Herrmannc1899 »

Hi Adafruit people.

The title is pretty self explanatory. Can it be done? I would like to be able to set up my PrintrBot Metal as a wireless printer, and was wondering if a raspberry pi A+ could handle that. I think I already know the answer to answer to the question, but just wanted to make sure.

Regards

~Chris

It should.

There's an OctoPrint distro specifically made for the RasPi (http://octoprint.org/download/) and anything that runs on the main RasPi should also run on the A+.

The only obvious challenge is that the A+ doesn't have any network ports, and only has one USB port. You'll need to use a USB hub to configure a wireless connection.
