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

Re: OctoPrint on the Raspberry Pi A+
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.
