# Notes: Very slow for streaming, large images. OctoPrint recommends the Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, or 4B and strongly discourages the use of the Raspberry Pi Zero W due to severe performance issues. # Raspberry Pi Camera V2, maximum resolution, stills mode, full field of view (4:3 aspect) at 15fps OctoPi, a Raspberry Pi distribution based on Raspbian, includes a pre-configured version of OctoPrint as well as mjpeg-streamer support for webcams. # Raspberry Pi Camera V2, half resolution, video mode, full field of view (4:3 aspect) at 10fps Streams at 10Mbps which is already a lot. Should you wish to change the resolution of the cam, Tried to install Octo Pi on Zero2 following the instructions on - Download & Setup OctoPrint. Also, the focus of the V2 is not very sharp anyway, so it's a bit of a waste of bandwidth. However, I don't recommend you go much higher than that, as Octopi is already streaming at a ridiculous 10Mbps for that resolution. You should use the 4:3 setting in Octoprint.īy default, the camera streams at 640×480 which is very low resolution. I did put it next to the extruder, as it gives me a nice view of the current printing process, and it's not obstructing access to the printer. You can of course put your camera wherever you see fit. Once it's powered up (there a little green led flashing that you can see barely at the back of the case) try connecting to it with it's ip, or maybe if proper dns resolution is in place. You can find a micro USB to USB2.0 TYPE B cable, they do exist in china. The Pizero only has MicroUSB ports, so you need connect this one with an OTG adapter to the “blue” data cable (USB2.0 TYPE B, the square port). This one will send Octoprint's instructions (GCODE) to the printer, in the same way your laptop would do. The second cable, located in the center, is the data port. You can also power it with a USB powerbank for your tests (no fan noise :) ) The one at the side of the case (right on the picture) is the “power” one, you simply connect it with a micro usb cable to the USB thumbdrive port on the A5/A3S : it'll power the pi. Then put it in the PIZERO, boot it and verify it gets an ip adress (eg : in your router)īeware the PIZERO has two USB ports and you need them both Now - as covered in multiple other tutorials (eg ), simply find an image of Octoprint for Pi ( ) flash it on a MicroSD card ( 16 GB or more recommended )Īs the PIZERO doesn't know your network settings yet, mount the flash drive in a PC and edit the network config (įound in /boot/octopi-network.txt ) for your internal LAN's SSID and password.
