Hi Snapmakers, I prefer LAN cable over WiFi, and so after receiving my beautiful A350 yesterday, I attached an USB to Ethernet adapter to the USB port of the controller. This was an immediate success, it receives an IP via DHCP and I can connect successfully via Luban. I suppose that any Linux ker…

@Hauke This is great news! I wonder if other usb network devices will work? Is Bluetooth and and 5g Wi-Fi devices accepted by the Linux kernel?

[image] MaddogCrusader: Do you have a link for the adapter? I think it is this one: https://www.amazon.de/Dell-Adapter-USB-auf-Ethernet/dp/B00IPNHMBO - it was included with my Dell Laptop, so I am not 100% sure.

How close is the SM2 controller with a pi? Do you think it could run an octoprint server? I feel like that would be a huge improvement.

Look for an adapter with a Realtek RTL8153 chip and it should work.

[image] Atom: How close is the SM2 controller with a pi? Do you think it could run an octoprint server? The touchscreen controller is ARM based, just like the Raspberry Pi. But I guess that´s more or less the end of similarities, apart from perhaps that Android and Linux are close relatives. …

I agree probably easier to go with a standard pi, just a shame to have all that power and not be able to make good use of it :frowning:

Octopi (the Raspbian OS) would not work on the controller. However, Octoprint is just Python, so an Android-based controller should be able to handle it easily.

I think that this already has been done: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/5jk723/update_octoprint_on_android_it_actually_works_on/ However, I’ve no idea how stable this is. Still, I guess the touchscreen controller would be absolutely capable of that if Snapmaker would put their effort i…
