Hi there, new and overall in 3d printing and raspberry. First of all I would like to connect my prusa i3 mk3s (which I am waiting for) from my networks.
First of all I can not choose what type of raspberry pi 4 to buy.
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 1 GB RAM
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 2 GB RAM
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 4 GB RAM
I especially want Octoprint to run and think about the surveillance cameras.
First of all, I would like to ask you about the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with wifi signal. The point is that the printer will be on the first floor at one end of the building and the router is on the opposite side of the building, therefore what a good receiver has raspberry.
If you are going to try to use the same mod as Jerlo, he states that it is only compatible with Kuman screens. I have Octoscreen running with a Chinese 5" 800x480 capacitive-touch screen (hdmi) and like it a lot. https://github.com/Z-Bolt/OctoScreen
What TxBillbr said: go with the same one or abandon that tutorial. All these are different. So the instructions for loading one might not work for another.
Yes, that is sold under a bunch of different names. It uses HDMI for the video and a usb connection for the touch part. The hardest part is 800x480 is not a standard VESA resolution, and you have to make an entry for it in the Xorg configuration. If I wasn't so strapped for money, I would have gotten a 10-inch one. Plus I have three printers to feed ... I will try to find the resolution setup I used if you want to try that one. Also Chris Riley (Chris's Basement Youtuber) has an excellent video on setting up Octoscreen on a 5" display. If you search for "5 inch raspberry pi touch display" on Amazon, you will get lots of hits for the display.
@Avarax none of these Chinese screens have good documentation or videos. So as long as they have drivers for Raspberry Pi buster, they will work. By default they come up in 640x480 mode. The article on how to make 800x480 work is here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=154961
I highly recommend you watch Chris's video. It was very useful for me in setting up Octoscreen.
When you win the lottery, head over to elotouch.com.
A couple of months ago I was in a going-out-of-business sale at a furniture store and they had a humungous (probably $5000) TFT display console (same company) that they used in the sales channel and I was desperately trying to get them to sell it to me. :laugh:
Sorry, My German is not good enough to shop on Amazon.de. Any touch screen that works with current raspberry pi can be used. Best choice is capacitive touch and hdmi connection. I cannot be responsible for your choice. I can only advise of what worked for me.
Any touchscreen that uses usb to communicate touch and HDMI to deliver video. This way you are using native pi tools rather than some Chinese guy's driver written for some other linux system. Sorry for the delay in answering, I've been heads down rebuilding a printer.
Hello there OutsourcedGuru, Hope you are doing well.
I just get a SunFounder 10.1" that I want to use with Octoprint, it get stuck in black code loading screen
I have following the steps that the Sunfounder guide suggest, installing Touch Ui from web browser and sending commands "mkdir" it says that no folder directory exist
