Setting up a second OctoPrint on same WiFi

[sw3De]

I'm trying to get my second OctoPrint to work but it does not connect to my wifi (?)
I'm using an lan scanner and no new OctoPi shows up. (just the old one)

I downloaded and installed the latest OctoPi just now.

I have entered my SSID and passkey in the 'octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt'. This is the only file I have edited.

Any suggestions?

This might be the time to go with a hostname'ing scheme. Name the first one hans and the next one chewbacca or something.

How about Gretel for the second one
Sorry...

How do i change names?

Two ways.

1. SSH in, sudo raspi-config, select the appropriate option.
2. Put a file on the SD card called octopi-hostname.txt, right next to the octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt, that contains just the name, e.g.

   chewbacca

Change name for octopi

You have two options. If your Pi is already running SSH into it run sudo raspi-config select "2. Hostname" and follow the instructions If your Pi is not running Plug the SD into your computer and on the drive that pops up (same place where you can find the network config file) create a new file octopi-hostname.txt and put the host name you want into it, e.g. octopi2 Plug the SD back into your Pi and power it up.
