Hello all! I have sucessfully configured the wifi phat from redbear with a zero and version 10(1) and a ctc replicator with camera v1.3.
Do not connect printer untill all steps are finished.
Parts required:
Readbear or compatible wifi hat.
Usb wifi hat.
Zero
Single port usb adaptor.
A 5.2. V powersupply.
- Burn image to sd do not change the settings file.
- Install hat on zero
- Connect usb wifi
- Boot pi with sd card
- Go through setup and select your internet wifi connection. And skip printer setup.
- Turn off the hotspot in setup as it will cause the hat to crash and not work. I does not support ap mode.
- Shut down pi and remove usb wifi and plug in printer
- Turn on pi and navigate to its web page.
- Setup printer be sure to select x3g style gcode.
- Profit!!!
- If you want you can get 5v from the printer power supply and install the pi into the bottom of the printer where it would be out of sight.
- Install pi camera if needed.
- Profit agian
