RedBear iot phat zero HowTo

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.

  1. Burn image to sd do not change the settings file.
  2. Install hat on zero
  3. Connect usb wifi
  4. Boot pi with sd card
  5. Go through setup and select your internet wifi connection. And skip printer setup.
  6. Turn off the hotspot in setup as it will cause the hat to crash and not work. I does not support ap mode.
  7. Shut down pi and remove usb wifi and plug in printer
  8. Turn on pi and navigate to its web page.
  9. Setup printer be sure to select x3g style gcode.
  10. Profit!!!
  11. 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.
  12. Install pi camera if needed.
  13. Profit agian
