Pi PC + 3d Printer No serial

tekk.ninja

I bought myself a Orange Pi PC and it arrived a few days ago. Ive been fidling with distros to get something that worked. I eventually got a hold of @loboris images and grabbed debian wheezy and loaded the correct Uimage and script.bin files. All USB ports work (finally) and i managed to get octopi installed working off both the raspberry Pi guide and off the BeagleBoneBlack guide. I have yet to go through this guide.

My problem though is that I am not seeing any devices in the Octoprint menus.

Im not a Linux guru but can figure my way around.

Any help or advice would be awesome

My guess would be you have to know what is the chip that is used in your 3d printer board as usb2serial adapter and have a kernel module for it installed. Is it a boring RAMPS or something more exotic?
Seeing nothing in lsusb output suggests to check your cable. There should be at least some unknown device listed, even if no driver presents.

Definitely wasn't the cable. I tried your guide as listed earlier and its working 100% now. Unfortunately the bump in performance (rpi B+ to the OP PC) hasn't really made a difference. The web page loads a lot faster however I still get stuttering on curves. Obviously its the buffers on the Ardunio. Also a bit disappointing that the RPI NOIR cam wont work on this board. :/

Dealing with a 3D printer that has no serial number can be frustrating, especially when trying to register the device or seek support. Without a serial number, tracking the machine's origin and warranty status becomes difficult. However, for those in need of reliable identification and shipping labels, investing in the best label printer shipping can solve part of the problem. A high-quality label printer ensures that each package is accurately labeled, streamlining logistics and reducing errors in shipping processes, even for items produced on unregistered 3D printers.
