## Connect the Vision Miner 22 IDEX to SimplyPrint

| Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Duet (RepRapFirmware) | Compatible | A computer or Raspberry Pi on the same network that stays on, running the SimplyPrint Client | Runs RepRapFirmware on a Duet board as shipped (Duet 3 6HC on current units, Duet 2 on V1/V2), which the SimplyPrint Client's Duet integration connects to. ([Source](https://visionminer.com/products/main-board-v4)) |
| OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | Not confirmed yet - help us find out |  | Duet boards do accept G-code over USB, but Vision Miner documents only the Duet web interface (Ethernet/Wi-Fi); OctoPrint use not confirmed. ([Source](https://visionminer.com/products/22idexv3)) |
| Klipper (Moonraker) | Not compatible |  | Ships RepRapFirmware on Duet boards, not Klipper. ([Source](https://visionminer.com/products/22idex)); Doesn't ship with Klipper: it runs Klipper after you install it in place of its own firmware, a modification |

## Automate the Vision Miner 22 IDEX

### Ways to automate it

- [Your own ejection G-code](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/custom): Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.
- [A robot arm, or anything with an API](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/api): Tell SimplyPrint the plate is clear through the API or a webhook, from a robot arm or your own system.
- [Clear it by hand, keep the queue](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/manual-mode): AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job.
