Connect your Raspberry Pi to the Internet
Your Raspberry Pi needs internet to work with our system. You can either plug a network cable into it, or follow the steps below, to connect it to WiFi
This WiFi login must be in a file and placed on the SD card. We can help generate the file for you!
WARNING: Raspberry Pi's can have issues with 5Ghz WiFi networks, try 2.4Ghz if possible.
- Enter your WiFi information (we do not save them)
- Download the file
- Make sure the file is named
octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt - Insert the Raspberry Pi's SD card into the computer
- Place the file on the SD card (you'll need to replace the existing one)
- Insert the Raspberry Pi's SD card into the computer
- Open the SD card folder
-
Open the file called
octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt
(preferably use a slightly more advanced text editor such as Notepad++ to open the file) - Scroll down to the text
## WPA / WPA2 secured. For security reasons your WiFi must have a password to use our system. - If you have a completely normal WiFi with a name and password, simply remove the
#sign in front of the lines
It should look like this;
## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
ssid="Network-Name"
psk="network-password"
}
6. save and close the file
Turn on your Rasbperry
Remove the SD card from your computer, insert it into the Raspberry Pi, and then plug in the power supply
Connect the Rasbperry Pi to your printer and it's ready!
Plug the cable from the USB port on your Raspberry Pi, to the printer port (usually mini-USB).
