v0.17.0
I have a new v1pi image ready. Here are what I’ve changed:
- New version of octopi/octoprint.
- Hotspot is fixed (and better, IMO).
- New docs: v1pi
I haven’t done extensive testing on my machines (no prints or carves yet). If anyone is willig to test it, I would appreciate it. I will make an announcement in #software when I feel like it’s had some miles.
Hot Spot
I neglected the hotspot in the previous version, but here’s the deal. There was an “auto hotspot” thing that would turn the hot spot on and off. I think that’s stupid, because, you either have wifi access or you don’t. If you’re on the edge (like a barn that can kind of reach), then you really don’t want it switching back and forth.
So instead, the hotspot version of the image has RaspAP installed, and there’s a link on the front page. This should be pretty useful for those of you that don’t have wifi, or don’t want your cnc on your wifi. It will show up at v1pi with a passcode of ChangeMe. More info in the docs. BTW, not all the features in RaspAP work for me, but the ones I really cared about did.
New Docs
I copied the work we did on Ryan’s V1Engineering docs, and you might recognize the theme 
. There isn’t much info, but I think it ended up looking better/less cluttered, and of course, easier to edit.
