Installation Help

[tjfreckles]

I don't know if questions and issues are still being answered, but here goes. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Rpi and so if I'm not including enough information please tell me what you need.

I installed the raspbian stretch image (from unzipping photonic3d) and formatted it and wrote it to my SD card. For instructions on how to download and format I was following this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng1Sj2ktWhU

Up to the point where he ran the commands headless. I opened the terminal in my Rasp pi, I expanded the file system (not really sure what that does, but I did it) I enabled camera and then in my terminal I typed the commands:

sudo wget start.sh https://github.com/area515/Photonic3D/raw/master/host/bin/start.sh sudo chmod 777 start.sh sudo ./start.sh

Like the guy in the video and the first two commands seemed to get the same responses as the guy in the video, but when I typed the final command my response was significantly shorter ending with something along the lines of searching for printers or something (I rebooted afterwards so the exact response is gone). I'll try to get more info if you tell me what you need to help and how I need to get it, I think my model is a 3B and if the issue could possibly be my pi not getting enough power then that would make sense given the cord i'm stuck with right now, but let me know if that'd make sense please. Thank you very much

That's not quite enough to go on. We'll need to see the output of that last command to help you out.

Hi,

i think that has something to do with the Java Links in the start.sh script. I had the same issue the installation stops because of the "to old" Java Links. Just try to use the normal Image and then upgrade to the development version. That works at least for me.

@gesatpal Idk what you mean by the normal image? The normal photonic3d image? Noobs? just raspbian?

@WesGilster I tried the same commands again without wiping my system (I can't seem to find my micro sd to usb stick) And this was the result. It looks like it thinks its installed but in the video I watched they said that when I turn on my pi it should boot right up with creation workshop and it didn't.

It could just be I'm misunderstanding how to use photonic once it's installed. I'm not really an expert on Raspberry Pi's . When I put in my pi ip address:9091 it says no printers set up, which I'm assuming means the pi isn't actually hooked up?

Edit: OK I did a little more reading and I think I just need a little direction. I'll give you my set up and any tips I get from yall would be suuuuper appreciated.

I've got a nema 17 motor that I want to hook up to an arduino, i've got that all wired up and the plan is to use Gerbl with creation workshop to run the stepper motor. I want to use the raspberry pi to run creation workshop and the projector and use it as my 'brain' so I don't have to keep my computer on and plugged into my projector during the whole time I'm printing. I don't really understand where the interface between the arduino and the pi come in to play and I'm not sure what settings/pages I need to look at in the creation workshop website client thing.

One other problem I'm having is that I'm trying to set this printer up at my school. The school wifi and the raspberry pi don't play nicely together. At home I'm able to get to the :ip:9091 website, however here I can't. Is there a way that connecting my pi to a computer/laptop with a lan or even wirelessly with the pi's wifi, that can let me bypass connecting to the schools wifi with my pi, which I can't do.

I'm gonna close this issue, I realized I didn't know what I was talking about, it did install and work, I just couldn't access it from my school's wifi/Lan internet. i still have no idea how to set up a printer though, but I'm looking through other issues to try and get help
