[Question] Manta M8p , CB1 and powering CB1. #57

Is it possible to powerup the CB1 without power up the mainboard. I'm used to having Pi on all the time. So I can remote power up the printer via telegram or other remote tools and print remotely. Is this possible. I am aware of VUSB jumper but I have a feeling still powers the mainboard.

I'm also interested in this option. It's a bit annoying to have to power off the PI and then power off the printer.

No there is no option to power the CB1 board separately from the mainboard, they are designed to be treated as a single component.

If you want to use the CB1 as a standalone device, you will need to purchase a PI4 Adapter from BTT or another vendor.
