Multiple Instances Of Octoprint Assign Same Serial Number #60

Open kbots-tech opened 3 years ago

kbots-tech commented 3 years ago

I have 3 instances of octoprint running on a pi with three seperate printers, The problem I found is all three are assigned the same serial number and thus show up as one printer on the polar3d interface, is there a way I can manually tell it to use a different serial number for each one or is this beyond what the plugin can/was meant to do? I tried adding one at a time and renaming it on the Polar3d side but that didn't seem to work.

As long as the pi's have different MAC addresses, they should all get different serial numbers. Any idea if that's not the case?

kbots-tech commented 3 years ago

What I meant is I'm running 3 instances on one pi, so three octoprint servers on one device, if it bases serial number off mac adress is there any reasonably simple way I can change that?

Unfortunately no, not at this time. Unless @alexp3d or @dnewman-polar3d have any ideas for updates to the protocol to address situations like this.

Ok no worries I can come up with a workaround and just use the octoprint UI on the pi or something along those lines, thanks for the quick reply. I know multiple instances is something people don't normally do but seems to be gaining popularity if an update could allow that eventually.
