Do any of you guys use octoprint? I just got my first Pi yesterday and i tried setting it up but i cant figure out how to connect to it wirelessly :confused: ive already edited the txt file with the SSID and password and when i hook it up to my TV is displays and IP number so i assume that means its connected. But how does my laptop interact with it? Im currently using a Dell running Windows 10.

Yep watched that video yesterday. Pinging the IP results in request timed out

Pretty good except for my crappy knees lol

Are all of the devices (pi, laptop, desktop) on the same local network?

What is “ip add” and “ip route” showing if you run it from the RPi? Could also try “ip neigh”.
Usually the first three numbers of four in the IPv4 address should be the same if they are in the same network.

And you can try “ping http://www.google.com” from the device. Or “tracepath http://www.google.com” to see if you reach those places.

You could also try to connect to the host name of the RPi and add “.local” (“octoprint.local” ?) to connect to it. If your computer undersands mDNS (or your router).
Works on Linux and OSX laptops and desktops computers anyway. Should at least work on MS Windows with some added software, but I am not a MS guy.

Yes they are all on the same network @Adam_Steinmark ​

@Cristian_Martinez I asked you to run them and post result here, not understand them. :slight_smile:

It is commands that you can use in the command shell on the linux that is running in octoprint. From a terminal if you connect a keybord to the RPi.

When you have network connection, you can use the MS Windows program Putty to connect to the RPi for testing those commands.

I dont have a keyboard unfortunately and i tried using PuTTY but it wont connect to it :confused:

13

So i have no way to type commands or do anything :confused:

14

Unplug the monitor and keyboard form the desktop and plug it into the off Pi. Boot up the Pi and when it’s fully booted try the “ifconfig” command to get the IP. Then type that IP into your laptop. If that doesn’t work let me know.

Im using a laptop. Cant exactly rip the keyboard out of it

16

Its plugged to my TV and its displaying a “my IP address is…” message but when i put that in the address bar on chrome it doesnt exist. When i ping it from command prompt i get timeout errors

17

So what is the IP on your laptop and what IP are the RPi showing?

18

Ill have to look when i get home heading to church

19

Oh sorry I guess I read too fast and saw “Dell” as “desktop”. Can you borrow a keyboard from anywhere?
