tnx
This makes me hot. Is that wrong?
Not that this isn’t cool or anything, but I’m a little paranoid about wireless connections. Will this be stable enough for long prints? I wouldn’t trust the wifi here with that task.
@Dale_Dunn , I think this is over Bluetooth, which I honestly would trust less than Wi-Fi. But I believe the application will also work over USB if your device has USB host functionality. I haven’t personally been able to get this to work on my old galaxy nexus, but I haven’t tried it on my new phone yet.
Due to way too many people using wifi near me, my wifi signal sucks just 10 feet from my router with no walls inbetween. Bluetooth may be more reliable compared to wifi due to that, but it may be hard to find a wifi tablet with bluetooth. That means I may have to use my phone which I might keep busy playing stupid games.
The reliability of Bluetooth seems to be fine, I did not have any disconnect during test. But the latency of Bluetooth is a bit high which makes it less good for high speed prints.
As @Eric_Moy pointed out, the App can also connect using USB host functionality.
