Love it! And I especially loved where he showed my Win32DiskImager program. I love seeing my program put to good use.

Re: Another neat OctoPi video find
Really? Nice!
I'd really love to remotely track what my UM2 is doing
With two more printers in the works, looks like I will need a few more Pi's...or can they do more than one printer?

Re: Another neat OctoPi video find
I see OctoPi has Cura 15.04, how would you get 2.6 to work with it?

Re: Another neat OctoPi video find
You can send it gcode directly. The reason cura engine is there, is so that you can send it stl files to slice.

I inquired on the Ultimaker forum about it as well. I think simply uploading the 2.6.1 gcode to Octo works best, allow OctoPi to do it's monitoring but not used for the slicing process.

Ordered a Raspberry Pi Starter kit from Amazon today, $69. Look forward to trying out OctoPi!

Oh geez....I should have recorded how unimpressed I am with this GoPro Hero Session! My laptop webcamera does better resolution

Re: Another neat OctoPi video find
I tried so GoPro a few years ago I wanted to try them to record some sailing, I tested them at home and they would take over 1 hour to charge for 30 minutes of recording and the batteries got far to hot for my liking, almost too hot to touch, so I sent them back.

They lowered the price to $149 and the quality is really bad. Maybe outside in bright sunshine is ok but it's a really poor attempt at a budget action camera

Re: Another neat OctoPi video find
Which GoPro model are you referring to? I have the Hero 2, and a few friends have the Hero 3. I've never had an issue with picture quality (did have a fish-eye effect until I changed the case for the revised version). I've taken lots of video above and below the water (scuba diving in the Caribbean - spectacular). Granted, I haven't tried using it to record printing (I have cheap webcams and an endoscope for that).
