OctoBTT

Introduce

• A UI that matches OctoPrint printer

Software architecture

• Client and server architecture solution
• OctoPi -> OctoPrint service -> Printer

Install the tutorial

(The update and upgrade operations are not redundant)

1. Install OctoPrint(direct use of OctoPi is recommended)-- (install under directory)

2. Install Xorg (Reference: https://wiki.debian.org/Xorg#Video_drivers)

• sudo apt install xorg
• add line "allowed_users = anybody" to "/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config"

3. Set the Console to boot in Pi mode

4. In rc.local, start startup for X service Settings

• Add the shell line(“su -l pi -c startx”) before "exit 0"
• ”rc.local“ is in the etc folder in the system directory

Steps 5 through 7 You can download install.sh to run directly as root

• svn export https://github.com/bigtreetech/OctoBTT.git/trunk/install.sh
• . install.sh

5. Install full Qt

6. Git clone project to ~/ directory

7. Perform make [option] compilation in the project folder

• -j* Thread parameters, set the compilation thread, improve the compilation speed, need to set the appropriate number of compilation, too many threads will cause the compilation exception failure, such as: make -j4; Compile for four threads
• clean Environment cleaning parameter. Recompiling requires doing environment cleaning first, for example: make clean
• -----Note: the compilation process may fail due to missing libraries, requiring manual installation of missing development libraries for clean recompilation-----
• Do not execute qmake. It will destroy the project files

8. Boot mode [install. Sh script will automatically copy. Xsession to directory]

method[1]

manually executes the "startx" launcher

method[2]

is added in ~/.xsession

• xset -dmps
• xset s off
• exec OctoBQPi

enables the program to start itself after the X service runs

Instructions for use

1. Used with OctoPrint

Notes

1. Because the serial port delay is long, the background has blocked the serial port connection, we only use the USB automatic connection
2. It is recommended to run with Marlin firmware. Currently there may be some unknown problems due to non-marlin firmware
3. If you want to use octoprint online , you can use the network cable to connect to the router.
