Wifi Connection Setup

Connecting is relatively simple, now that i got it working. The issue? Apperently $ signs within the password are not allowed. I have choosen a different password and now it works.

RE: Wifi Connection Setup

Connecting you must be joking i for one have wasted over 4 hours messing around tying to get the BUDDY 3D to connect to my network? I have been over every single option that is on the forums IE: Rest, no dark theme, clean webpage install, Guest network, easy password ( no special characters in the password ) When scanning the QR code it keeps beeping 6 times until stop scanning is heard then after a few seconds, 3 more beeps? 

Is this a pile of c**p or should i get a replacement/refund Because other cam's work well come on PRUSER SORT IT OUT.

RE: Wifi Connection Setup

I Feel Stupid Now The problem was one of my making There was a space in my SSID that the Buddy Cam 3D did not like obvious fix remove the space all working well now many thx to Prusa support.

S pozdravem, suggested making a hotspot with your phone and fill in the hotspot credentials to Connect to generate the QR code? this showed up the problem.

many thx.

It would be helpful if new cameras shipped came with this memo!

 

Mini+, MK4+MMU3, MK4S, Core One, XL.

RE: Wifi Connection Setup

I think there is a great deal of confusion... It seems there may be 3 (or more) versions of Buddy cameras. The first flavor that I know of looks kinda like a dog or puppy. I think i have a couple of version 2. It seems to me i read about a Buddy camera which is mounted in an enclosure.

Is my observations accurate?

I gave up on the Buddy V2 and am very happy with Wyze cameras. I do not know if they support time‐lapse images.

The Waze cameras are much cheaper than the Buddy cameras. But for my needs I prefer the Wyze. I like the very good night vision, ability to auto track the movements of the printer head and 2-way sound; and the Wyze cameras can be used outside (even in the Oregon rain).

Just wasted several hours of my life only to find out that '\' (forward slash) does not seem to be an allowable special character.  Be nice if Prusa entered the 21st Century.  Buddy Cam may be a nice addition but not if I have to reconfigure everything to get to work.  Maybe they should disclose so we don't buy useless equipment.

I'd try doubling that backslash. For a lot of software, "\" has special meaning - "\\" encodes a single backslash.
