Prusa Printer Paradox

I have three printers of the Prusa i3 mks+ variety, I want to use a micro:bit to connect my Macbook to the Prusaslicer so that I can print wirelessly, is there any way that I could do that? And if so, how?

Thanks in advance!

??

Please explain more - PrusaSlicer already runs on MacOS and Microbit wireless comms are extremely limited.

Cheerio,

RE: Prusa Printer Paradox

Micro:bit itself has only Bluetooth on it and AFAIR Bluetooth TCP/IP stack be problematic.

If you want to use wifi it would require something like IoT:bit ( which uses ESP8266 or ESP32).

All in all raspberry pi zero would be just cheaper and easier to do and is supported already.Micro:bit would require some development and  probably some coding of the modules in lower level than their default stack (unless someone already did it). 

All in all Raspberry Pi Zero W would be just cheaper and easier to do and is supported already.

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.
