Webcam? Raspberry Pi Control?
New MK4 user here, currently using the local PrusaLink which is fine for quick use but I want to have better control over the printer octoprint style (other printer is an ender 3 v2) or at least have a webcam and remote view. What's the method for this?

Some may think this is a dumb question but here goes anyway. I have a mk3s+ and just purchased a mk4. On my mk3x+ I plugged my rp iinto the connectiion on top of my main board. That option is no longer on the mk4. So my fellow printers where do I plug it in now ? The usb port ?
RE: Webcam? Raspberry Pi Control?
USB-C port on the back
RE: Webcam? Raspberry Pi Control?
I am thankful for you responce but all I see on the back is a usb type B port and I tried that without any luck.
RE: Webcam? Raspberry Pi Control?
@xproplayer, the usb-c connector is "small". What you identify as the usb B port is in fact the ethernet port.
See red circle in attached picture.

Thank you so much I didn't see that. I feel really dumb, blind or both. But really greatful.

Can't believe that the mk4 still doesnt support a simple usb webcam plugged directly into it without having to setup a raspberry pi 🙁

That's exactly what I thought... Especially as PrusaLink seems to support a USB camera if you run it on an external RPI. I would have expected their shiny new controller board to let us do the same as well.
