MK4 support for FlashAir needed

After reading all the mess around an issue affecting the PrusaLink wireless file transfer that often corrupt the gcode file during the wireless transfer on the IS 5.0.x firmware, I though to insert a FlashAir SD on the MK4, exactly like the one that I am using since years with zero issues on the MK3S.

But when I went on the LCD settings to set SD-type = FlashAir, I noticed that the settings is gone in the MK4 firmware 😣 

I will do some tests to see if the MK4 will recognize just added/modified files via FlashAir or I will need to unplug & replug the FlashAir dongle each time a add a file.

- Anyone of you has tried to use FlashAir on the MK4 ?

Yes, I tried using a FlashAir card in an adapter that plugs into the MK4 USB port. I could see the storage on my network but could not write to it. There are other threads here about this as well. I haven't tried in a few months so came back here to revisit posts and threads and saw yours first. Have you had any success?

No, it does not work. The FlashAir is not supported on the MK4.

I switched to the PrusaLink, and for the moment I am happy with it. I use the original PRUSA USB. I will try also PrusaConnect.

Regards
