Prusa Mini: Connect a camera that can also control the printer?
I noticed that Mintion are selling a camera that connects to the USB port, which allowing remote view of the print, remote control, and also take a video of the print process.
They claime that Prusa Mini is supported, but they don;t know if the Mini (without the plus) is supported.
I think that is the Mini+ is supported, so should be the Mini, because the difference is not related to the main board and firmware.
I sent a question about that to Mintion. They replied fast withy: we don't know, "Do you have a Camera and use it on the printer, "Use the custom type in the model"?"
I have a few questions:
1- If it works on the Mini+, its should work on the Mini, right?
2- Did anyone try it? Any recommendation?
3- Any other stand alone solutions like that? (unlike RPI+Octoprint for example), because the beagle brings also wifi connection
RE: Prusa Mini: Connect a camera that can also control the printer?
I have the strong impression that this camera only works with printers that are equipped with an 8-bit motherboard.
There is a mini in their list, but that is not a printer but the SKR mini board.
That is an update controller for the Creality Ender 3 printer series.
I therefore think that this camera will not work in combination with a Prus mini (+) printer.

How do you know it is the SKR board?
The Prusa Mini has the buddy, and only buddy, right?
I will ask them directly (they answered fast !), yet I find it strange that a modern product will have such a limitation.
RE: Prusa Mini: Connect a camera that can also control the printer?
As you can see in the picture, only prusa I3 MK3s+ printer is compatible with their camera.
If it were the case that the Prusa mini (+) was compatible, that would have been mentioned there as well.
So I'm curious what their answer will be.
RE: Prusa Mini: Connect a camera that can also control the printer?
OK. in that case it should also work with the mini.
The mini+ printer has the same board as used in the mini.
