Firmware Update over Prusalink
Printer firmware updates over the prusa link would be great
also it would be way easier to be able to update the prusalink firmware in the UI linke in octoprint
RE: Firmware Update over Prusalink
Yeah.
For those of us using a USB connected Pi, should be cakewalk. Why I had to unplug my Pi, lug over and connect my laptop, flash (for an x.xx.1 upgrade!) is silly. Oh, then put everything back together as before.
But, we are in a Beta. Which, in my old school IT world, would be an Alpha. A Beta was feature complete, just stamping out bugs. But, anyway, the Prusa dudes are making progress. I expect a torrent of activity before the XL comes out. And, I really like where it is going.
Hopefully, somebody is taking notes over there. Good ideas are priceless. Little details make big differences.
Don’t trust forum advice.
RE: Firmware Update over Prusalink
This is because we would have to update the bootloader on every single printer. You know what happens when you fail to update the bootloader right? We might end up short of updating the printers using the rpi pins. Don't know if they'll want to have an extra USB feature. Maybe? We'll see where this all goes. It wasn't the idea that was hard to come by, at least not in this case. It's the people that are willing to go through the five brick walls, that will bug others with it for over two years straight and the management willing to take the risk just to get a nice to have feature implemented. That's the hard part.
