Noob Question concerning OctoPrint
Hey,
I somehow couldn't find a definite answer to a basic question I got concerning Octoprint + Prusa i3 mk3 as I've just finished setting Octoprint up. When I upload a print job via octoprint and start it, does the raspberry take over the control of the printer or is the einsy still executing everything? Does Octoprint use the mesh bed leveling I did before setting up octoprint? In other words: Can I just upload a sliced file with all my usual settings via Octoprint, start, and everything will be alright?
Thanks in advance!

Hi finn
The raspberry take over the control. As far as I know only a few lines of code are buffered on the einsy board itself. The Raspberry continously sends the gcodes to the board. Regarding mesh leveling. The octoprint sends only the command (G28 i think) to the einsy mainboard. Then the mainboard executes accordingly the necessary steps and stores the mesh leveling information on it's board. Normally you can just upload the sliced file with your settings to octoprint and start the job. There is one thing about the scripts (Start code / End code / Pause etc.) There is also a possiblity to store the scripts on octoprint itself. Just make sure you have them only at one side. Also note that varables in the scripts are different. Octoprint won't understand all or some of the slicer's variable and vis a versa.
