is there a road map / plan to get prusa link on raspi to support 3.5 through 4?

integrated prusa link/connect is fine, but i would love cameras to monitor remotely and using the onboard doesn't provide that.

Hi, sorry, it does not work. Octoprint is made to work with any printer, my thing expects precise answers to gcodes and breaks if it does not get them. So it falls apart pretty much instantly.

Before I send too much time trying to see if this will work, I'm wondering if PrusaLink 7.0rc3 should be able to connect to the MK4?

I've installed the image on a Pi and see it trying to connect to /dev/ttyAMC0 unsuccessfully. When I swap the card in the Pi to an OctoPrint image it usable to successfully connect and print via /dev/ttyAMC0.

I SSHed into the PrusaLink Pi and did a little poking around but thought it might be much faster to chime in here...

(The reason for all of this is that the little WiFi module included with the MK4 has a very slow transfer rate. Sending with a Pi's WiFi is MUCH faster...)
