Installing Armbian and OctoPrint on an Orange Pi
Due to depricated methods, this tutorial no longer works. For a new way to get OctoPrint running on your Orange Pi, along with getting your webcam to work, check this video out.
• Running OctoPrint with Cam Support in Dock...
For this tutorial, you'll need a Windows PC, a micro-sd card reader, an Orange Pi (should work on Zero, One, Lite, and PC, possibly others) , a minimum 4gb MicroSD card, and a power supply for your Pi. This tutorial also requires you to be able to network into your Pi, but you can issue all these commands from the terminal window in Ubuntu if you prefer.
Commands issued here :
Update and upgrade your OS
1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get upgrade
Create your user and give it sudo permissions
3. sudo adduser octoprint
4. sudo usermod -a -G tty octoprint
