OctoPi/ OctoPrint setup on Anycubic Vyper
Appears some people are frightened of delving into the wonderful world that is OctoPi for fear of the setup. It really is not at all difficult to do, but for those that learn visually here's part one in the setup videos.
Please note: I made an error setting the pi cam, although it works, you should pref use the native picam resolutions which for picam v1.3 would be 1296x730 NOT 1440 x 720 as I used in the vid!
This video will take you through flashing the Pi OS (Octoprint) onto the SD card, one quick edit of a file (2 lines to change) and thats pretty much it you are into the first run wizard.
If you wish to just copy and paste the cam configs here a few options for you to choose, just copy the line you want and paste it into the file..
