Using wi pi adapter]]> Ok folks finally after struggling this is what I observed. When you have this issue for some reason when I edited my file in OS X when I used the ( " ) in pi those quotes looked like some kind of box. So I logged in to the octopi server with a keyboard and screen and edited the file in that with the shift 2 and for what ever reason that made the correct kind of quotes. Then WhallA!

Using wi pi adapter]]> Im having the exact same problem and can't for the life of me get it working on my Wifi. But yet I can go in to Noobs and configure the WIFI settings and the Dongle then works. But on Octopi nothing. I checked both my router to see if I was having the same issue. I checked my Octopi network file multiple times. I just don't get it.

I upload g-code from slic3r so I won't be help with the on-board Cura, I bet someone else can chime in though.

Using wi pi adapter]]> I have octoprint working!  I'm prepared for you all to make fun of me for this...  I had my router set to WEP not WPA2, so of course doing everything right under WPA2 didn't do any good until I changed my router settings.  Go ahead, tell me how stupid I am.  If it helps, the wife was the one home when the verizon guy came and setup this router so she just accepted all the defaults and I never went back to check it even though I've been in this house over a year.  Oh well.

So now I have to get cura working within Octoprint.  I found my .ini files to import but it won't "accept" clicking on the confirm button, like it is still expecting more.  How can I get it to take this file so that I have something to pick from when I go to slice an object?  Thanks again!

Using wi pi adapter]]> Yes, I did a full format before.  I'm using the adapter called the wipi, its made just for the raspberry pi and was supposed to be the easiest to install.  I will be looking for an older version of octopi, any suggestions on where to start?  I don't see it on the official webpage.

Did you format the SD card before putting kronikabuse's image on the card? I can't see what he sent you, but if you had to pick an OS it sounds like someone sent you a copy of NOOBS and not a copy of OctoPi.

What brands of wifi adapters are you using? Not that I know much about them anyway.

If you want to start from scratch I can probably help you by writing up a step by step. Otherwise, try downloading an older version of OctoPi and find which one has the wifi GUI that's easiest for you.

Using wi pi adapter]]> So I got a new octoprint image from kronikabuse but I can't load is because it says it is out of space when the pi boots and you go to pick an OS, even though there is 6+ GB available on the card.  Google has turned up multiple things to try, none of which have worked yet.

Also downloaded noobs and there is also no wifi GUI there, so something is very strange.  Everyone says octoprint is easy, but here I am with about 25+ hours and 2 wifi adapters and still can't even get the damn thing connected to wifi.

Does anyone else have an octoprint image you can send me to try? PM me for email address.  Thanks.

Using wi pi adapter]]> I did that and rebooted and still no wifi.  Kronikabuse pointed out to me in PM that my octopi is completely missing the wifi GUI.  It is the latest version from their own webpage so that is strange.  Proceeding with his image that he sent me now...

# iface wlan0 inet dhcp

Not sure about the line under, but on mine I removed that comment too.

elmoret, thanks.  That was it.

I did the changes described in the link from widespreaddeadhead but it broke the file, it now throws up an error when it boots.  Here is a screen shot:

Is there something else that has to be uncommented?  I' not sure where the error is.  Thanks.

And I'm too lazy to edit out my wifi network and password but its not like you guys are in range and I don't reuse passwords.

My work blocks the picture links, but I'll look at it when I get home. Mine throws up an error on boot up also, but check the dongle lights, mine stills works with the error. Might be different than yours though, will report back tonight.
