Hey all, having some trouble getting my pi 3 up and running correctly. Since i’m new to both the pi and octoprint i’m running a bit in the dark, but i’m a linux user, so i have the basic skills to troubleshoot and fix things usually. I’ve tried using the latest nightly build of octopi since apparently the pi 3 is so new that there is not yet a stable build for it. Some people said the nightly builds work fine on a pi 3, but that was awhile back and now some say they don’t.
Having formatted my sd card and imaged the latest nightly build the pi seems to boot up and get running. I am able to ssh into it from my machine, but when i tried the web browser it didn’t work. Using the shell through ssh i am able to troubleshoot a bit. Trying to run octoprint manually and/or running various commands to see if it’s even running seem to show that octoprint is not running. Someone also said to check my router to see if it shows up in the device table (which i also needed to figure out it’s ip) and instead of having a device name of “octoprint” it has a device name of raspberrypi. Just a wild guess at this point, but maybe someone goofed and the current nightly build is not for octoprint, but instead is a default raspberrypi image??
Browsing through the sd card folders manually there does seem to be folders with octoprint stuff in them, but apparently octoprint is not running by default. Also, i guess it doesn’t matter until octoprint is running, but there is no wifi text file in the root folder for me to configure the wifi settings.
Perhaps i just need to wait for a stable build, but there were others who said they already had pi 3’s up and running with their mini’s.
