Hi, got my octopi set up visible across the internet with its camera showing my printer, I can see it via 4G on my phone, everything looks sweet.
The one fly in the ointment is that I can’t get Octoprint to connect to the Vertex. Not sure why. Tried various baud rates and the serial port it defaults to, but it just hangs.
Has anyone done this yet?

Hi
here are my settings
If it helps
OK, well that doesn’t look any different, other than the port id.
How do you initialise the Pi? I’d like, at some point, to wire the Pi to the 5V supply on the board, so that when I switch the Vertex on, the Pi boots up and connects automatically.
But at the moment I have it powered via a separate USB hub (the printer is plugged into the Pi, not the hub). There isn’t some sequence of booting up I should follow, i.e. switch printer on first, then plug it into the Pi, then boot up the Pi? I read on some forums that connection issues were sometimes down to whether the printer was connected and on during the Pi boot up.

Right now I do: (will do something like you latter on)
I connect PI to a external power source and then turn on Vertex then after boot up I connect Vertex to PI (Refreshes the “web site”) and selects USB0 and 250000 band and click connect.
(Can do testes if you want)

Got it working? I have exactly the same issue here.
Yes, I use a simple voltage reducer and connect to the power supply for the printer. Works very well bolted to the bottom of the Vertex, with a picam on a long cable sending video of the print. Like this I can go to work and stop a print remotely if it detaches from the bed.
