About the OctoGoatBox
Basically, the OctoGoatBox is a dual core Allwinner A20 Android TV Box running a derivative of Debian Wheezy and one or two instances of OctoPrint. We are going to repurpose the generic mass-manufactured Android TV Box hardware into a small Linux PC by booting a custom version of Debian Wheezy with a custom Linux kernel from an SD card. And we'll connect this small OctoPrint server to our LAN either through WiFi or through Ethernet.
Hardware requirements
- Allwinner A20 Android TV Box with 1GB RAM.
- 8GB (or larger) SD Card or microSD card with adapter, class 10.
- (Optional) Inexpensive webcam to make timelapses of or simply monitor our 3D prints.
It is assumed that your work environment includes a local network with an accessible WiFi/Ethernet router.
