raspberry pi zero 2w

[zubzero689]

now to start off i have this bgcode installed on 3b+ and a 4b i was wanting to free up my 4b with my zero 2w but the plugin wont install no matter how i try. i tried in the UI and it just ends up crashing out and i have to restart the zero 2w i did leave it for over 24 hours when this happened the first time just to make sure it had the time. when i try it thru SSH it errors out

now i have made this zero 2w fully up to date and i still get this error at this point i just think the zero 2w insnt compatable

you can't just run that pip command after logging into SSH. you have to activate OctoPrint's venv first.

source /home/pi/oprint/bin/activate
pip install https://github.com/jneilliii/OctoPrint-BGCode/archive/master.zip

but I'm afraid to tell you that it will probably fail there too if it fails from plugin manager. you're better off just disabling the bgcode format completely in PrusaSlicer.

now i was monitoring resources till it stopped outputting and the ram was almost used up but everything else was normal cpu wasnt at high usage network wasnt ether.
I understand if this plugin wont work on pi zero2w i just wanted people to be aware if they come here.
I also understand if you want to mark this as closed this seems to be the end of the line for now.
thanks for the help again

The 2w might be running out of memory during the compile process. I think there's a config.txt line you can add to help with that. Will have to dig it up from one of my other plugins that had similar issues with numpy.

Found it, jneilliii/OctoPrint-BedLevelVisualizer#141 (comment). See if this works. After booting up the pi SSH in and run these commands.

Add additional swap memory

sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

remove additional swap memory after installation and rebooting.

sudo swapoff -v /swapfile
sudo rm /swapfile
