twice and it would sure save me a lot of sneakernetting to get

on its build plate.
You might be able to get this working using `socat` or maybe `ser2net`,
but I don't know enough about such printers to be sure.
I suspect that the possible timing issues introduced by a network
connection might be problematic. I suspect that the command that
actively drives the ttyACM0 device will be happier if it can live on
your rock64 machine.
I mean what good is all this networking if it can't be used?
Usually I do things like `ssh <host> printcmd` to save myself from having
to go through that kind of healthy physical exercise.

Thanks Stefan. I think I've got octoprint working again. But its
obviously not a multiple
printer friendly since the output port it will use is not in the printer
profile, but in main.
I've got 2 rock64's, but not a monitor/keyboard/mouse switcher. So I
could setup a 2nd
rock64 if I had room for the extra keyboard, monitor and mouse. Or a kvm
switch.
I'm closer to having the ender5plus working as the printrun kit's
pronsole, which doesn't
need the gui, connects to and has configured the Ender5plus now, so now
I need to
make a bass ackwards prox switch act like a BLTouch. So if I setup a 2nd
rock64 with octoprint,
and get the bed leveling working on the Ender5plus, I'll be in hog
heaven. Then I can use
mc to copy cura's output to the correct rock64 for an automatic print.
So I'm off to find a kvm switch.
Take care and stay well,
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
