Connect Octodash with USB

[RedSquirrell]

I have octoprint running on a raspberrypi connected with wifi. My wifi is not that great. So could i install Octodash on a different pi and have them connected to eachother via USB?

Connecting octodash and octoprint via USB is not possible, but if you were to have a cable between the two pi's you can set up an ethernet cable instead of USB, to allow octodash to connect to the remote octoprint.

Ah ok. I will try it with a ethernet cable, thank you.

you will need a router between the two pi's (or between your printer's pi and computer) in order for them to get reachable IP addresses. If you set an ethernet cable, then you'll be as good running octodash on the printer's pi and connecting remotely to it via ethernet, and let octodash connect to octoprint locally on the pi.
