Just noticed a flaw in my plan to use this Raspberry Pi Model 3 A+ I have laying around as an Octoprint server:

Only one USB port means no video feed :(

This might be ambitious for a Raspberry Pi but, you could try running a VNC server?

@kosame Oh, I mean I have no additional USB port in which to plug a webcam into (the only port is in use connecting to the printer).

@requiem

Ah, is there a reason why a USB hub wouldn't work?

@kosame that would probably work (and if powered, probably work better than one of the Pi's ports) but I'm trying to keep everything compact and mounted to the printer.

This is part of what led me to using the A, because it's smaller, but now it's just making things more complicated :)

@requiem

Also, idk why I thought you connected monitors using USB. I should sleep.
