Repetier firmware

[Egon van Engelen]

Im a user of Repetier firmware, but as of now im controlling the printer from my laptop, I have a plan to upgrade the board (gen 7 v 1.5) with a SD card reader + display

Yeah stand alone printing is a big advantage, I'm checking wifi possibilities to make it even more convenient ;o)

I just use a brute force approach. I have an obsolete laptop that is dedicated to running Pronterface and making the printer do things. It is on my wireless network, so I just load what ever GCode I'm going to send to the printer into Pronterface running on the Dinosaur machine and let it rip. For me, the display (and control) on the Dinosaur is superior to what I would get with a little LCD display. And moving a GCode file across a wireless connection is much faster and easier than sticking it on an SD-Memory card and then having to plug that in and select an 8.3 filename....

But to each his own!
