I have a 2.4 in progress right now and of course I still haven’t gotten a raspberry pi 4 yet. I know people have used raspberry pi zeros as a substitute, but I plan to use a webcam (I think I saw somewhere before that it might be too heavy). Does anyone have this setup?

I have a Le Potato and I’m very comfortable with linux, but I’d just rather not deal with the troubleshooting and work that might come with using a different platform.

    I actually just finished my 2.4 with a le potato, I used kiauh to set everything up and have had 0 issues on that side, only thing I’m working through is trying to get i2c going for a tool head accelerometer, otherwise 0 issues. There’s a solid reddit post on getting setup with the le potato that I found helpful, I ended up going that way over the rpi 2 I have

    Edit: didn’t realise going in that klipper wants the adxl345 to be connected through SPI and while got the i2c up no issue, SPI was a different story, ended up wiring directly to an SPI header on the octopus. So a quick update that while it’s easy getting the le potato to run the entire thing, bit more fiddly to get other features going
