OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater VS OctoPrint-BLTouch

After reading some more seems like you CAN do it, but I was either too scared or didn't know about it in Mid-2021

Firmware Updater Useful for flashing firmware to printer without having to use sd card. Frees up an sd card for me

I have 2 skr 1.4 turbo boards and before I switched to klipper I always updated my firmware using the firmware updater plug in for octoprint. On the github page it guided you through setup for that board family. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I followed the install instructions from this link. I installed the python 3 compatible version of heat shrink.

Method 3 (Through Octopi) - I installed Anaconda to download the firmware updater for Octopi found here (https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/) but cannot install it through the command line. I get "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.". Tried upgrading pip to no avail.

if you have an Raspberry pi you can try https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I'm not sure if this OctoPrint plug-in works with the neptune 2 but it's worth a shot. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

You need a plugin called Firmware Updater.

Only if you already have Binary File Trainsfer setting enabled in Marlin. So you might be stuck since that's not normally enabled. But when it is enabled, it does work. I only update via octoprint anymore. https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater/blob/master/doc/marlinbft.md

BLTouch plugin Bed visualization plugin Like the title says, I've been having issues with the BLTouch and not adjusting the Z height when going over the left side of the bed. When I try to update the mesh through OctoPi, I do get a new mesh, but after the 9th point is probed, it'll restart the probing from point #1 with no way to stop this process.
