octo4a VS Marlin

If you have a spare old(ish) Android phone you can look into Octo4A. Just be sure to connect the phone via power blocked USB cable to avoid your phone charing the printer... And you need a phone you can charge and use USB host at the same time. Some allow this via split cables (Type-c dongles) or if your phone has wireless charging.

As the video mentions https://github.com/feelfreelinux/octo4a :D I did need to get an adapter splitter and I only got it to work on a phone with USBC port, so nothing super old.

If you have a Android phone (or tablet), you can use the octo4a app.

At the bottom of the first post, this is what they recommend for Octo4A

I am honest, it is a bit more complicated and failure prone, but absolutly doable. octo4a

I run Octoprint on my laptop. Old Android phone is also an option.

I really need help with this one. I use an android tablet with Octo4a (https://github.com/feelfreelinux/octo4a) and some plugins work fine but f.e. octolapse not and I get this report.

For whoever needs to know what I mean by Octo4A please visit the developers GitHub: https://github.com/feelfreelinux/octo4a

here is a repo that works, with some tweaks

I have Alex's firmware here for the 427 the main thing about Alex's and the Aquila lcd is the encoder is backwards.

u/classicrocker883 has been attempting to do a version that supports the C2 display but not sure of the progress. I think this is his latest version for it.

I have it enabled here https://github.com/classicrocker883/Marlin/releases/tag/v2.0.1

Alex's firmware is great! I have compiled a better faster version of his on my github here. if u ever feel like homing and probing could be faster, and there are some upgrades as well.

and here is mine which is exactly like Alex's but faster and a bit better
