  • octo4a

    Use your old Android device as an OctoPrint server.

  • One good use I came across the other day is to use your old android phone as a server for OctoPrint, a 3D printer controller that runs off a web interface. I am going to give this a try using my old OnePlus 3T.

  • AccA

    Acc app allows to edit acc config file and add a tile to start and stop acc deamon

  • Hmm, since this is Android, would a rooted phone running AccA† to limit maximum charge work?
