 This quick guide is an example of how you can you a **Raspberry Pi ZERO W** as an Octoprint controller.
-The recommended setup is still to use a Raspi3, as it has more CPU power and full width USB ports, however I do believe a PiZero setup works quite well, and has the benefit to be extremely small, non invasive, and can even fit on the A3S/A5 screws in an elegant way.

-Now - as covered in multiple other tutorials, simply find an image of Octoprint for Pi (https://octoprint.org/download/) flash it on a MicroSD card ( 16 GB or more recommended )

+As the PIZERO doesn't know your network settings yet, mount the flash drive in a PC and edit the network config (
+ **found in /boot/octopi-network.txt** ) for your internal LAN's SSID and password.
+Then put it in the PIZERO, boot it and verify it gets an ip adress (eg : in your router)
+Beware the **PIZERO has two USB ports and you need them both** ( https://www.wmaker.net/einstein2a/photo/art/default/8858432-14028092.jpg?v=1453918540 ) ; the one at the bottom of the case is the "power" one, you simply connect it with a micro usb cable to the USB thumbdrive port on the A5/A3S : it'll power the pi.
+The second one, in the center, is the data port. You connect this one with an OTG adapter to the "blue" data cable (USB2.0 TYPE B, the square port). You can find a micro USB to USB2.0 TYPE B cable, they do exist in china.

 Try connecting to it with it's ip, or maybe http://octopi.local if proper dns resolution is in place.

 ==== Hardware setup ====
-in progress

+Basically : I'm using a 3D printed mount, then use two screws from the vertical rods to tighten it.
+I then find a proper viewing angle, then glue it for good.
+more details later :)//
