Robo C2 Image download link.

Thanks for help and time!
I was able to find two two documents through google web search
1. Rodo Web dashboard. It details you first helpful hint.
2. Connecting the printer via WiFi- Robo Help Center. Step 4 explains how to connect to OctoPrint,

I will be trying both to see where I get.

Being a Forum admin do you know of any other Robo owners in the San Diego are that I can connect with?

 

The web dashboard is working. It did an update. ( I did take notice of this first update) It then forced a reboot. This verifies that the screen is the issue as it is still unresponsive.
The screen continues to display the message [Update available [Later] (in Red) [Update] (in Blue}]
When I select the Play icon ( hover over it it say [STICK] ) the popup screen goes away.
When I do a [Reboot System]] option from the on screen System Menu options the printer does a reboot but the screen still displays the Update Available screen. The computer when back at the Web dashboard displays the error message [The command "reboot system": could not be executed. 503 Service Unavailable.

Is there any way to force the OctoPrint 1.4.0 - rc6 update that cannot be activated by the touch sceen?

Do you have any other tips on what I can do to fix this? Is there ay code on the SD Card that needs to be verified? What file/code config is responsible for the running of the screen?

 

I made a change in the [Software Settings] option in the web interface from [Release] to [Commit] This was recommended by a Orange notice bar that said the [release] setting was non-standard. After rebooting the system again I did not get an [Update available] message but the printer still showed the message [Update available].
I replaced the SD card with the other one I have and when it rebooted it did not go to the [Update Available screen.]

 

This is very Helpful. My ultimate goal it to get the C2 working well enough to offer it up on CraigsList.

I like option to because it will get me a screen that works with any kind of menu.
Can you recommend the menu system that you like the best. Do you have a link to this plugin as well.
I assume that imaging this generic OctoPrint image is the same procedure that i used with the Robo Image.

This option is way better than trying to source a replacement LCD Screen [If it would even work!

My gratitude level of you right now is immense.

 

After Looking at the web pages for OctoPi, Octodash and some videos on You tube for setting up Octodash and Octoscreen. I am overwhelmed with the amount of command line scripting involved.
I do see on the Octodash page under installation that they do provide an installation script . I assume that that you run this after you SSH into the raspberry Pi. But it looks like you have to log in with pi and password raspberry. OKAY but how do you run the installation script.

I can see that my current Robo version of OctoPrint [version 1.3.3] has the [Plug In Manager] option in settings which allows for the installation of new plug ins. Is there a LCD plugin that can be installed to replace the one that Robo has in place?

While on Google I came across SimplyPrint. Do you Know anything about them. They seem to have an easy install process. I am going to try it, They Start with the Raspberry Pi Imager as well.

 

I see now that it is just an alternative OctoPi. Running it again for {stable} 1.0.0 with OctoPrint 1.9.2
options set were
set hostname to raspberry.local
Enable SSH with password authentication

Set up a username and password

I did not configure wifi
Clicked write button

 

Thanks again for your help and your prompt replies. I have more reading to do.

 

Here is my final report now that I have the printer working.

Robo2d Support sent me a link to a SD Card image for the C2 GPIO version. It is different that the one provided in the Forum.
The size is 2,629,632KB in size and dated 8/13/2019. It is the same Version 2.2.0 as the version on the Forum. I tested both and determined that the screen was still unresponsive.

I purchased a new screen from Partsbuilt.com. It cost $45.94 delivered. If you need Robo printer parts I HIGHLY recommend them. They are a man and wife operation. I talked at length with Jonah and there customer service is beyond compare.

The screen arrived in about 5 days and was well packed. The screen works Yeah! The only issues are...
1 The screen connector is now on the bottom instead of the top.
2 The screen colors have changed. The ROBO splash screen is black letters on a green background [same as the manufacturer - Waveshare] The main screen is now a white background instead of black. The buttons are now green instead of blue. Anything that was red is now blue.

I let Robo3d Support that the computer was now working but the colors had changed. Their response was to notify the seller and ask if that was normal.

Here is the bad part. The image I tested first was the SD image that I got from the Forum. It failed on the [Fine Tune Z offset setting]. I set the Z-offset with the [Set Z-offset] menu option and the went to the [Fine Tune Z offset] option. I got an error message [ Your Z Offset is set to -10.5. You must First set you Z offset before Fine Tuning ]. If I tried to print the test print the print nozzle would crash into the print bed.

I put in the SD card made with the image provided by Robo2d Support, the first thing it did was give me a message that it was performing an update and would reboot when done. Note: the printer was not connected to internet and WIFI was not enabled. Running the same procedure as before for Z offset gave me the expected screen that shows three Outcomes of too close too far and just right nozzle setting. I was then able to perform a Fine tune Z offset procedure.

I can provide the SD card image that Robo3D Support provided me if you explain how/where.

 

Could you give me access to the google drive? My email is alexyoungsalt589@gmail.com

 

The Google Drive works now, thank you so much! Also, I am having problems with my LCD screen for my Robo C2 printer, I just got a used one yesterday and the touch screen is unresponsive. The robo 3d printer image/os boots all the way but the screen won't react to my touch. Any tips?

 

I've tried all your recommendations and none of them worked. I tried connecting it to a slightly larger LCD but the touch screen didn't work on that one either. Thanks for your help though. Let me know if you come up with anything else.
