    Hello All, my never ending project is of course never ending. I have enabled VNC server in the config but cannot connect with a VNC Client. I tried to follow the online guides for downloading VNC servers but my updates give me nothing but 404 errors. Did i mess up some of the network settings or am I missing something else?

    On the pi? Did you do it with RaspiConfig?

    I did… sudo raspi-config and enabled VNC… then I tried to install two different VNC server applications and got 404 errors each time.

    You did not need to install any :) Just enable it.

    VNC Server comes preinstalled on Raspberry Pi

    https://www.realvnc.com/en/blog/how-to-setup-vnc-connect-raspberry-pi

    Maybe start with with a fresh copy of the Robo OS (the Sd card originally in the Pi) which is nothing more than an older version of Raspbian with some custom software to drive the LCD screen on the printer. Do not upgrade to a newer version of Raspian or you will break the LCD software (it is not compatible with later versions). If you don't care about the LCD menu -- go crazy :) There are other Menu systems for OctoPi that will work with the LCD, but not using the menu that Robo provided.
