    Hey guys!

    Quick question, could I use octoprint or astroprint via a raspberry pi and still be able to make on the fly changes with the XXL LCD controller?

    I'd like to have the functionality of both so that I can shut prints down remotely or monitor them, but I'd also like to be able to just use an LCD to make quick changes.

    The LCD controller should override whatever slicer/controller/host program you use.
    I use an LCD and OctoPrint to wirelessly print on my delta. Works like a champ

    Mind you you would need to override it after starting a print or the GCode will (obviously) be the last thing loaded :)
    But while printing you can tweak away
