Step 1: Unboxing
In the hub box there are a couple items:
🟪 Hub PC
🟦 Power cord
Step 2: Connections
🟪 Plug in the power cord into the Hub PC.
Once connected to power the PC should boot automatically, if this does not happen just press the power button.
🟦 If using ethernet, plug an ethernet cable in.
🗈We recommend a wired ethernet connection rather than WiFi, though either will work.
❌The hub must be connected to the same network as the printers and the UI.
Step 3: WiFi
Step 4: Checking Connection with the UI
- Opening the UI (on the same network) you can check your connection to the hub.
🟪 Both icons in the lower right of the UI will be green.
- left icon shows the app is online
- right icon shows the hub is on
🟦 Go to the hub watcher panel in the UI.
🟩 In the top of the hub watcher panel, there should be a hub IP address.
🟨 The nodes will not be running automatically, so before you send a print, click the “Start Hub Nodes” button at the bottom of the hub watcher panel.
- When pressed, give it a moment to launch, but all the nodes except the “maincom” node should start and show a ✅ in their row.
Step 6: Useful commands to know
If you run into issues, here are a few useful console commands to know for the hub.
rb; reboots the hub up; updates gitup; updates then does a fresh git pull ros; dispays the node statuses, ip address of the hub, and hub id number build; rebuilds the nodes
There is also a file on the desktop listing commands including how to reinstall the hub. This may be removed in the future.
