Storage expantion
iLbsLi opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
As the sonic pad have 8GB it got almost full or at least that's what it's telling me when I try to install anything now, even thought I installed only Klipper, Moonraker, Mainsail, Klipperscreen & Crowsnest!
So is that normal? and is there a way around it? is there a way to expand the storage with usb drive?
keep up the good work.
thanks
Sadly it's pretty normal because of a lot of additional software which is needed for compiling Klipper.
This in theory could be removed afterwards and might free up additional space again, but once in a while you would need it again, because for compiling Klipper for flashing onto your printer again.
But you are free to use a USB stick/disk to expand your storage and mount it anywhere in the system and tell Klipper/Moonraker to use this then for storing your GCodes.
As mentioned above you can remove unused packages and reinstall them later when needed. Mounting a usb and using it for Goode should be possible as well.
Closing this issue since I can't really do something about disk space
