It is wired the wireless was too far away to get a good signal

ok. i've got mine wired now and the cpu usage isnt 100% like it was last night while i was viewing the cam. i know signal quality wasn't an issue at all because the pi was only about 7 ft from the base station. i'm guessing either the driver sucks or networking over the usb bus is just too cpu intensive for it in general.

It would be competing for webcam Wi-Fi network card and printer streaming Gcode.

I know that the author of OctoPrint and nophead are looking into a high CPU issue with the Raspberry Pi camera, don't know if it's an issue with other USB cameras.

You can tell her yourself if you want, here is the Google Groups discussion on the high CPU usage with the Raspberry Pi camera: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... PF4XVTxDeg

I have added Fan bracket with LED’s that Dale created. This makes the web camera look much better.

Now I don’t need to leave the light on in the room where the printer is.
I added the printer to my home automation I can turn on/off the printer power from our phones kindles latoptops…
I turn on the power to the printer then startup Octoprint and get everything hot before I go in the room.
The next step is to have octoprint turn off the printer power when the print is done. The G code turns off everything but the power supply but I will have it turn that off also.

I have been just copying the print files to the raspberry Pi and printing from there. I have not had one issue with this and I have printed for many hours doing this.

That reminds me, check out nophead's blog for some updates on the CPU issue. Hydraraptor.blogspot.com, I believe. I saw recently that he had a post on some settings to reduce CPU/bandwidth usage.
