Update: After some serious configuration settings changes, I was able to get the rambo driver to load onto my tablet. Simplify3d is now working great and I can use it to move between multiple printers to start sd card prints. This is exactly what I wanted in the first place so all is great.

Could you post an executive summary of what it took to load the driver on the tablet in case someone runs into a similar problem in the future? The RAMBO's a pretty popular controller, so I think it'd be likely to come up again.

This link sums up the process for most people.

Mine actually took a bit more because Asus likes to be different, and after some time on an Asus support forum I found a process where I had to modify a couple files manually. I would supply that link as well, but I can't seem to find it, and it is not important to anyone using something other than an the same model tablet as mine. I suspect there are other tablets that might have a proprietary procedure and if that is the case, they might need to go to their particular model's support forum and search "disable driver signature enforcement".

I was thinking of using the RaspberryPi to control my M2. I am using it in a highschool and I was thinking about hooking up a monitor and keyboard to a cart that houses the printer and all of the filament etc. I thought the students might also list to see the gcode file running as it is printing.
My question is, can I load Simpilfy3D on to the Pi or should I use Octoprint as it has been suggested earlier?
Thnaks !
