The main advantage of printing from sd card is that you eliminate the slow
serial link. If you can let a rasPie act as a SPI slave, then by all means
go for it. I'm not sure, but I think it can also drive an LCD, so you just
need a slightly bigger housing to make it act like an Ulticontroller+.
But then again, a cheap android tablet becomes an option too, if you figure
out a way to make one of its output pins as a SPI slave.

Wow, for a third of that price you can put a raspberry pi board (well, once=
<br>
it&#39;s readily available that is) with WiFi under the Ultimaker. I guess =
it<br>
should be possible to get printrun running in a VNC session.<br>
<br>
But two-way communication with an SD card sounds cool, hopefully the price<=
br>
will drop in the not so far future :-).<br>
