To print from the micro SD card and Viki

Format the micro SD card as FAT 32
Rename the G code files using the 8.3 naming convention (PRINTOO1.gco) before you save them to the SD card.
If you save a file to the SD card that does not comply to the 8.3 naming convention then you must reformat the SD card.
Insert the SD card into the Viki

Starting the print

From Pronterface –
Click on the SD button at the top of the screen. A dialog box will open with a list of files on the SD card.
Choose the file you wish to print and click start to begin the print.
Remove the USB cable from the computer and allow Gigabot to print.

From the Viki

Press the center button on the scroll wheel
Rotate the wheel to highlight the Print from SD option
Click the center button to choose this option
Rotate the wheel to choose your file and click center button to begin printing
Note: Using a Mac computer to transfer files to the microSD card will automatically cause the Fat32 formatting to become null and invalid.
