How to connect Ender V3 SE to the internet

Ender-3 V3 Printers

I was wondering how I can connect it to the wifi I have in my house the board only has USB A and micro sd

You will need to connect it to something like a Sonic Pad, Nebula pad, Raspberry Pi or similar, this printer does not have any LAN or WIFI connectivity on its own. For that you would need something like the V3KE which has WIFI built in.

Ah ok I have a raspberry Pi 4 What firmware should I put for it?

You’ll need a serial to USB connection from the screen cable to whichever device you choose. I know on my Sonic Pad it creates its own firmware to suit the V3SE for Klipper. Mike will probably give a better answer though.

edit this cable for serial to USB

Download Octoprint and use program like Etcher to write the code to a SD card.
Follow the instruction from the octoprint website to setup a wifi connection.
Install octoprint in the pi then connect the pi via a usb cable to the printer.
Then you can download you prints directly from most slicers and monitor and control the printer from you PC.
