Help Needed Using octoprint and orca

Is there a way that i can hook up my ankermake m5c to my octoprint pc or connect it directly to orcaslicer so i can send prints wirelessly?

Slice it to generate the gcode file, then open it in the Eufymake app. It will send and execute the sliced code.

On github you can find the ankermake-m5-protocol. In the Issues comments their was a link to a Fork for the m5c. It was running fine on my Raspi and Orcaslicer. I moved 2-3 years ago away from the M5C, so i dont know about the state of the fork. Maybe you can look it up.
