What pins/connections are you using for your stepper motor if you do have it working, maybe that is what I am misunderstanding?]]> goinreverse General Sat, 06 Feb 2010 03:51:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35223#msg-35223 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35223#msg-35223 Hopefuly soon even that will be supported out of the box. Also the makerbot code supports the use of the sd card printing features which from what ive seen from the mendel code reprap doesnt yet.]]> RBisping General Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:01:04 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35213#msg-35213 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35213#msg-35213 goinreverse General Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:18:31 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35210#msg-35210 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35210#msg-35210 dissidence General Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:26:29 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35165#msg-35165 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35165#msg-35165
There seems to be some further issues with the libraries for the reprap software and 64-bit anything also.]]> goinreverse General Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:12:17 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35124#msg-35124 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,35124#msg-35124
On a more serious note, I haven't used windows for years and years, but I hear the reprap software, skienforge, replicatorG, arduino compile etc. works fine under windows. So in theory there's really nothing much to choose between them, and you should pick whatever you're most comfortable using.

Asking such a question is somewhat akin to "which is better, vim or emacs?" it's what is refered to as a "bikeshed" problem.]]> jgilmore General Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:58:37 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,34894#msg-34894 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,34894,34894#msg-34894 dissidence General Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:23:12 -0500
