Hello everyone,

I have just finished assembling the Mendel, but when I try to connect my computer with my Melzi, it always shows that the printer is not oline. And the log shows that :
Hotend temperature presets updated, pla:205, abs:250
Bed temperature presets updated, pla:85, abs:120
Bed temperature presets updated, pla:85, abs:120
Hotend temperature presets updated, pla:205, abs:250
Unknown variable 'bed_size_x'
Unknown variable 'bed_size_y'
Connecting...

Can't read from printer (disconnected?).


As for other instructions, I have installed the python and dependencies in correct orders. Moreover, the drive for Melzi works well and the red LED on Melzi is blinking.
Can anyone help me? Thank you!

well, I have changed the baud rate to 250000. Then it seems work well, but I have checked the instructions of reprap wiki and the baud rate should be 115200. So I have got confused!
Anyway, I decide to work with 250000 for the other commissioning instructions.
