Hi jarmilitao

What version of java are you using?

Hi xsainnz,

I am using Sun jre1.6.0_03.

There is a config file named reprap.properties - it's a normal text file, so open it e.g with the Editor, search for

Port(name)=/dev/ttyS0

and change it to

Port(name)=COM1

I'm using Linux so I don't know where you can find this file on windows, maybe in the reprap-host folder or just search for it...

In windows reprap.properties is in C:\Documents and Settings\***your user name***\.reprap\

Hi again,

I found the file.

Also found somewhere in this forumm that Java should be versiom 6. I found a version 6 on Sun site but after instaling it says it is "1.6.0_10-rc".
Reprap-host now gives the error bellow.

Thanks.

Hi again.

Just to say that I already can open the RepRap window.

I had to unistal the j3d package and install it again.
The problem was that I installed the j3d when I just have the jre1.6 so after installing the jre6 we have to unistall the package and reinstall it again.

So now I have the host software running but still with too much Exceptions for my taste.

Any suggestion is wellcome!

Thanks.

Did you find a solution to your last problem? I'm also getting that exception on startup, in windows:

Thanks for any info you can provide,

Hi.

It was long time ago ... but I think it disapeared after the installation of the j3d package (for windows is the file j3d-1_5_2-windows-i586.exe).

Regards.

Ah, turns out my thermistor was connected incorrectly- once I moved it from digital 0 to analog 0 the refreshTemperature() exception stopped showing up.

I can't get anything to move in Reprap, I am running windows xp pro.
I have my COM4 set and the bits per sec. 19200 . I would like to see someones working Reprap.BAT file so I can compare it with the one I have.
please help
