Been awhile since I've posted. I'm trying to get my gen 1 electronics to play nicely with the reprap-host-linux-20090804 distribution. My problems stem from the fact that the host seems to have arduino set as the only possibility for the gen 1 electronics. I've got the pic based ones and it won't talk to them over the usb-serial adapter.
A bit more infos...I've tested and verified the cable via minicom and shorting the rx-tx lines. I get all I send in back nicely. I've insured that the drivers are installed via lsusb, and dmesg. It all plays together nicely.
Setting my preferences in the host so that it tries to communicate with the machine over /dev/ttyUSB0 gives me no love because the program on the terminal tells me that:
"""
DEBUG: Attempting to initialize Arduino [0.724s/707ms]
sendMessage error - retrying
sendMessage error - retrying
sendMessage error - retrying
...
"""
I've set the machine to SNAPRepRap in the preferences but to no effect. I cannot get it to try and talk to a pic version of the gen 1 electronics.
As a note, I'm trying to run this from my Acer AspireONE netbook which does not have a DB9 port. This converter is the only way for me to run it.
Some help would be wonderful. Telling me how to turn off this default behavior would be perfect. Making my machine perform like Nophead's would be divine!
