FiveD Firmware, Gen6 Board and ReplicatorG

Hi All

Has anyone succeeded in getting the FiveD firmware running on a Gen6 (or other) board to work successfully with ReplicatorG when communications errors occur?

Looking at the RepRap GCode spec when a line needs to be resent due to comms. errors the board should send 'rs nnnn' where nnnn = the line number. In the FiveD code the resend command is 'Resend: nnnn' so ReplicatorG flags it as a unknown line. Having patched this to send ''rs nnnn' I now have a different error.

When I get a line that does not have the correct checksum it requests the line should be resent, if I get another checksum error it requests the wrong line be resent. Looking at both the FiveD and the RelicatorG code I cannot see what is causing this.

Any thoughts, suggestions, or patches will be received with gratitude!

Cheers
Geoff
