Updated Repetier Host yesterday and nothing works (should have stuck with 90c

So I update Repetier Host yesturday with the latest and greatest version... now nothing works. Somehow something is different. I have looked through the log, from what I can see and there are three commands that are unknown. It could be just a call back for one of them. I am not sure why updating the software would afflict the controller card so badley (arduino ramp 1.4), I reloaded the firmware just to make sure that nothing happened or was overwritten by the software, and still no luck. I even went as far as unistalling Repetier Host (new version), cleaning the registry, and then reinstalling the old version. Still nothing...

I have been reading that this is happening for various people.. even the mention that this error is based within .net framework. For an experiment I am going to compile "Sprinter" firmware, as this update might benifit more their own firmware and restore the printer. If it a .net framework error, that is a little out of my scope.

Here is the log that I get upon starting my conncection.

Any Help would be appreciated..

Pronterface works fine, but that isn't really what I was looking to achieve.

The issue isn't with the controller, but rather that Repeiter Host isn't communicating properly with the controller. It smells like a speed or other serial setting mismatch between the card and RHost's settings.

Did you check to make sure your port speed settings are good, and that it's using the right transfer protocol (Autodetect, ASCII, or Repeiter)?

It could be something just slightly off (e.g. 111112 vs 115200 speed setting)..

If it's a .NET issue, that's easily looked into. [www.microsoft.com] has downloadable versions of .NET and some tips on troubleshooting it.

hope that helps.

Try disabling send ETA in printer settings. I have seen that some languages use characters not allowed or confusing firmware. That is the only real difference in communication and should only happen when printing not for manual control.
