Pronterface question
January 31, 2014 06:46AM
Hi again, my second post.
The reprappro firmware wilki shows the menu items under file :- Upload config and Upload reprap.html but when I run Pronterface these items are missing.
I followed the link from the installation guide of my Ormerod and assumed that I had downloaded the correct reprappro version.
What I downloaded was RepRapPro-Printrun-Slic3r.zip and in that zip is pronterface.exe version 0.1.0.0 dated 23/05/2013
Is this the correct version and if not how do I get the correct file.
Thank you for any help
Paul

Sadly RRP hasn't produced a precompiled version of Pronterface with those features. To get them, and also to do a patch you need to get direct print over USB working properly and file upload working at a better speed, you need to follow the instructions after "Advanced – For Windows/Mac/Linux –" at [www.reprappro.com].

Thank you for the reply, I tried your suggestion but failed when my system said that python was not found.
I will need to research this.

In Windows Explorer, browse to pronterface.py, right-click on it and select "Open with". Then browse to python.exe or pythonw.exe in the Python installation directory (typically C:\Python27). The difference between python.exe and pythonw.exe is that the former also opens a command shell window, in which any startup error messages are displayed.

Your next step is to apply the Pronterface patch to allow direct print over USB and file upload at 2Mb/sec. See step 4 at [forums.reprap.org].
