Hi All,
I'm building my own 3D ptr using an StDuino Mega 2560 "Arduino-compatible" board with an Ultimaker RAMPS 1.4. After lots of hassle trying to connect I found the correct USB driver on the manufacturer's site (Makerlab.me), since this does not use the FTDI USB chip.
First Problem: The USB > COM port driver appears to have installed correctly, but when I connect the USB cable Device Manager (Win 7) sees it as a Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge on COM3, not an Arduino of any sort.
I was able to use the Arduino IDE to upload Marlin and that appears to have loaded correctly too, no errors. I then loaded a newer Marlin with ReplicatorG 0040, again, no errors.
Second problem: When I try to use a printer controller - I've tried Printrun, Repetier-Host and ReplicatorG - none will connect to the board.
I've tried the manufacturer's forums (Makerlab.me) and although the translation from basic Chinese is pretty good, I cannot find an fix, nor post a question to the forum - each time the page translates you get logged out. . .
Any ideas as to what to look for first would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
