new to printing : cannot connect PRUSA I3 with MKS V 1.1 July 02, 2015 12:31AM |
Hello,
I've got a new prusa i3, which I bought from another person.
The card is a MKS V1.1, windows 8.1 . My computer doesn't recognize it when I plug in the usb port (I have the sound, but repetier or cura doesn't let me control it or launch a print with US
.
What can I do?
Thank you!

You should connect the MKS board and see the devicemanager for the COM port it is assigned to.
Then use the same COM port in Cura or repetier.
I don´t know the default BAUD rate of the MKS, but you can try 250000 and see if it connects.
If you don´t see the MKS board in Win dev manager, you might have payed to much for the printer...

don´t forget to disable auto-update in windows....
I´ve learned in arduino world, that they are always behind the schedule and need some time to adapt their IDE to the newest drivers.
I´m sure that other openSource programs have the same trouble ( repetier, Cura, printrun, etc. )
