Thanks I always thought you should be wary of the Taniwha! Ubuntu 10.10 32bit Downloaded rxtx-2.1-7r2.zip Added line to /src/RXTXCommDriver.java as advised file looked a little different. Compiled then just moved the RXTXComm.jar to the reprap folder and Success!! Much appreciated thank you.by sawjam - Controllers
Thanks David Decided to go for digi-key the post was mainly out of my frustration with getting it printing then through a school boy error trashing the thermistor and hoping they may be some on shore supplies! (I've made a few errors along the way too, when the wiki say's check polarity of the power supply then take note! As this is also a cause for some frustration when traces get burnt off yoby sawjam - New Zealand RepRap User Group

I've managed to compile repsnapper and got a connection to the board but think I need to start a new thread now. (Although it would be nice to sort out the reprap host software issue even tried the latest nightly build and no joy.

Hi Sorry my bad the port is /dev/ttyACM0, I've been using the Rep rap host software, couldn't compile the repsnapper software. I can connect with the arduino IDE, but not the RepRap host software, I've flashed the bootloader on the mega 2560 still no joy? I'm currently working through compiling repsnapper, the instructions missed libgtk2.0-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev so it woby sawjam - Controllers
Did any resolution come from this? I've ditched the sanguino due to comms issues meaning I was getting nowhere, so I decided to take the plunge and go for a arduino mega 2560, now I'm struggling with Can't open port: \dev\ttyACM0 Ubuntu 10.10 pololu steppers on stripboard (non working mega!)
