Dear folks, I have built myself an ABS Prusa, which I bought from thereprapkitstore. They are out of bussiness, and I need help. Whatever I try, nothing happens when I hit connect on pronterface.
info: board is Melzi Ardentissimi ATMEGA644P, on computer I have ubuntu, pyhthon, pronterface. I open port with sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0. The green led on the board blinks slowly. Pronterface has one port available: ttyUSB0. Connection speed is 250000, which is also set in configuration.h .
Frankly, if someone had told me the software part of 3d printing was such a nightmare I would have saved for some ready-to run package. I am struggling now for months without having printed anything, and it is exremely frustrating.
So, please help me, how do I conect to my printer?
thanks, Maarten
