Hi,
I've had the mendel90 for a while, it worked great, straight out ofthe box.
i've had it on a shelf for a couple of month, and today I had some problems getting it started. (on another laptop)
the first problem was connecting from pronterface,
i'd press connect and it would just hang,
i played with the baud rate , and nothing helped,
then i went to device manager, ports, com3 and raied the baud rate from 9600 to 115200 ,
then i went to pronterface and raised it to 250000, and i finally got it to connect, including moving XY etc.
i don't know why.
HOWEVER ::
on connection, i get "SD INIT FAIL" , not sure why, or how to fix it.
i'd be happy for some insight on the connection failure to the usb com port , DAE remember having to change settings ?
also sd init fail ?

btw , had trouble on 2 computers , windows 7 & 8 , solved it on 7 .
