Remote control is working great via the iPad Teamviewer app and using the S3D machine control panel.
I guess you could use an iPhone or Android tablet/phone too.
No such luck there Carl.
Just checked and the w was already lower case on mine.
What serial cache size are you using ?
I believe it was 256k but I dont remember. That was the receive buffer size in Repetier host. I no longer have the Da Vinci as I sold it to recover se of the cost of this CTC dual head I bought.

Reckon I'll go back to printing from SD card which is pretty much 100% reliable.
Might be something to do with the laptop I have connected to the printer.
It's getting on a bit and not that powerful by todays standards.Which version of Repetier are you using for firmware?
I'm on 0.92.
I can print from SD without a problem but I'm trying to get printing over usb working via S3D so I can remote control the printer using the Teamviewer app on the ipad.
I could of course still print from SD but it's easier to just load a print from the connected computer.
Everything works fine until I start a print. I've had a few prints finish but more often than not, they fail on the first layer.
I've had prints fail when printing from SD with a usb cable connected but never with it removed.
I'm wondering if the usb connection on my old laptop is the issue ??
I had a similar issue and posted here about back when i first switched to Repetier. Luc responded and it fixed it, I will have to look back in my 2000 post and see if i can find it.
Found it, here is what Luc told me. it is worth a check in your firmware.
It contains an error for the "wait" identifier in configuration.h
it is typo issue W is upper case when it should be lower case
#define WAITING_IDENTIFIER "wait"
Mine would lock up randomly which is not that big of a problem except for the fact the temperature is no longer monitored or controlled and goes into thermal runaway. At one point my bed got up to 210 and my extruder was at 320. The only thing that alerted me was that smell you smell when ABS is getting too hot.

]]>Ah right, got you. That makes sense.
So only the printer firmware and S3D need to have matching values ?
That would be correct..
]]>Thanks Carl.
That might explain why I had a print freeze yesterday.
The baudrate on my computer's side was at 9600 so I changed the printer and S3D to that too.
I'll wack it up to 250000.
Dont pay any attention to the baud rate setting in port properties in your device manager. That is the speed that Windows would use if it used that port. Your host will override Windows and set it for the settings it has when it grabs the port.
