@Ian, Nice catch, I didn't think he might be trying lowercase letters for command but that would make it not work smile

M303 S195 C5

hit SEND

The printer with start the auto tune program for 195 degrees C it will do 5 cycles of calibration loop this will take a couple of minutes then at the bottom of your screen in the log window you will see three numbers

PXX.XX

IXX.X

DXXX.XX

Yes i do that. Then what should happen? Should i have extruder and bed heated up before hand?

That is how I have always done it, with it up to temp for at least a minute or two smile

I use Mac + RH and it has worked for me.

I have my printer connected and works no problem
but trying to send a M303 or any command using the RH print panel and the manual send box does nothing?

I am connected
I have tried making a print job with gcode and just the m303 command and hit run
nothing

am I missing something or do I need to use Pronterface?
