Re: Impossible to connect... MAC

I couldn't even get pronterface up and running properly when I got my Solidoodle. Repetier was far easier to install and it includes skeinforge and slic3r. Since I never used pronterface I can't tell you if there are any advantages to it, but I don't think you'll miss anything. This post is for setting it up on PC, but the steps are pretty much the same for macs. https://solidoodletips.wordpress.com/20 … tier-host/ this post will help you set it up. I know this isn't an answer to your question about how to connect with pronterface, but I think it will help.

Make sure you install the FTDI drivers.
Until those are installed, you won't be able to connect with any driver software.
