Re: A question about my DaVinci 1.0A with Repetier

So I have been doing some snooping and seems there may be an issue with Arduino and windows with respect to higher comport numbers. While the printer is connected open it's port properties. Then advanced properties and change its port number to the lowest number you can get with exception to 1. Then see if you have the same issue.

Hi Carl,

I gave this suggestion a try but unfortunately the issue remains.  I did some googling as well and found some posts similar about Arduino.  I will keep playing around with it but any other suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks

Well I tried several things including using a different USB Port on the computer.  I can change the printer to any available Com port (currently COM 2) and when I unplug/replug it in it defaults in device manager to Arduino Due (COM 10).  I tried changing the printer com to 10 so it was the same as Arduino and that did not work.  So I have to reboot.

When I tried a different USB is worked similarly except the when I recycled the printer is showed up consistently as Arduino Due COM 4.  It did this with COM 4 consistently.  I have been trying to read through threads like this one:

https://www.reddit.com/r/arduino/comme … ys_in_use/

I will keep digging.  Is there some setting in Arduino itself I need to configure differently?

Found this:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoDue

From the above link:

The Arduino Due has two USB ports available. The Native USB port (which supports CDC serial communication using the SerialUSB object) is connected directly to the SAM3X MCU. The other USB port is the Programming port. It is connected to an ATMEL 16U2 which acts as a USB-to-Serial converter. This Programming port is the default for uploading sketches and communicating with the Arduino.

Not sure how this applies to the DaVinci board but if it has "2" com ports perhaps that is the reason it changes??  Also in the standard Arduino install are ATMEL drivers installed?  I recall reading some had to install these separately.

Repetier use different way to upload file than XYZ
XYZ send the file as it is
Repetier send GCODE line by line by interpreting them once on host and once on printer to check integrity so it take far longer than just push the file.
Wifi SD card is far the fastest way to upload IMHO

So, no worries about losing data or bad data transmission through USB cable when using Repetier-host and Repetier firm on Da Vinci 1.0/1.0A?

The only time you would loose data is maybe if your cable is cheap, over 6 feet long, or you are trying to run more than one printer from the same PC.
