I'm trying to connect my PC to my Anet A8 through Pronterface on Ubuntu.
But when I'm clicking on the "connect" button in Pronterface, all I see is "Connecting ...".
What I did so far
- added my user to the
dialout
group - tried to run it as
root
- tried different baudrates
- switch to different USB cables
- tried to install and run it on a different machine and different OS (Windows) with nearly the same result (additionally I see repeated lines with
M105
, but no response)
The printer itself works - I want to connect to it, to "PID tune" it, because I added a different fan duct.
How can I make sure the board isn't somewhat damaged, and its just my setup?
