MatterControl 1.5.3 for OS X cannot connect to FormBot via USB
-
I am using MatterControl 1.5.3 on OS X 10.9.5, and I am using FormBot, which is similar to gCreate gMax.
I have selected the 3D printer using the wizard, and plugged the printer to the computer via USB. However when I click "connect", it says "Unable to communicate with printer" "Status: Unknown Reason"
Then I clicked "edit" to open the edit dialog. For serial port, it lists:
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem
/dev/tty.usbserial-A600DQCG
and the third one is chosen
Then the baud rate are shown:
115200
250000
other
and it is the 250000 that is selected.
and the "Auto Connect" option is checked.
When I switch to 115200, the printer takes forever to respond (never).
So anything wrong here? And what setting should I use?
Thanks!

With everything you've mentioned, it seems like the printer should be able to connect.
Can you confirm that the printer can connect using similar software (Cura, Arduino IDE, etc.)?

Oh..... after I installed an updated version of FTDI driver, it works
Could you please tell us the correct /dev file and baud rate? Is it /dev/tty.usbserial-<name> and 256000?
Thanks!

Glad to hear it!
250000 is the standard baud rate; /dev/tty.usbserial-<name> sounds right.
