Repetier-server doesn't connect with Velleman K8200

joe_varsamis

i am running repetier-server on my raspberry pi b+,i can access the web interface through my local network but my bellman K8200 can't get connected in the server....

Repetier

I had another one with the same problem. He said jumpering the bridge to update firmware helps. I guess the jumper allows resetting firmware which is what server does on connect.

Also make sure baudrate is correct.

joe_varsamis

What do you mean saying jumpering the bridge??and which firmware should i install??

Repetier

I don't have a vellemann so I don't know which 2 pins he meant. He meant for flashing new firmware you have to close them so I guess it is somewhere in the documentation.

No need to flash new firmware if the old one is working good for you. You should only close the pins with a jumper.

joe_varsamis

Can you link me that post please??

Repetier

No link, it wa sin a mail exchange. But that is all he said. He uploaded the firmware and forgot to remove jumpers and then realised that connection worked.

joe_varsamis

Thats for velleman k8200 via repetier server,right??

Repetier

Yes exactly.

In order to flash the firmware on the k8200 arduino board (arduino 2560) you must indeed connect/jumper the 2 pins on the header that says "jprog". This is also described in the manual which can be found here:
