Printer connects but does not respond to commands

Hello, My first post! 

Could use the help.

So My printer is connecting to my computer through a hard line USB. When I press connect the printer turns off and resets like normal but when I go to send any other commands it just idles and has commands waiting. 


I have tried several coms and my printer only responds on com3

System Settings.
64bit
115200 
Com3

Printer
Any Cubic Delta style linear rail with heated bed

Please help.

Im having to level my bed manually its the worst :(

  • Oh forgot to mention this happened after doing the new update. I reinstalled the old version to see if it was an issue with my printer communicating with the new program and it is still happening on old version 1.0.6
  • Is protocol on autodetect? What do you see in log (disable easy mode enable ack/commands). Might be dtr/rts settings preventing communication - they are reactivated in 2.1.6 and you need to install it back to be able to change these. Try all combinations and reconnect.
  • Ok so protocol is on auto detect. Im not exactly sure how to reinstall drt/rts settings. I hit the button on the top right to disable easy mode and nothing happens. I've uninstalled the newest version of rep out of spite and now using old faithful which is still not working. This is so frustrating every thing was working fine this new upgrade has totally ruined my work flow. 

    The only thing my printer will still respond to is pressing the connect button every thing else is dead. 

    Im about to just find another program and start over. 

    I've done so much searching and trouble shooting and nothing is working at all. 

    Ive tried every single different bauderate by applying and disconnecting and reconnecting. 

    Ive also updated the server program and went and directly connected through the server by opening server front end and connecting there. I am still getting the broken red chain symbol online. 

    Now with updating my connection through the front end controls I can not connect to the printer at all when server is on and connected. I have to stop local server and connect to printer then turn local server back on.


    Below is my command bar.

    That is a sign of wrong baud rate also  Access to the port 'COM3' is denied. would mean someone els eis already connected to printer on COM3 probably server.
    Server auto connects and in host you would use server-connector instead of serial connector so it doe snot need to be disabled. Alternatively you can disable printer in server so it does not connect automatically.

    Make sure firmware in server is set correctly.

    RTS/DTR has only 4 combination to test high->low and low->high for each of them.
