Printer won't function till connected to host.
Hey guys!
Been a bit since I've been on here but I'm happily printing again. I have a old delta printer that I've upgraded to a RADDs, Arduino, with RADDS lcd screen setup.
I'm using the development version of repetier firmware, other versions I still have the same issue.
When I plug the printer in before connecting to the computer and repetier host, my other printers (based on Arduino mega chips) will startup, lcd screen shows version and if I want to print via sd card I can do so. This printer, with the Arduino Due, RADDs, and RADDs lcd screen setup, for some reason the printer will not boot up (lcd on but blank) and be functional even with power until I connect to the computer and repetier host. After I do this I can disconnect from host and USB and the printer works as expected.
I'm suspecting it's the Due board, but sending this to the masses hoping someone has a quick solution cause I'm currently starting to go wireless, but it'd be annoying if I have to recconect Everytime I cycle the power.
