"SD init fail"

Post by m4r1n5 »

I've installed Repetier and my comp recognizes the printer (com 3) but once its connected Im getting "SD init failed" after the successful host log info comes up.

Do you have the lcd controller? Is there an sd card plugged into it?

What firmware did you upload?

I FIX IT. I was following the manual, but the manual did not show how to install the firmware in Arduino or that i should do that first. Once I figured that out, it works like its supposed to.

You already had firmware installed, it says so in your screen shot. Did you install a newer version?

I installed Arduino, then Repeteir, then the Rambo driver. I started getting the issue when I started Repetier. After rereading the first couple pages of the software part of the manual, I downloaded the Repetier MAX zip from github.com and installed it through Arduino. Apparently I needed to do this first in order for Repetier to full recognize the Rambo, but the manual doesn't mention installing the firmware until 8 pages later. At least for me, that was the steps I needed to do before moving on.

There must have been an issue with the original firmware, weird.
