Firmware compiled with Arduino versions before 1.0 even allow 127 bytes. If you are unsure on the printer buffer size select 63, which works on all printers. So if you disable the ping-pong mode, the host will send up to “Receive cache size” bytes, before it waits for the ok, telling him that the command is processed. As long as you are sending not more then the size of the buffer, you can send more then one command if they fit into the buffer. To improve speed, you can allow the host to send more then one command at once. This causes latencies, which can result in empty buffers if you have many small moves. The host send a command and waits for the firmware to return an ok. The method that was planned with the first firmwares works like ping-pong.

The next decision is, how to send data to the firmware. For all other firmwares, the ASCII communication is used. You can leave this on “Auto detect”, which will automatically switch to binary format if Repetier-Firmware is detected. Less computation time needed for the firmware to parse the data.The Repetier-Firmware also supports a binary format. All supported firmwares work in ASCII mode. The transfer protocol determines, how the host will communicate with the printer. Stop bits and parity are correct for 99,9% of the printer, so leave them untouched. Then select the baud rate entered into the firmware. If you connect your printer when this menue is already open, klick “Refresh Ports” to detect the new port. At the opening of the window, all available ports were scanned and added to the list. In “Port” you select the port, where your printer is connected. In this first tab, you set how to connect with your printer. These can be changed in the g-code editor, which is described in a different chapter. In addition to this, for each configuration a start/end/pause/kill and five user defines scripts are stored with configuration. The new printer will start with the same settings as the last selected printer.īelow the drop down box you see four tabs with most off the data stored with the printer configuration. To create a new printer you only need to change the printer name and press “Apply”. At the start you have only the default printer.

You will see a window like this:Īt the top you see a drop down box, with the currently selected printer. Go to the menu “Config”->”Printer Settings” or klick the button.

If you have uploaded the firmware to your printer, the driver is already installed.

Some printer need special driver to access the device, so make sure the drivers are also installed. Make sure your printer is connected and enabled. The next step should be, to configure your printer so you can connect your computer with the host. The work directory is, where the host will put temporary stl files, sliced results and if enabled the log file. You can select any directory, where you have write privileges, but it is advised to use a separate directory for this purpose. The latest windows versions skip this step, because the installer already created a work directory for you. On Debian you can call:Īfter the first start a dialog may pop up asking you, where your work directory should be. You need to put your user into the right group.

One problem that most linux distributions have is, that the normal users are not allowed to connect to a serial console.

Repetier server repetier host install#

If you are in doubt, install Mono develop, which has all needed libraries as dependency. Make sure you have all required Mono libraries installed. Move it to where you want your files and unpack its contents and run the post installation script:Īfter that you have a link in /usr/bin to the installation, so you can start it with repetierHost. The linux version comes as gzipped tar file. The installer already contains Slic3r and Skeinforge for slicing and python and pypy, which are needed to run Skeinforge. After downloading run the installer and you are done. The windows version comes with a installer.

Go to the download page and fetch the latest version for your os. With lower versions you may have speed issues with live preview. For a good rendering performance OpenGL 1.5 or higher is needed. The only other requirement is a graphic card with OpenGL. NET framework 4.0 or a recent Mono installation, if you are running Linux. If you have a Macintosh computer, check for the Repetier-Host Mac on this site. The Host works on Windows XP and later and on Linux. If you have an old computer running Windows XP you may have difficulties. Currently available computers should have no problems at all. Before you start with the installation, you should check if your computer meets the requirements.
