    Question USB connection problems with new i3v build; hardware working

    Hi everyone,
    I've finished assembling my MakerFarm i3v 10" printer. Hardware seems to be working - homes okay, and test Gcode makes it move around. But I can't get the USB connection to my computer to work.
    The driver is not installing properly - my first key question is that it shows up as:
    Other devices
    - RUMBA - ATmega 2560 co

    But I have a RAMPS board, is there something wrong in the firmware? The same thing happens with both a XP and a Windows 7 computer.
    I downloaded the "i3v Drivers" from Makerfarm, but windows won't use drivers from either the "windows 7, XP driver" folder or the "Rumba Driver for XP, 7 & 8".
    I've also done Arduino programming in the past, so went to my Arduino environment, but no luck communicating there either.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    I had the same problem. Just googled the same drivers they use in this vid and it worked for me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n3fB-P7kcMw

    Thanks for that. Couldn't get that to work, but emailed Colin and got a prompt response:

    "Yes that is correct, it should be showing up as a rumba, try this driver: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B80A...p=docslist_api "


    That driver worked for me, at least in XP - now I can use Pronterface!

    RRD_RUMBA_TAURINO_DriverSetup.exe

    This is the driver that worked for me (and is the same, I believe, as the link posted in the previous post). I ran the .exe before plugging in my Ramps and Windows 7 found the board right away.
