max endstops aren't used, we use min endstops and software to limit the max travel. so the max endstops should app be disabled

edit: resources i have found to ensure you have the proper version of python and pyserial installed. It is the sourcecode page for pronterface, it is about midway down the page.

So I went to this page, wow. That is a lot of Greek to me! I went to the page and navigated about half way to find this...


Mac OS X Lion

• Ensure that the active Python is the system version. (brew uninstall python or other appropriate incantations)
• Download an install [wxPython2.8-osx-unicode] matching to your python version (most likely 2.7 on Lion, check with: python --version) from: http://wxpython.org/download.php#stable Known to work PythonWX: http://superb-sea2.dl.sourceforge.ne...rsal-py2.7.dmg
• Download and unpack pyserial from http://pypi.python.org/packages/sour...ial-2.5.tar.gz
• In a terminal, change to the folder you unzipped to, then type in: sudo python setup.py install
• Repeat 4. with http://http://pyglet.googlecode.com/...glet-1.1.4.zip

The tools will probably run just fine in 64bit on Lion, you don't need to mess with any of the 32bit settings. In case they don't, try

• export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes in a terminal before running Pronterface

Not sure what to do with this as I don't know how to use terminal.

Followed these steps and with the help of google i think i managed the python thing!
