Just another day at the office for me…
Okay, most USB devices use their own programs to talk, or.have specific functions. A serial device, like the RAMBo tries to have a more general purpose function.
Okay… don’t type the $ from that command, start at the ‘ls’ (that’s LS in lower case.) “No such file” might be the OS not liking the command, or it might be it can’t find the files.
ls /dev/tty*
That ought to produce a list of devices, most of which we don’t care about in this instance, so the command above is better, if it produces output. The output should be different with the board plugged in from when it is not. Other USB devices will probably not affect this, only ones that act like a serial port.
Like I said, my experience with Macs is limited. I always found the UI gets in my way when it things it knows better than me what I want to do, so on a Mac, I generally live on the command prompt.
Not sure if it applies the same, but Repetier Server seems to interfere with Repetier Host. That should not be running, but I think it wouldn’t say “connected” in that case, so probably not what’s wrong. (I don’t use Repetier either, lol. But in my line of work, I end up troubleshooting lots of stuff I don’t use.)
A quick scan of the Repetier docs seems to say that it scans the devices for you. The Internet also says the RAMBo doesn’t need a driver, so shouldn’t be that either.
All 4 in your list should be different devices, so try 'em all. 250000 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit should all be correct, which you seemed to have set up.
Well, though I have high confidence in my general troubleshooting abilities, this might have a pretty high bar to hurdle…
