COM6”: Access is denied. Your computer cannot communicate with the Rambo. Is com 6 the correct port? - check in windows devices/settings, look for your Rambo board and check which com port it is on. If that is correct have you got another application accessing that com port - prontaface perhaps?

also make sure repetier server isn’t installed.

And that repetier host isnt connected when trying to flash.

tried to flash again made sure repiter host ans server were off and not connected got same error

when i plug in the board port show that it is connected to port 6

You’re not using the windows store arduino app are you?

No it is not the Windows 10 app

Ok I remover repiter server and tried to flash again now in getting this error

Bootloader file specified but missing:

where do i find this

Pretty sure you can ignore that one.

Thanks All for the input

I uninstalled the repitier server and re booted computer i was able to get the sketch verified and ignored the error message about the boot-loader

uploaded successful and steppers now move

once again thanks
Jeff
