Pronterface is unable to connect to Prusa i3 mk2
Hello!
I'm a newbie to the world of 3d printing, and I just received my printer today!
I am having trouble getting the provided Pronterface application downloaded from the Prusa website to connect to my printer via USB.
I installed the latest drivers 1.7.6
My current setup is..
Windows 10 Pro
Prusa i3 MK2 (COM3) @9600
Under Devices and Printers -> Prusa i3 MK2, the port was set to 3dPrinterPort.13131... and I changed it to match my Device Manager's port for it at COM3. The FirmwareUpdater also is unable to connect, yielding the message
avrdude.exe: ser_open(): can't set buffers for "\\.\COM3" avrdude.exe: ser_drain(): read error: The handle is invalid. avrdude.exe: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail avrdude.exe: stk500_send(): failed to send command to serial port avrdude.exe: ser_recv(): read error: The handle is invalid. avrdude.exe: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout avrdude.exe: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail avrdude.exe: stk500_send(): failed to send command to serial port avrdude.exe: ser_recv(): read error: The handle is invalid. avrdude.exe: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout avrdude.exe: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail avrdude.exe: stk500_send(): failed to send command to serial port avrdude.exe: ser_recv(): read error: The handle is invalid. avrdude.exe: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout avrdude.exe: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail avrdude.exe: stk500_send(): failed to send command to serial port avrdude.exe: ser_recv(): read error: The handle is invalid. avrdude.exe: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout avrdude.exe: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail avrdude.exe: stk500_send(): failed to send command to serial port avrdude.exe: ser_recv(): read error: The handle is invalid. avrdude.exe: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout avrdude.exe: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail avrdude.exe: stk500_send(): failed to send command to serial port avrdude.exe: ser_recv(): read error: The handle is invalid. avrdude.exe: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout avrdude.exe: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer avrdude.exe done. Thank you.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

9600 seems awful slow, have you tried 115200 baud?

Re: Pronterface is unable to connect to Prusa i3 mk2
the baudrate is defined inside the Configuration.h with a fixed value at 115200 bit/s #define BAUDRATE 115200.

I've tried 115200 as well, no dice 🙁
Re: Pronterface is unable to connect to Prusa i3 mk2
Are you sure that there is nothing else trying to use the com port....?
for example, if you have arduino IDE connected then you will be unable to connect pronterface as well.

Finally got it to connect!
It seems uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers + restarting my computer did the trick 🙂
