To Peter:
I noticed one line of code said:

isn't the latest firmware ROBO3DR1V2? or not relevant?

Encouragement from a fellow newb
I found some good help here: http://www.matterhackers.com/support
A lot of useful information, as well as this is who you contact for software issues.
I had to start learning about the whole process b4 I could start chasing down my own demons. (still chasing!)
I learned a lot googling my problems too.

 

RepRap is a flavor of firmware, aka Marlin. Like Sailfish or repetier. Where R3dR1V2 etc are branches of marlin
