Solved Printer not connecting to MatterControl

    OS: OS X 10.10.1
    Matter Control version: 1.1.4
    Printer: Robo 3d R1 (new)

    Problem: Printer will only occasionally connect in Matter Control. When it does say "connected" it usually won't allow me to move anything on the printer. I WAS able to get it to move by plugging in a wire going to the z axis. However, when I tried to move the printer again later it does not want to connect. Bed and extruder will also not heat up.

    Steps taken already:
    Tried another cable
    Powercycled all machines
    Deleted printer settings in MC and reconnected. (This got the machine to say 'connected', but was unable to move machine, did not say 'connected' after rebooting machine)
    Verified machine is powered on and everything visible without disassembly is plugged in

    Thanks for the assistance,
    Josh

    May have fixed this by updating matter control. Thought I had already done this, possibly fixed machine is moving now.
