Repetier works, but MatterControl doesn't. Any thoughts?

    I can use Repetier to connect to and control my printer, but while MatterControl reports it has connected to the printer: 1) It always says "checking device firmware" at the bottom of the advanced screen, 2) manual controls do not work, 3) temperatures are always shown as zero. When I run the terminal to monitor communications, I see MatterControl issuing commands, but I don't see any responses.

    I have power cycled the printer when switching between printer software and restarted the printer software at the same time to ensure I am starting from scratch in both cases.

    Any thoughts on what the problem could be or how to debug it?

    have you tried a different port for each or maybe uninstalling Repetier just to see.

    I MC, you need to install the Robo3d printer and add the driver.

    I have a similar problem in that everything works in matter control until I tell it to print... Once I hit print the software says it's printing but nothing happens at the printer. Manually I can move the head around, it's just when I go to print.

    So back to repetier I have gone :(
