I just purchased the app and can not get it to work on my Nexus 7. I am running a ramps 1.4 on my MendelMax 1.5. The only way it will connect is with the “dummy” choice and stating it as usb1. After connecting it will not control anything at all. Any ideas?

@mondo50m dummy is just for testing and does not do a real connection. You have to choose USB OTG and the right baud rate. See here for hints how to debug connection problems: http://gcodeprintr.dietzm.de/FAQ.html#debug
Please send me the console output if you can’t get it to work.

I apologize, I should have re-posted. My OTG cable is defunct. I had to order a new one. The one I had I paid $2.00 for it. I have now purchased a unit that cost $10.00. I guess cheaper is never the way to go with electronics. Again, I apologize, I should know Thursday if it will work, and I am sure that it will.

Received my new OTG cable today. Plugged it into my Nexus 7, downloaded a GCode file from my computer. Plugged the OTG into the usb port of my MendelMax and IT PRINTED!!! Awesome program.
