trouble connecting to Repetier

I’m having trouble connecting to Repetier, I can easily communicate with the SD card and I can connect and print with Cura. I’ve have the settings correct in Repetier but I get this message.

(access to port com8 is denied)

Hey there !

We generally don’t support Repetier as it’s not Open-Source.
However, I hear it generally tends to work with Smoothie.

Could you check if it works with Pronterface ?

Cheers.

thanks this got it working.

Have you set “reset on connect” to “Due native port”. I think smoothie board behaves the same as due native port, which need dtr pin high for active communication (while the other types use it for resetting the board).
