ok I downloaded Arduino 1.5.5. Now I have no clue on what to open up in the Arduino Sketch. I downloaded what she said and I get 2 folders. I open the folders and this is what I get (in the picture below). What is the problem? Am I not downloading the correct tings and also I'm running a dual extruders.

Don't worry about Arduino. Don't do anything in Arduino yet. If you have already correctly installed the firmware for the dual when you put that on, all you need to do is install that Windows Driver that i told you to go get in the earlier post.

i dug this out from the original installation and setup instructions that I got with my machine:

So all I do is download the windows driver? Then what do I do with it? I have it downloaded but the printer still doesn't work. The dual extruder program is already uploaded onto the Rambo.

You download the Windows Driver and then follow the instructions that I have highlighted on that instruction sheet for Installing the Driver. (That's what we did on that model to connect it in Windows.)

After that you make note of the COM port and connect to that one. In S3D, click on the Machine Control Panel icon and click the Connect button. (Machine has to be turned on first before you start S3D in order for the auto-connect to occur.)

Chuckle! The only thing funnier than a Mac user trying to use Windows, is a Windows user trying to use a Mac. :lol:
