MEGA + RAMPS Cant Connect Software

[Tylor Koenigsfeld]

Hi all,

I would like to get this setup to draw stuff for a children’s hospital, I would appreciate any help!

Im using an Arduino MEGA + RAMPS 1.4. It came off of a basic kit on amazon that includes a LCD + SD reader. I have uploaded the firmware and I can confirm it works by using the D11 serial code. I cant get the software to connect to the MEGA. The software crashes when clicking “connect” using Java 8-271. The software does not crash, but nothing happens when connecting using Java 8-161.

In both cases, when connect is pressed, the mega seems to restart. The Marginally Clever logo reappears. Im really at a loss here after messing around with it and digging in the fourms for a couple nights now. Any tips or pointers would be really helpful.

Below are my Java crash log + D11 output. Thanks for reading.

Using the newest nightly jar file
makelangelo.version=7.23.0

Firmware is version 9.2

It looks like this is a windows security issue. Windows Firewall(?) likes to block unrecognized apps from opening COM ports.

Windows serial connection problems

[Tylor Koenigsfeld]

So sorry, forgot to mention that I have read that post and done everything in there.

Java.exe, the SE binary and OpenJDK all have access through the firewall as per your guide. I have tested disabling the firewall and the issue still persists. Do you prefer to use linux for this? Any other ideas?

If I can get this figured out I would gladly make a donation to the children’s hospital on your behalf, thanks for the reply.

[Tylor Koenigsfeld]

So it seems to connect fine on my desktop, my laptop however does not work. I ended up resetting my laptop to factory settings and installed the newest x64 Java. It still crashes when connecting with the same error. It is allowed through windows defender and still crashes even when windows defender is disabled. Any ideas?

For anyone who has this issue, Java 8-261 does not seem to work for makelangelo. Java 8-161 seems to work correctly when connecting

[joerandomnumber]

Thanks for the update. I’m having the same jssc.SerialNativeInterface.openPort failure, and I have 8-271. Unfortunately, Oracle is “experiencing technical difficulty” (which apparently is their MO) so I can’t download 8-161.

[joerandomnumber]

I tried Oracle download again today and got it to work. I found that the website gave the error message if I clicked the download link and then log in when the download requested it. Instead, I had to log in to Oracle separately from the download process, and then the download would work after that. Downloaded 8-161 and installed it, then uninstalled 8-271 and rebooted. The Makelangelo app will now connect without crashing.

Hello…

Where can i find the old java 8-161 version for windows 10 64 bit?

Thank you.

Cordially

8-161 ?
