Connection to board

[Tricki]

Hi guys,

After upgrading to windows 10 I have had the issue below. I'm not saying Windows 10 is the issue I'm just giving out as much info as I can.

I have a geeetech Rambo 1.2g which works fine with my 3dprinter using a sdcard but I cannot connect to it via USB.

I have installed the drivers and the board shows up as a Arduino Mega 2560 in the device manager. I use simplify3d and that detects the port being used with no issues. S3d also changes port numbers If I change the port number in the device manager.

The Arduino software also reports the Serial Number of the 2560 on request

I have tried:

Changing usb ports, both usb 2 and 3
Changing baud rates
Tried different com ports
Different usb cables.
Tried resetting the board

What am I missing?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, If your printer cannot be connected to the slicing software,

Any other options?

How do I know which chipset the board uses? the writing on the chips is so dull i can't read them.

Where is the usb chip located?

thanks

Hi，
you can remove the motherboard to view the chip.

Hi

Why do I need to remove the board? there are no chips on the back of the board.

I can see the chips just not read them.

This is the board
