Win10 manual control issue K8400

Vertex 3D Printer Vertex - Printer software (repetier, slicer, ...)
1

Hello,

My K8400 was running ok, I have not used it for a couple of months and have upgraded my PC in the meantime.
The OS it runs now is Win10.
Installed latest drivers (v2.12.16 from this site ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) as indicated in instructions.
Installed Repetier Host 1.0.6 from Velleman website and I have not made changed to printer (running firmware 1.4).

The issue is this:
When connecting the printer in Repetier host I cannot use the Z axis in manual control.
I can use X and Y axis, although after clicking the HOME button (like AUTOHOME on the printer itself), the head does move to the home position.
However, the X and Y axis can not be changed with manual control anymore.
(This all worked before when running on my old PC which was on Win7)

Does anyone know a fix for this? Should I upgrade to Repetier host 1.6 since 1.0.6 is pretty old.

update:
Installed driver+software on my multi media PC (Win7)
All worked there.
One thing I noticed there at the ‘printer settings’ the printer “VERTEX 3D PRINTER” was selected.

On my win10 PC it was set to “Default”, changing it to VERTEX 3D PRINTER which worked.

In short: problem solved :stuck_out_tongue:
