I know it does not solve your issue, but try OctoPrint instead
At least you'll be able to print your things
It still requires USB connection. OP should also check if baud rate is set correctly
How would I go about this?
When you connect printer to PC using USB cable you need (assuming you have windows):
In software like pronterface you have to select serial port (1.) and correct baudrate. Baudrate is set in your firmware, but if you dont know you can try all possible options. Most likely 250000 or 115200
If its not working try another USB cable. USB cable can be a pain, make sure you dont guide it close to stepper motor wires or some other electrical equipement. Get quality cable and not too long, even if its working it can cause problems.
Its better to use SD card to avoid USB problems, but SD card must be formated as FAT32 within size limits of your printer board. Just in case, make sure you dont have weird symbols and file name is not too long, use simething like
filename.gcode. And again, use quality SD cards.Both ways should work, but you can make extra step and get device like raspberry pi and connect it to a printer with usb cable. Raspberry can be connected to your network and you can install software like octoprint (super nice web UI for controlling your printer)
