A friend of mine had a Creality CR10 V2 which he purchased some time ago. Evidently it had a bad board in it and he received a replacement but never got around to installing it.

I now have this printer and have replaced the board in it. I have tested the movement along each axis and tested the extrusion. Everything looks to me like it should be ready to go, but I haven't been able to get it to recognize when an SD card is inserted or when I have a computer connected to it.

I'm a 3d printing newbie and I'm not sure where to go from here. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Or is it the printer?

Any advice or guidance on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been out of town. Just got back.

I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure I used FAT32. I'll have to check the size of the card, but I'm sure it is more than 4GB.

The printer was not visible to the OS. I was not familiar with FTDI, but I just looked it up and installed the driver.

Thanks for your response! I'll give it another try tonight.
