Hangs/stuck on Red Fulscreen display

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ok this morning,I finally got to a point where I installed the host and 
uploaded to the arduino.After a few tries.I physically reset the mega 2560.It 
seemed to connect and upload fine with no problems.all the functons in the host 
seems to work except:
1-the stepper motor does not respond, to the host.
2-when start to print it gives the first fullscreen slice ,then a red 
fullscreen and get stuck right there.  Have to hit escape to exit .
I have tried it 3 or 4 times with the exact same results.

No, svn_792 did not fix the "stuck on red screen issue" but I did manage to get 
the steppers working with the host ! :) ...it is running supper nice and smooth 
in z- axis jog mode.

I think that  was just a resetting issue with the arduino. So if you can just 
fix the red screen issue that get stuck you will be my hero man!,I know yours 
was running great?..
Also one more thing ...where can we set the display time of the red 
intermittent screen? I guess that is just chaniging a integer for  now right?
......Those sre the only two things I am in desperate need for now .If I can 
get those 2 issues straightened out then I am ready to print fully with the 
host. !!!

PS-Let me know if you need a fresh log file again.

This morning got my Z axis moving smoothly from Host (svn_792), after uploading 
and re-uploading firmware and reseting Arduino over and over ... 

Same issue as TJ : stuck on red screen when launching print. 

other issue : J6 Jog switch not working (implemented ?)

Config1 : 
Win7 via parallels on Macbook Pro
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB

I attached my log file

Olivier Yeah,way to go!..You are right on track man!

The red jog switch is not jet implemented in the host yet,(sorry if I 
misunderstood you) You can only jog from the the host(on screen) for now. The 
actual jog switch is such a simple implementation ,as long as you have the 
middel of J6(Ground)wire to the centre of the jogswitch it will work.One side 
UP and one side DOWN.The jog switch is a momentary springloaded ....on-(off)-on 
...switch.It springs back to the off posision in the center every time. This 
means that if you push on to one side you pull the the arduino pin  to 
Ground(low).... Pin 47=low= UP , Pin 49=low=DWN ...Believe me it will work.

Thanks TJ, 
I do my best ;)
Ok here I come again, I decided to run the Host (last SVN) software in Ubuntu 
(x32). 
no problem in launching the host software once everything is configured 
correctly. 
I noticed that if you press the print button without having the arduino 
connected everything goes well, but if the controller is connected you end with 
the same issue as you have in windows version . 
I attached the log from my ubuntu system (virtual machine in parallels.), it's 
seems to be more " talkative" than the windows one. 

Sorry for my english, but even living in China , i'm still French :)

Good luck to you Roberto ,and Thanks again to you TJ . 

PS: just found this other project http://code.google.com/p/3dlp-host-software/
