Firefly Stepper motor and Arduino Due can't communicate ?

Hello everyone :)

Since I know there is some firefly users here, I'm posting the question about the stepper motor component here. Also the post is on the firefly's forum.

So... I'm trying to drive 3 stepper motors with an arduino DUE ( 84 MHz clock) so would be faster than an UNO (16 MHz).

The problem : The DUE is selectionned, detected and I can open the port in grasshopper, but when I try to send any mouvement with the stepper component.. isn't moving at all.

Also when I try to read the serial monitor with the generic serial read component is also not reading anything coming from the due card (I tried the programming port and the USB communon port from the DUE).

To now : Sending mouvement with the Accel Stepper library directly with the Arduino IDE works, Wich means that the problem is directly coming from the communication between the Firefly's Grasshopper component and the arduino Due

The due : www.arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardDue

Thanks for your time :-)

Quiet hard to have any support with firefly/arduino stuff...
Even on the firefly experiments website I see a lot of topics without any answer.

Maybe the solution is to write another component, but its a shame when there is already one but isn't working :-D
So let see, if I find something I'll post here anyways, since I'm sure, I'm not the only one with this kind of problems with Firefly.

Hoping you guys find out maybe and give me some help.
Thanks anyway :-)
