I tried again today, and it seems like after it asks me to press top, it actually proceeds to ask me to push the bottom trigger.
however, as a programmer I can say the the problem lies with the label having a fixed size and not allowing for another line to be displayed.
so, the problem was that it probably gave me a line about waiting for the heater to cool down & this line made the "press the switch on bottom" disappear, which made me think it was reacting to Top being pushed when I was actually pushing the switch on bottom.
thanks for the response Daid, but it all worked out fine
Edit:
now that I've run through the first run wizard, I can't print
I load a file & slice it, and then press on print GCode & the dialog appears, and the temperature is showing, but only the connect button is enabled, the other buttons and everything in "Jog" is disabled.
is it correct to consider "Term" as a log ? do I need to paste it here ?
downloading 12.10 RC4 as I edit this post, will try it and post back if the problem is gone.
Edit 2:
while using Cura 12.10 RC4, if I press Print (after preparing the file) nothing happens.
the mouse turns to the "loading" sign for a second then returns to normal, but nothing happens (no new dialog, no sound on the printer or anything.
note: while trying 12.08, everytime I press "connect" on the print dialog, I hear some sound from the printer and then it stops.
note 2: in cura 12.10rc4, if i show the log after preparing the robot file that came as an example, it has some warnings in there. (I also tried printing a model that didn't have warning, still didn't print)
OS: Windows 7 64bit
also, a (hopefully) trivial note: in 12.08, under the "term" tab in the print dialog, it said
echo: Last Updated: Marlin-Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:33:42 +0200 - b67dacdc8f1bd489e058e16d92ba29c364b2a8e5 |
even though I updated it today 6-Nov-2012.
however, I have the date in my system set as dd/mm/yyyy.
just wanted to mention this in case it crashes the software when the day becomes > 13 !!

If you want to be sure. Get the 12.10_RC4 pre-release. This includes pictures of the machine lighting up the endstops. Much easier to follow.
You can find it at:

An offical 12.10 release will be done soon.
