SOLVEDUltimaker Original does not connect + display error

· Ultimaker Original does not connect + display error
With power off I'd check all the pins that go into the arduino to make sure there aren't any bent ones.
Also try removing the arduino board from the UM board and connecting to USB (which will power it up) and see if you can connect to the board that way using pronterface. Or try to connect to it in cura 15.* with and update the firmware from within cura.
You want to figure out if the problem is with the arduino board or the green board. Hopefully it's just a loose connection and removing and re-inserting the arduino will fix your issue.
If you have a windows machine and connect it to the arduino and you have the arduino driver installed you should hear that "ba da" sound where the second note is a higher pitch. Then in device manager you should see a usb device that popped in when you plugged it in and/or it should then appear as a COM port in the list of COM ports. If it appears in USB but not COM ports then you probably don't have the arduino driver installed.
Here comes Cura 5.9 and in this stable release we have lots of material and printer profiles for UltiMaker printers, including the newly released Sketch Sprint. Additionally, scarf seams have been introduced alongside even more print settings and improvements. Check out the rest of this article to find out the details on all of that and more
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

You got EXP1 to EXP1 but did you get the red stripe the correct way round?

Thank you very much for your help. I did as you said, and updated the firmware (although it was saying that there was no connection) - now it works!
