        <title>RAMPS Motor Testing Problem</title>
        <description> Hello,
I am about to begin scratch building another 3D printer. All the materials have been delivered, and I have been working on testing the RAMPS electronics. I have successfully compiled and uploaded the motor test code, and the lights are flashing but there is no movement, sound, vibrations etc. coming from the motors. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I solved my problem! I was plugging in power to the Arduino, not the RAMPS. Motors all work great, I'm excited to continue with the build!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Test code doesn't look at endstops!<br />
<br />
[<a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/File:RAMPS1.4_TestCode.pde" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">reprap.org</a>]<br />
<br />
Should move X Y back and forth   and  turn heaters ON/OFF<br />
<br />
Other code might<br />
May have to set code for NO   normally open stops<br />
<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Do you have drivers installed?<br />
[<a href="http://www.pololu.com/product/1182" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.pololu.com</a>]<br />
All the jumpers should be in place under drivers<br />
the pots on drivers come preset<br />
<br />
Following image shows 4 driver installed correctlyon RAMPS<br />

If you put them in the wrong way  -- they probably are fried!<br />
<br />
<span style="color:#FF0000"><b>DO NOT</b></span> diddle, wire or un-wire  with <span style="color:#FF0000">power ON</span><br />
turn <span style="color:#006600">OFF</span> motor power supply and disconnect usb  before wiring changes<br />
<br />
Is it wired correctly<br />

<br />
Blinking LEDs show  heater circuits  D8, 9, 10    working<br />
<br />
Check colors on motors to make stepper phases correct  1A  1B   2A   2B<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ This could be a bunch of things... Are the power supply on? Are the pots on the steppers turned up? Are end stops inverted and therefore triggered?]]></description>
