        <title>Upgrading ramps to supply &amp;gt; 5A to motors</title>
        <description> I’m using 5 DRV8825 Drivers on my ramps 1.4 to drive 5 Nema 17 motors. 
My motors are capable of drawing up to 1.5A and my drivers are set to accommodate 
Assuming I had all 5 steppers running at full power, this is a total draw of 7.5A

Is there a way to upgrade my ramps board to allow for this? 
I’m thinking of upgrading the 5A pollyfuse &amp;amp; maybe one of the mosfets. 

Any suggestions?</description>
