Help with setting up Arduino and Ramps 1.4.

You were correct, Dust. Well done.
It compiled and uploaded. Thanks!!!

Onward:
The light on the Ramps board is blinking. Is this correct?
The LCD is not on. I've checked the LCD settings and to my knowledge they are correct.

Getting close to blastoff.

you have enabled a glcd, but the images I see of various "Prusa i3 Tronxy" all have standard lcd's not Glcd

Are you sure that's what you have? got a photo of just the lcd ? (front and back)

Sorry about photo.

Thats a graphical LCD, make sure you have the u8glib library in the right arduino folder then define glcd in config...h and define reprap discount full graphic smart controller.

U8glib is in Library.

Looks great, is it working?

No.
Blink works.
Configuration.h appears to install. Ramps light blinks rapidly. Arduino list 'Done uploading.'
The LCD is blank. Ramps light is off and Arduino's light is on but not the one that blinks every second.

There are some LCD's that the cable plugs are around the wrong way, so your forced to plug it in backwards.

This is normally only an issue if you purchased the lcd adaptor separately from the LCD

Its not just a contrast issue is it? (the variable resistor on the left)

Success. The LCD is working.
Problem was, the pins on the LCD adapter did not line up with the Ramps board.
Solved by bending pens.

Current:
X and Y motors do not work. They do not move when tested.
The Z axis sounds horrible. Does work.

When first purchased, I was unable to set it up for some time.
After fighting with it, realized the main board was not good. Seller said 30 days were up.
Replaced with Ramps 1.4 and Arduino.
Next, discovered the power supply put out only 9.3VDC.
Replaced with XT650W.

The motors for the X and Z motors were replaced with Printrbot motors.
The upper cable is from the Printrbot.
The wiring coloring is different. Is that a problem?

I've plugged motor cables into Ramps board both ways.

Any help appreciated.
