a kind of longish post is going to follow,
so I tried to highlight the important questions for the skimmers
Hi,
I got my RAMPS 1.4 yesterday and still got a few questions before I start plugin stuff together and potentionally endangering my electronics and myself
I asked my supplier and he told me that the board has
the 1N4004 diode, where can I find it on the board?
I read here: [
reprap.org] that I shouldn't connect more than 12V but my power supply produces 13.3V and 20A.
How can I make this work? is it possible to just unsolder the diode? Would this even help? Or is the diode only a sign of another change in the Board?
Should I use an appropriate Resistor or voltage transformer to get to the Voltage I need?
Or
does the 13.3V even
bother the board?
Another Question I have is regarding the Firmware, I would like to use ReplicatorG and therefor try the FiveD Firmware (I finally have a single electronics solution, I would love to have a single software solution as well).
But the pin definitions already preconfigured RAMPS pins in the
FiveD github repository show something completely different from what's described on the
Wiki-Page.
So,
who has the correct pin.h settings, the wiki-page or the github repository?
