Hello guys I recently shorted the arduino mega when I was adjusting the current on the driver ..the arduino gone
Is safe to reuse that same ramps board with the new arduino??
Thanks in advance

I do not know what you shorted the driver current potentiometer to.
If you were adjusting the Driver board, shorted it out. Yes there is a small possibility you have taken out the Driver Board the Ramps Board and the Arduino Controller.

Not saying you did, but you could have.

Yes I shorted the potentiometer
And the driver isn't working any more now with the arduino mega
I got now a new arduino and a new driver
Iam just asking if Ivan reuse just the ramps board or is there any way to test it before I use it with the arduino

Shorting the driver board probably just destroyed the 5 volt regulator on the arduino.
There is a very good chance that no damage was done to the ramps board,having done this myself
when I 1st started 3d printing.

That's what Ceramic screwdrivers were invented for smiling smiley
You can also use a wooden toothpick and cut an edge, then harden it with superglue.
