1. grab a small flathead screwdriver (tiny)
2. turn all your trimpots down (counterclockwise), don't accidentally touch the board - you could fry something!
2. send pronterface a long move command for the axis you're adjusting
3. slowly turn up the trimpot until the stepper starts to move. Add [a little more]
4. repeat for the other axes, including the extruder.
If you turn the trimpots up too much that's a problem too. It's finding the sweet spot where the steppers move but don't get too hot running them. this is a process that may take a while. You won't know if your trimpots are too high until you've got your motors running a while.
