Further reading
- The above chart compares "complete" RepRap electronics systems -- the stepper motors plug into one side, and the USB cable from the laptop plugs into the other side. Such systems often include 4 identical stepper driver boards, one for X, Y, Z, and Extrude motors. For a chart comparing stepper driver boards, see stepper motor driver#Stepper drivers.
- After you get a set of electronics, you may want to read Testing RepRap Electronics.
