General
The RepRap Monolithic Electronics set (also known as the Monotronics) is a new design, based upon the Generation 3 electronics. It is using the same underlying Sanguino (Atmega 644p) processor and the same stepper controller circuit. We considered using one of the newer, more "faddish" stepper controller chips and decided against it (see design considerations below for more details and our logic process). This electronics set is designed to be a versatile, trouble free, easy to install electronics set. It should vastly simplify the wiring and make your RepRap build look much cleaner.

Installation
Adjust the Motors
Install the Mounting Board
Fasten to the Mounting Board
Connecting the Motor(s)
Connect The Endstop(s)
One of the most common mistakes, is to hook all the endstops up at once, then power the electronics up and see what happens. IF you have them hooked up wrong, you just fried all three. I suggest that you hook up one and test it, then if that goes well, hook up the next one and test it... etc.. then they are all done and working.
