Here is the back story to where I am right now. I purchased a RAMPS 1.4 kit, downloaded Adruino .23 / pronterface and Slic3r. I have uploaded the configuration.h file to the arduino. I connected the 4 stepper motors and received errors from pronterface about the missing hardware. Heat bed etc.
I found the Ramps test file, I uploaded the test file to the arduino and the Ramps lights blinks as intended. I removed the USB connection from the Ramps and connect the power and plug in the USB. The lights are still flashing but no movement from the stepper motors. I have adjusted the pots on each driver and still no movement or hum.
I proceeded with connecting all the require devices and now the device will not give me any kind lights or connect to pronterface. When I remove the Ramps from the Arduino the computer recognizes it. I disconnect all the peripherals from the ramps and the attached it to the Arduino and I it it lit up. I am about to scream and pull my hear out over the electronics! Someone please give me some kind of assistance by pointing me in the right direction to a post or provide me a starting point to resolve this.
