Hello everybody,
I bought a reprap kit two weeks ago composed by all the mechanics fully assembled, an arduino Mega 2560, a RAMPS 1.4 shield and a XBOX PSU 203W and a relay. I have some little experience with arduinos and electronics but it's the first time I have to work with a relay... I connected everything according to the documentation furnished by the seller but I'm not sure at all that's correct, the documentation I received is not enough detailed (for me... ;)). I'm able to upload to arduino only when the RAMPS 1.4 shield is removed. When I connect the RAMPS, it's impossible, arduino tells me the com port is already in use.Actually I would like to be sure of my connections and the fact that I have to remove RAMPS shield to be able to upload to my arduino is not a good thing I guess...:/
I joined the documentation I received and the plan to show you how I connected things..
Thanx to take look... I can't wait to print things O_o
Regards
Manu
