Warnings !!!
Never insert or remove drivers while the board is powered.
Don't plug or unplug stepper motors while the driver 12V is on. You can plug or unplug steppers if the board is powered as long as the 12V driver relay is off. (As shown by the indicator LED near the relay.)
Be careful when wiring the stepper motor plugs and when plugging them in to avoid shorting one coil to another. The stepper connectors are pretty standard, with one coil on each side of the connector. Be sure that neither of the coils are allowed to span across the middle of the connector. Doing so will likely burn out the driver.
Be careful not to plug the stepper connector in shifted to the side. This will short across the coil outputs and likely burn out the driver. Double check that the connector is centered on the pin header before powering on.
MCP2200 USB to Serial
Instructions coming soon. For now see Gen7 wiki or Manufacturers website.
Arduino Setup
The ATmega in the kit comes with the Gen7 bootloader installed. See Gen7_Arduino_IDE_Support for instructions on adding the board support. Then make sure to select the Gen7 ATMega 1284P 20Mhz board. You'll need a jumper on the RST pins while loading new firmware. You may take it off for normal operation.
Host Software Setup
The ATMega comes with Repetier firmware installed. Repetier like some other firmwares uses EEprom storage to store calibration settings. This means you can adjust common calibration settings without flashing the whole firmware again. If you wish to get started without loading a custom firmware, you could simply skip the Arduino stuff and just install Repetier host software. Set it to the com port that your board uses and 115200 baud. Once you get a connection you can adjust most of the calibration settings in the EEprom directly from Repetier host without going back to Arduino.
