power up your printer and get out your digital multi meter
out and set to dc volts.[[<<]](i set mine to 20 dc volts)[[<<]]
and your ceramic screwdriver(desighned for stepper driver trimpots).[[<<]]
now connect your negative terminal from your multi meter to the negative  terminal on your powered up ramps-fd board.[[<<]]
then for each stepper insert the ceramic screw driver into the trim pot and touch the top of the trimpot with the positive terminal from your multi meter.[[<<]]

Now you are ready to hook up to repetier host to check and change any eeprom settings that you need to.[[<<]]

soldering Part 4
-1:
soldering the stepper motors:
all wires are soldered inline .(start on one side of the connector and solder the first wire from your stepper motor the first wire of the connector.
and the second wire from your stepper motor to the second wire of the connector. and so on.
(make sure not to cross any wires)
(do 1 wire at a time.)
(and label each new connector as you solder them)
you dont want to chase down leads all night.

soldering the end stops and the temp sensors:
they are not polarity sensitive.
just solder one wire from the end stop to a wire on the plug

!!!!!Melzi to RAMPS-FD Conversion
[+This guide will help explain the steps required to convert from using the Melzi controller board to a 32bit processor RAMPS-FD board. More information on the RAMPS-FD board can be found on the [[http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS-FD|Reprap Wiki]]+]

Some features of the RAMPS-FD board are:

*Faster 32bit processor vs 8bit
*More flash / code space for firmware improvements
*Faster steps / mm without switching to step doubling or quad stepping because of interrupt constraints
