Wiring Instruction for the Electronics Combo
 
I finally got around to creating step by step instructions on how to connect the stepping motors, drivers, power supplies, fan and computer.  These videos detail the procedure for wiring the electronics combo for sale here.  This may also show similar wiring schemes for other systems like Geckos. 
 
Remember that when working with electronics and providing power to the electronics, electrocution is possible.  Electrocution can be fatal, so if you have any reservation, please consult a professional electrician to connect the electronics.  By using this website, or viewing any videos here, you agree to waive all libility of BuildyourCNC, or any personell associated with the making of this website.
