 +This is controller board designed for 3D printers but can be used for 
 +whatever purpose. 
 + 
 +It supports 5 stepper motors using easy to buy controllers. 
 + 
 +This type of board is known as a RAMPS controller since it contains 
 +an ATmega2560 compatible with [[:boards:mega2560|Arduino]].

 +My generic cable has A- B- twisted at the motor (JST) end so not usable with my motor
 +on this board without swapping the centre pair of cables (at either end).

 +For JST, just lift the plastic tooth and pull the cable out, very simple.
