Now, with the wire cutter assembled from last week we need to make it work.
The first prosess is to get everything wired up and tested, before connecting the power. I located a bad ribon conection by examining it with the magnifying glass. All the stepper motor drivers are daisy chained together with the ribon.
When I was making the fanbnet board I had to use double resisters. Our fablab didn't have 600 ohm resisters so I stacked 100 ohm and 499 ohm resisters together to make 599 ohms. After the board was built my fablab staff pointed out that I should have joined the resisters in series.
