What happens when you don't have the right drivers? #6

Hi, starting from the ground up in reconfiguring the Wangsama firmware for a single arm SCARA, using a RAMPS Arduino setup and I am not very tech savy, I can upload to my Arduino fine as far as I can tell but not sure if not having the right drivers would prevent the motors or kinematics from functioning properly. Many thanks for any advice or a link to clone drivers for download! Not sure if they are needed.

Hi, if your hardware are not in the firmware, you have to modify pins.h file to fit your hardware

Thanks for the tip, I have no idea how to tell if any of the pins are wrong, I am using a RAMPS 1.4 and Arduino Mega 2560 R3, the default setting, board 33, what pins do I have to change?

You need the driver for your computer to connect to your hardware. If you can upload the firmware to your hardware then you already have the driver.

You need to modify the pins in the firmware if your hardware is not in the firmware list of hardware
