Jumper: POW_SEL: Select the MCU power supply from USB or DC Input. We suggest to move the jumper to “USB” LEDS of Out Port: when uploading firmware. When the printer work, it must be set to “VREG”. RST_MCU: Reset the MCU from USB port, the HOST software can’t distinguish the control board firmware type if this jumper is removed, and it be use to emergency stop the printer from HOST too.

Because of the difference between the motors, the installation, add glass on the bed and other reasons, it may be necessary to adjust the driving limit current of the motor, too small driving current maybe cause lost step or abnormal noise. Rotate the potentiometer on the driver module by using a screwdriver, clockwise rotating to increase the limit current and counterclockwise rotating to decrease.
