			==Extensible Applications==

			Upload through Bluetooth

			[[File:Ramps ea.jpg]]

			The COM should be set as (9600, N, 8, 1)
			The command for Bluetooth module:

			AT OK
			AT+BAUD8 OK115200BAUD (set baud rate for RAMPS/Arduino Mega)
			AT+NAMEPRUSAI3 OKsetname (optional set name, default: linvor)
			AT+PIN0000 OKsetPIN (optional set pin, default: 1234)



			==FAQS==
			1.How many extruders can ramps support?

			Ramps 1.4 support 5 A4988 driving boards, which are for X/Y/Z/axis and 2 extruders respectively, so the ramps can support at most 2 extruders.


			2. What should I note when provide power for ramps?

			The recommended power supply for Ramps is 12V, especially for Mega2560. If supplied over 12v, Mega will over heat, resulting in instability of operation, the serial port communication is was at times strong and at other times weak. Do make sure the power is 12v, if you don’t have switching power supply of 12v, please take down the diode D1 on Ramps if you use a greater power supply.
			The current is decided by the use of hotbed. If you use a hotbed, an idea power supply is 12v 17A, 200W. If not, 5A is enough.


			3. Can fan be added to Ramps?

			Yes. If you use only one extruder, you can connect the fan to the 2 pins in the middle of the 6 blue output pins. If you use two extruders, the fan cannot be connected to ramps directly; you should connect it to a power source that is controlled manually. Or you can build an external circuit, the pins of which should be set in the firmware,


			4. What is the difference between ramps and ultimaker?

			In the respect of function, they are totally alike. But there are some difference, one lies in the configuration of I/O pins. Another lies in the way of reading temperature. Ultimaker uses thermocouple and temperature control board (AD597), ramps uses NTC thermistor 100K. If you want to use thermocouple and temperature control board for ramps, you should take down the pull-up resistor one the thermistor of hot end.


			5. Can Ramps replace ultimaker to make an ultimaker printer？

			Yes, it can, but you need to pay attention to the points we’ve mentioned in chapter Ⅴ .The ultimaker printer is one kind of reprap, as well as standard three- axis rectangular coordinates


			6. The temperature displayed is not normal.

			A. you may select the wrong thermistor in marlin, we often choose 1.

			B. The thermistor is Brocken or there is short-circuit occurred in the 2 pins of the thermistor.

			C. The electrolytic capacitor on ramps is broken.


			7. The motor jitters.

			A. It is a matter of poor connection,

			B. A4988 has broke down,

			C, the VREF is not right.


			8. The scope of motor is too small.

			You may forget putting the jumper cap, or the parameter you set is wrong.


			9. The program uploading is not successful.

			The USB cable doesn’t work; the version of Arduino IDE you use is not compatible; the select of COM is wrong.


			10. The hotbed and extruder can’t heat.

			A. The MOSFET is broken.

			B. The thermistor is not connected.


			11 the motor of extruder doesn’t work.

			The thermistor is not connected; the temperature is not enough; A4988 broke down; ramps 1.4 broke down.
