Stage 41: Add the Z-axis and
feeder motor drivers, and
the feeder motor cable
The two motor drivers you add to the
driver board this time are identical to
each other and also to the two you added
in Stage 39. This time the motor drivers
are for the Z-axis and feeder motors.
Remember to make sure they are fully
seated and that they are plugged in
the right way round. You then secure
the feeder motor cable to the housing
and plug it into the driver board. Finally,
connect your PC to the circuit board
using the USB cable.
