Buy a Smoothieboard with connectors but unsoldered: http://shop.uberclock.com/products/smoothieboard" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (North America), http://www.robotseed.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Outside North America)
Install the drivers if you are using Windows: http://smoothieware.org/windows-drivers" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Linux and Mac install automatically.
Plug your board into the USB port and check if it's detected. You can connect to the board on it's COM port using a Gcode host such as Pronterface or Repetier-Host.

Solder connectors to your Smoothieboard so that the existing connectors for the RAMBo can be reused.
- 4pcs .100" (2.54mm) Latching Polarized (LP) Gold Straight Header (1x4)
- 2pcs .100" (2.54mm) Latching Polarized (LP) Gold Straight Header (1x2)
- 3 pcs .100" (2.54mm) Latching Polarized (LP) Gold Straight Header (1x3)
- Wafer Connector 2.54mm 3 Pins

Plug in the components into the Smoothieboard while it's powered OFF.

There are three power connectors that must be connected. If you are using an ATX power supply, you probably already have three yellow and three black wires connected to the RAMBo.
