I have been looking at the electrical connections and I think I have the following figured out, please let me know if this is not correct:
1) I cut all the connectors from the power supply
2) Connected the Brown wire to the orange wire.
3) Connected the green and Black wire to the switch
4) Heat Shrunk all the orange wires together: not connected to anything, Same with the red wires.
5) Connected all the Yellow wires together and then added 3 wires to it.
6) Did the same with the Black wires.
soldering all the wires together has been a pain, and if someone knows which/how many of the Yellow and Black wires are needed. That would be very helpful. Or If there is a better way of connecting them. Also It would have been easier to make these connections before the table top was put on.
7) Connected the 3 Yellow and 3 Black wires to the power connector on the RAMBo board.
8) Soldered extension wires to the Motor wires since they are not long enough.
The Red and the Blue wires seem to be one coil and the Black/green seems to be the second coil. This is different from the RAMBo manual, so I am not sure which pin should be connected where.
9) For the heater PCB, There is a 1K resistor, Led and a sensor, which does not seem to be in the kit?. I have access to a 1K resistor and a led, but I do not know what sensor to use?. Also how is it wired to the RAMBo board.
10) I could not find any instructions for connecting the 2 resistor and thermistor to the Hot end?. i figured that I need to wrap the resistor in foil and insert them in the holed in the hot end, but what kind of "adhesive" should I use ?.
I bought this for our company, to try out a 3D printer. but 2 weeks in I still don't have the printer assembled, which is not a situation I wanted to be in.

This http://shop.seemecnc.com/PCB-Heated-Bed ... -58741.htm mentions High temp RTV for the thermistor so I assume the sensor spot is for a 1000k thermistor to measure bed temp. And this http://shop.seemecnc.com/NEW-Hot-End-As ... -71575.htm also mentions High Temp Silicone (or high temp epoxy) so I would assume the same stuff as you use to glue the sensor to the build plate.
