Rambo input power
OK, I'm getting confused. If all three yellow and black wires from the Power Supply are hooked together and plugged into the heated bed input, where does the Mosfets and Motors & Logic get their power input from?

Re: Rambo input power
you need to provide 12 V to each of the 3 12V inputs on the bard.Darth wrote:OK, I'm getting confused. If all three yellow and black wires from the Power Supply are hooked together and plugged into the heated bed input, where does the Mosfets and Motors & Logic get their power input from?
I think the manual shows 3 12V wires hooked up to the heated bed but given it's a single rail PSU all that is doing is effectively increasing the gauge of the wire to that line, not a bad thing since you will be pulling 10+A to it. But you still need to run 12V to the other two inputs on the RAMPS board.

Any other yellow an black wires coming from the PSU you want, they are all 12V.Darth wrote:So where do I get the other 12v from?Polygonhell wrote:you need to provide 12 V to each of the 3 12V inputs on the bard.Darth wrote:OK, I'm getting confused.
