I ordered a smoothieboard a while ago and have been putting off installing it, mainly due to being clueless about where to begin. I finally got started today and I have flashing lights and am able to make a telnet connection to the board. Onwards and upwards!!
excellent. I’m in a similar position. I’m assembling the other parts & pieces so I can do it in a couple/three weeks. Super busy now with work & other hobbies that are time sensitive. I figure I’m going to burn a couple of weekends to get it done.
I guess starting is the first step. I have yet to order my smoothie, but I’m interested to see the experience others have during the install process as I think I might struggle through it a bit too.
