So begins the long task of wiring all the components together. I already tested each board and connection with an individual motor, but placing the wires unobtrusively which would reach around the board proved to be a different task. I ended up using over 24 feet of wire, of different kinds, to reach to all the motors and controllers.
I should note here, that I encountered a pretty serious problem. One of my Easy Drivers turned out to be defective, which was a nightmare since shipping a new one would take a week. To make a quick solution to the problem, I ended up wiring the two X axis motors to the same drivers, since they would have the same control anyways. A quick solution, but it ended up working!
