I am trying to get into the habit of making these reference guide videos for frequently asked questions, so even though the RAMPS series is technically finished, I thought it would be nice to have a video to direct all questions about RAMPS mods to: HOPEFULLY, this is the definitive guide on what you have to do to safely run your RAMPS board at higher voltages, the benefits, the possible hurdles, etc. Since there are so many variations on the basic RAMPS design, this will hit an overview of the main concerns, as well as solutions and alternatives.

I do not demonstrate all the mods in this video (since it was pushing a half hour in length already) but they are all at least touched upon. I'll include some useful product links below by support links )some will be affiliate links, others not).

TIME INDEX:
2:50 Benefits of higher voltage
Ohms law
4:00 -Connectors
8:23 -MOSFETs
10:00 -Bed math
12:30 Backfeeding vs USB power
15:50 MODS doe 8-bit MEGA
19:30 MODS for 24 bit RE-Arm
19:55 DUE and misc MODS
21:27 Setups that don't require mods
