2. Download the latest Sprinter firmware fromSprinter

Extract the firmware and open it in your Arduino IDE(00-22 ,00-23).

3. Go to the file configuration.h and change the motherboard setting:

define MOTHERBOARD 33

4. Check that SD Card support is enabled:

define SDSUPPORT 1

5. Compile and upload the firmware.

6. Open the Serial Monitor from the Arduino IDE. Make sure the left select list reads newline. Enter the GCode M21 (init SD Card). It should return ok.
