Okay so I have the Delta Rostock mini G2S Pro
I have completed all the construction and now have moved onto setting it up.
Doesn't give much information on how to set up, does for calibration but I'm not even at that stage yet.
This is my first 3D printer and it seems complicated to set up, basically I have no idea what I'm doing from here on out.
I installed Ardunio and Repetier host and I have managed to install the driver for the 3D printer and it can connect to Repetier Host.
Now here's my problem, I opened up Ardunio and pasted the RKMB_GT2560_G2S file like i was told to do on the website.
Then I went on the page recommended - https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows#toc3 and got it to make the light on the mother board blink.
Then I was recommended - http://reprap.org/wiki/Calibration - which I started to work through and that's when everything messed up...
The screen for my 3D printer is now blank and will not co operate?

I've followed instructions and am very stressed and annoyed as there are no clear instructions.
For some reason it doesn't think it has as X axis and when I used to click auto home, it would bring axis Y and Z up but leave out Z? Z does move as It moves when I then click level bed and it just moves with the others? the stepper motor is working fine as I then swapped them round. The standard programming must be incorrect and I need desperate help and advice as I really do want this 3D printer to work to make a video review. :|

for this, try to swap the sd card cable with the LCD one, you must have the old instructions and it's wrong.

" it would bring axis Y and Z up but leave out Z? "
Sorry but don't exactly konw what you mean, maybe a video link will be great.
So which axis is the problem one? and you can check the driver and other things as the link here shows :

"Doesn't give much information on how to set up, does for calibration but I'm not even at that stage yet. "
And you can contact the seller to get a starter manual for your G2S pro, maybe they forget to send you.
