+# Setup Guide
+
+This guide walks you through the setup of your new **Open Micro-Manipulator** device.
+
+## Checklist for New Devices
+
+1. **Was the mechanical limit pin added to the rotor?**  
+   This pin is required for proper homing of the device.

+
+
+2. **Are the screws that secure the rotor to the motor shaft installed?**  
+   If the rotor is not firmly attached, it may slip imperceptibly during homing or other movements, leading to problems during calibration and homing.
+
+3. **Is the homing direction correct?**  
+   During the homing command (`G28`), the end effector should move toward the base.  
+   If it moves in the opposite direction, rewire the motor to reverse its direction.
+
+
+## Calibration and Checking the Encoders
+
+You can use the calibration plotter to check if your encoders are working as expected.
+On the left you see a good calibration on the right a bad calibration.
