# 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.
