    Yea, it sees :

    MINTEMP triggered, system stopped! Heater_ID: 0

    Which means it is not reading the thermistor for that heater (usually 0 is the 1st extruder heater).

    Yea thats what i was reading which i dont have anything else connected just the stepper motors so o guess i need to connect the thermistor. Im confused because it was working before i redid the config file and only had the motors connected

    wrong baud rate - you are getting garbled stuff

    Change the baud rate to 250000, Marlin firmware and OctoPrint default to this speed

    Got all the electronics mounted on the C2 except for the hotend carriage still trying to figure out how im going to mount it. Need to fix the steps per mm and trying to figure out what the max voltage and amps the mainboard can take dont just want to plug in the heated bed and it end up blowing my board.

    So looks like the ft5 heated bed says its 19amps at 12V i think the amps are going to be to high for the C2 board but not sure

    You would have to install a PSU to take the place of your PS

    Yep. 19amps is too much for a RAMPS so I imagine it is too much for the unknown Robo electronics.
    You are far better off going with standard electronics where you know what it can do :)

    One thing i noticed is with the c2 carriage it has a ribbon wire anyway to get that wired up to a different board?

    If you mean the one from the main board to the extruder carriage, replacing that would be a pain.

    yea scratch that lol well now im stuck but should be simple if i can figure it out maybe one of you know. my x end stop is on the opposite side of where the C2 originally had it so instead of it being X min it is now the X max but it still shows when triggered that is it X min. how do i change this? ive been looking in config.h and see i can invert the min and max but not sure if that will work

    You are going to need to make fundamental adjustments to the Marlin firmware. You can in Marlin configure MAX and or MIN triggers for each axis.

    Since you are doing something custom here you need to get really familiar with customizing the firmware too.
