    I have been stuck working on my chimera upgrade on my robo. I have everything setup except the print cooling fans and the led. I don't know where to plug them in. If anybody has a diagram of where to plug them in that would be great. Im using the hiletgo ramps1.4 off amazon.
    thankful for all help...

    That is the stock board and custom RAMPS -- the standard RAMPS is here:

    They are part of the normal RAMPS 1.4 so if yours is missing them ... you got a board without that feature. You can probably just add the pins (it is likely the board has them) but that is something to take up with the board maker/seller. There are a lot of RAMPS board types out there and some are better than others.

    As for dual extrusion I have never used that on the R1/R1+ machines, my C2 is configured that way as is my delta, but neither of them uses the standard RAMPS. The R1+ used the second extruder output on the RAMPS as a second Z stepper driver and that may be part of your issues.

    It is not just the board, but the way the stock firmware is configured. So as long as you are starting with a clean, generic version of Marlin you are good.
