Is there a way to test my Prusa I3X steppers without having the heatbed, thermisters, hotend wired up. I keep getting a "mintemp" error when trying to test the unit using pronterface. Ramps 1.4 board and Arduino 2560 running Marlin. Thanks.

Yes, all you need is one driver plugged in and a motor on that port - you can leave everything else disconnected.

You may need to comment this line in Configuration.h to get the extruder stepper to run:
#define PREVENT_DANGEROUS_EXTRUDE
Don't forget to uncomment it when you actually put your unit together.
