Arduion is the best tool to use for setup since it excludes any software issues. Use the serial monitor and the "M" and "G" codes - [reprap.org].
Set the serial monitor to "carriage return" and the baud rate to the baud rate specified in your configuration.h file. (can not be higher than 115200)
When the Marlin firmware starts it reports the extruder position as 0, 0, 0 - so you have to home the axis (G28) before you can move the extruder with the "G1" command.
The command letters must be capitalized.
