Now to take the time to install them. Ok that part is easy. Now to take the time to get the right settings on the Y&Z chips. That is the part that will be time consuming.

And to make it simple I got some A4988s just to make it simplier for my Y&Z Chip. Ok got 5 of the chips on ebay as a set but it was only $15 for the 5.

Since these drivers have twice the resolution of the 4988's, you'll need to, more or less, double the existing values.  For example if your current values are X:88, Y:88, those values will be more like X:176, Y:176

I haven't been able get my Y chip to work right in some time and now the Z chip seems just dead (maybe I did it in my many attempts to fix my Y axis issues).
