Excellent!  If you've got headers for the Pololu drivers I should be
able to just plug in my printer and get it to move.  Actual printing
would depend on the heater and thermistor inputs, but could probably
be managed w/o too much hassle.

Only 4 motors are needed to print (XYZ and A, or E for Extruder if
you're from the RepRap world).  The fifth is for a second extruder for
support material, or some folks are actually doing multicolored prints.

A spreadsheet is fine.  I should be able to send you a basic HAL
configuration and dts file once I get the pinout.
