Hey Augusto! The manual is not finished yet, due to lack of time. However, are the cables are already connected to the corresponding pins in pins_ramps? additionally the E motor will not move until hotend will have temperature higher than set in cold prevention extrusion. Could you paste the output of M122 gcode?
