 ### Using Arduino
-note: Multi language build is not supported.
+_Note: Multi language build is not supported._
+
 #### 1. Development environment preparation
 
-   a. install `"Arduino Software IDE"` for your preferred operating system  
-`https://www.arduino.cc -> Software->Downloads`  
-it is recommended to use version `"1.8.5"`, as it is used on out build server to produce official builds.  
-_note: in the case of persistent compilation problems, check the version of the currently used C/C++ compiler (GCC) - should be `4.8.1`; version can be verified by entering the command  
-`avr-gcc --version`  
-if you are not sure where the file is placed (depends on how `"Arduino Software IDE"` was installed), you can use the search feature within the file system_  
-_note: name collision for `"LiquidCrystal"` library known from previous versions is now obsolete (so there is no need to delete or rename original file/-s)_
-
-   b. add (`UltiMachine`) `RAMBo` board into the list of Arduino target boards  
-`File->Preferences->Settings`  
-into text field `"Additional Boards Manager URLs"`  
-type location  
-`"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ultimachine/ArduinoAddons/master/package_ultimachine_index.json"`  
-or you can 'manually' modify the item  
-`"boardsmanager.additional.urls=....."`  
-at the file `"preferences.txt"` (this parameter allows you to write a comma-separated list of addresses)  
-_note: you can find location of this file on your disk by doing the following:  
-`File->Preferences->Settings`  (`"More preferences can be edited in file ..."`)_  
-then choose 
-`Tools->Board->BoardsManager`  
-from viewed list and select the item labeled `"RAMBo"` (will probably be labeled as `"RepRap Arduino-compatible Mother Board (RAMBo) by UltiMachine"`  
-_note: select this item for any variant of board used in printers `'Prusa i3 MKx'`, that is for `RAMBo-mini x.y` and `EINSy x.y` to_  
-'clicking' the item will display the installation button; select choice `"1.0.1"` from the list(last known version as of the date of issue of this document)  
-_(after installation, the item is labeled as `"INSTALLED"` and can then be used for target board selection)_  
-
-   c. modify platform.txt to enable float printf support:  
-add "-Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_flt -lm" to "compiler.c.elf.flags=" before existing flag "-Wl,--gc-sections"  
-example:  
-`"compiler.c.elf.flags=-w -Os -Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_flt -lm -Wl,--gc-sections"`
-The file can be found in Arduino instalation directory, or after Arduino has been updated at:  
-"C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\(version)"
-If you can locate the file in both places, file from user profile is probably used.
+**a.** Install `"Arduino Software IDE"` from the official website `https://www.arduino.cc -> Software->Downloads` 
+   
+   _It is recommended to use version `"1.8.5"`, as it is used on out build server to produce official builds._
+
+**b.** Setup Arduino to use Prusa Rambo board definition
+
+    * Open Arduino and navigate to File -> Preferences -> Settings
+    * To the text field `"Additional Boards Manager URLSs"` add `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DRracer/Arduino_Boards/master/IDE_Board_Manager/package_prusa3d_index.json`
+    * Open Board manager (`Tools->Board->Board manager`), and install `Prusa Research AVR MK3 RAMBo EINSy board`
+
+**c.** Modify compiler flags in `platform.txt` file
+     
+    * The platform.txt file can be found in Arduino instalation directory, or after Arduino has been updated at: `"C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\(version)"` If you can locate the file in both places, file from user profile is probably used.
+       
+    * Add `"-Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_flt -lm"` to `"compiler.c.elf.flags="` before existing flag "-Wl,--gc-sections"  
+
+    For example:  `"compiler.c.elf.flags=-w -Os -Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_flt -lm -Wl,--gc-sections"`
+   
+_Notes:_
+
+
+_In the case of persistent compilation problems, check the version of the currently used C/C++ compiler (GCC) - should be at leas `4.8.1`; 
+If you are not sure where the file is placed (depends on how `"Arduino Software IDE"` was installed), you can use the search feature within the file system_

 #### 2. Source code compilation
 
-a. place the source codes corresponding to your printer model obtained from the repository into the selected directory on your disk  
-`https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/`  
+**a.** Clone this repository`https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/` to your local drive.
 
-b.<a name="2b"></a> In the subdirectory `"Firmware/variants/"` select the configuration file (`.h`) corresponding to your printer model, make copy named `"Configuration_prusa.h"` (or make simple renaming) and copy it into `"Firmware/"` directory.  
+**b.**<a name="2b"></a> In the subdirectory `"Firmware/variants/"` select the configuration file (`.h`) corresponding to your printer model, make copy named `"Configuration_prusa.h"` (or make simple renaming) and copy it into `"Firmware/"` directory.  
 
-c.<a name="2c"></a> In file `"Firmware/config.h"` set LANG_MODE to 0.
+**c.**<a name="2c"></a> In file `"Firmware/config.h"` set LANG_MODE to 0.
 
-run `"Arduino IDE"`; select the file `"Firmware.ino"` from the subdirectory `"Firmware/"` at the location, where you placed the source code  
-`File->Open`  
-make the desired code customizations; **all changes are on your own risk!**  
+**d.** Run `"Arduino IDE"`; select the file `"Firmware.ino"` from the subdirectory `"Firmware/"` at the location, where you placed the source code `File->Open` Make the desired code customizations; **all changes are on your own risk!**  
 
-select the target board `"RAMBo"`  
-`Tools->Board->RAMBo`  
-_note: it is not possible to use any of the variants `"Arduino Mega …"`, even though it is the same MCU_  
+**e.** Select the target board `"Tools->Board->PrusaResearch EINSY RAMBo"`  
+	_note: It is not possible to use any of the variants `"Arduino Mega …"`, even though it is the same MCU_  
 
-run the compilation  
-`Sketch->Verify/Compile`  
+**f.** Run the compilation `Sketch->Verify/Compile`  
 
-upload the result code into the connected printer  
-`Sketch->Upload`  
+**g.** Upload the result code into the connected printer `Sketch->Upload`  
 
-or you can also save the output code to the file (in so called `HEX`-format) `"Firmware.ino.rambo.hex"`:  
-`Sketch->ExportCompiledBinary`  
-and then upload it to the printer using the program `"FirmwareUpdater"`  
+* or you can also save the output code to the file (in so called `HEX`-format) `"Firmware.ino.rambo.hex"`:  `Sketch->ExportCompiledBinary` and then upload it to the printer using the program `"FirmwareUpdater"`  
 _note: this file is created in the directory `"Firmware/"`_
