+# 1. Developement environment preparing
+
+   1. install `"Arduino Software IDE"` for your preferred operating system  
+`https://www.arduino.cc -> Software->Downloads`  
+it is strongly recommended to use older version `"1.6.8"`, by which we can assure correct compilation results  
+_note: in versions `1.7.x` and `1.8.x` there are known some C/C++ compilator disasters, which disallow correct source code compilation (you can obtain `"... internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at ..."` error message, for example); we are not able to affect this situation afraid_  
+_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)_
+
+   2. 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 following way:  
+`File->Preferences->Settings`  (`"More preferences can be edited in file ..."`)_  
+than do it  
+`Tools->Board->BoardsManager`  
+from viewed list select an item `"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)_  
+
+
+# 2. Source code compilation
+
+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/`  
+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 them into `"Firmware/"` directory  
+
+run `"Arduino IDE"`; select the file `"Firmware.ino"` from the subdirectory `"Firmware/"` at the location, where you placed the source codes  
+`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_  
+
+run the compilation  
+`Sketch->Verify/Compile`  
+
+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"`  
+_note: this file is created in the directory `"Firmware/"`_
