For chassis and Electronics assembly please refer to the Instruction Manual

Microcontroller Power Connections

We recommend soldering wires for good electronic continuity.
Use a phillips screwdriver to loosen all the motor terminal connections before making a connection.

Take a length of wire and connect it between the positive terminal of the microcontrollers M-VIN terminal and the middle pole of the switch. Take another length of wire and connect it from the left pole of the switch to the positive terminal of the battery charging jack. From the same terminal of the jack, connect another length of wire to the positive terminal of the power supply (or a female jack adapter, as in the diagram).

The GND wire needs to run from the GND terminal of the microcontroller (next to M-VIN terminal). It needs to run to the negative terminal of the battery charger jack, and then from the same negative terminal of the battery charger jack to the negative terminal of the power supply.

Motor Connections

We recommend soldering wires to each motor for good electronic continuity. Tinning the opposite end of the wire is also a good idea. Use a phillips screwdriver to loosen M1's motor terminals on the microcontroller. Insert the positive and negative motor wires in to positive and negative terminals on the microcontroller, and tighten the terminals again. Repeat the process for M2.

Supplying Power

You can power the robot by 5xAA batteries or a 7.5v LiPo battery. We recommend the LiPo battery option as it is rechargeable.
