Putting It All Together

Fabricate two standoffs using 1/4-inch nylon or plastic tubing cut
to a length of 3/8-inch. These will be used to raise the PCB up off
of the robot’s body when it is mounted. Place the standoffs
between the mounting holes and the circuit board and secure in
place with two 6/32-inch 3/4-inch nylon machine screws and
nuts. Figure 4.60 shows the board mounted to the robot.

Follow the connection diagram in Figure 4.59 to connect all of the
individual components. The power connector cable that was just
fabricated should be connected so that the female 2-post headers
are plugged into the BT1 connectors, so that the terminals with the
