8. Cut three pieces of heat-shrink tubing, and slip each one over
each of the wires that were attached to the potentiometer.
Solder the middle wire from the potentiometer to the two
resistor leads that are twisted together. Solder the left wire to
the left resistor lead, and solder the right wire to the right
resistor lead of the resistor network. Push the heat-shrink
tubing up over the solder connections and shrink into place
with a heat source. The finished resistor network with the
wires soldered and the heat-shrink tubing in place should
look like the one in Figure 4.14. Once this is complete, push
the resistor network and the wires back into the servo in the
space where the potentiometer was previously.
