To me, anyway.
After visiting with Nick yesterday, I crafted this diagram in an effort to make sense of the build and the steps to wiring up the booms:
I’ve never worked with EC3 connectors before, and the kit is lousy with them, so I watched this video to figure out how to work with them, and specifically to figure out how the little metal bits snap into the blue connectors. The trick seems to be to push them in when they’re still hot from soldering.
[…] I’m not entirely sure how I’ll connect these up, but since they’re 12 volt, I will probably just integrate a pair of wires on a JST connector into the soon-to-be-built power harness. Now that I think about it, I’ll need another pair for the video Tx. I suppose that means I’ll have to update the diagram. […]
[…] but I’m happy with the result. I added two JST connectors – I need to update the diagram to reflect two connectors instead of one – which will power the LEDs and the video […]
