The Power Board Wires

The Power Board sends power to the DC-DC Buck Converter, and needs two wires to do so.

The Power Board has two holes in the top center of the PCB for wires to be soldered into.

These wires will carry the power from the Board to the buck converter, so, as with the Paw Boards, they need to be thick enough to handle the current without overheating.
We recommend using 18 AWG wire, the same as for the Paw Boards, since they will handle the same amount of current (more power, but at higher voltage, so the current is the same).

The connections

The space between the DC-DC Buck Converter and the Power Board is pretty small, so these wires don't need to be very long.

Cut the wires at a length of 2cm. If the wires are longer it will be harder to screw the board in place, and if they are shorter they won't be able to reach the buck converter.

Here's a picture of the final board, with the XT30 connector soldered in, and the wires soldered to the board with the ring terminals crimped at the end.

Don't forget to add heat shrink tubing to the wires so that there's no risk of short circuits later!

As for the wires of the Paw Boards, crimp the ring terminals at the end of the wires, and use heats shrink tubing to protect the connections !

Okay, it seems that all the components are ready !
We'll now modify the motors of the robot to add feedback capabilities!
