In this section you will connect the motor cables to the GoPiGo Red Board, attach the canopy, and hook up the rechargeable battery pack.
Connect the motor cables to the GoPiGo3 Board.
The cables can only be oriented in one direction.
The connectors need to be pushed in fully.
It is very important to ensure that the right motor is connected to the right motor port on the board, and the left motor to the left motor port on the board.
From the Acrylic Hardware Bag:
Place one washer on each screw.
Gently set the acrylic canopy on top of the four tall silver posts.
There is a small slot cutout on the acrylic for a camera that should be towards the front of the GoPiGo, and the two battery pack slot cutouts should face towards the back.
Secure the acrylic canopy in place with the screws.
From the Battery Box:
Thread the velcro strap through the battery strap cutouts on the acrylic body.
There are two locations you can put the battery pack:
Plug the battery cable into the black power port of the red board (next to the power button).
Gently rest the battery pack on your robot.
Secure the battery pack to your robot with the red battery strap.
*Notice the power switch on the battery. The battery will need to be on before starting the robot. However, the robot should be turned off before turning off the battery.
