HomeWork Board - Setup
- DO NOT connect power to your board until instructed to do so!
Affixing the Rubber Feet
Your board should come with four adhesive rubber feet:
- Remove each rubber foot from its adhesive, and affix it to the underside of your board near each corner. Make sure not to cover up the plated holes, you might need these holes later for mounting your board in a project box or on a robot.
Making the Board Connections
- Connect the female end of the serial cable to the serial port on your computer (it is a 9-pin male port).
- Connect the male end of the serial cable to the DB9 connector on the board, as shown in (1).
- Connect a 9 V alkaline or rechargeable battery to the battery clip (2). (See for more about batteries and battery replacer devices.)
