### Soldering the electronics
|
||||
1. Solder on two rows of 8 male pin headers to the D1 mini
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Solder on two rows of 8 female pin headers to the battery shield
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Solder on two rows of 8 female pin headers to the motor shield as well as a single row of bent pins. Make sure they are soldered on the right way around.
|
||||
4. In addition solder a jumper to the motor shield to connect the RTS and 3V pin. This will become important later on. Also solder the I2C bridge.
|
||||
|
||||
- Note:
|
||||
3. Connect the + pin of the connector from the battery shield to the + pin of the motor shield.
|
||||
|
||||
For this cut some small piece of wire and remove the isolation on both ends. then twist the ends and put some solder on both ends. Cut a piece of isolation and wrap it around the wire. Make sure you do this before soldering on the second end of the wire.
|
||||
After this is done, repeat the same with the - connection. Please make sure that you do not reverse the polarity!
|
||||
3. In the next step we connect the battery connector pins of the battery shield to the + and - pins of the motor shield. In addition we will add a connector to the motor shield where we can plug in the battery. Here is a schematic:
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: I added a new connector instead of using the one already on the battery shield because the plug of my battery wouldn't fit in the on on the shield*
|
||||
|
||||
|First, solder two wires to the + and - pins of the battery shield and isolate them with heat shrink: |
|
||||
|--------------|---------------|
|
||||
|Cut two small pieces of wire (about 4 cm), remove the isolation on both ends and cover them with a bit of solder | |
|
||||
|Solder the first wire to the + pin of the battery shield |  |
|
||||
| Solder the second wire to the - pin |  |
|
||||
| Cover both wires with small pieces of heat shrink tube |  |
|
||||
| Heat the shrink tube with a lighter |  |
|
||||
| This is how the battery shield should look like with the two wires |  |
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|Next, we create a connector for the female JST 2-Pin connector for pluggin in the battery: | |
|
||||
|--------------|---------------|
|
||||
| Cut two small pieces of wire (about 3 cm), remove the isolation on both ends and cover them with a bit of solder |  |
|
||||
| Solder the first wire to the JST connector | |
|
||||
| Solder the second wire to the JST connector |  |
|
||||
| Cover both wires with heat shrink |  |
|
||||
| Solder the wires to the motor shield, paying attention to the polarity *(make sure it matches the polarity of your batteries!)* |  |
|
||||
|
||||
| Now, stack the battery shield on top of the motor shield and solder the | |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| This is how it should look like in the end. Make sure all of the exposed wires are covered in heat shrink |   |
|
||||
| Now you can stack the D1 mini ontop of the battery shield |  |
|
||||
|
||||
| Now it is time to connect the D1 mini to your computer | |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
|Use a micro USB cable to connect the D1 mini to your computer |  |
