Body Cable
23
The body cable connects the controller to the encoder sensor, whiskers, and ground lug. The body cable
will already be attached to the robot because we have already installed the whiskers and ground lug.
Route the body cable up through the rectangular hole in the robot’s body. Plug the body cable into the
controller’s 10 pin body connector which is next to the expansion connector. It will only install one
way. Next find the 2 MTA connectors on the body cable. Attach them to the encoder sensor by match-
ing the dots.
Summary:
Route the body cable up through the opening in the body.
Plug the cable into the body connector on the controller board.
Plug the MTA connectors onto the encoder sensor by matching the dots.
