How to Connect More Devices

You need to set up a "tripler" so we can easily hook up additional electronics like the RGB ring and water pump controller to your microcontroller.

  1. Here are the items you need (not the quarter tho : )).

2. Make sure you understand the top and bottom of the board. If you solder the board upsidedown, it will be garbage. The top has pin names and numbers on it! The bottom has only the part number.

The bottom will have the short pins sticking out for soldering. Here's what a finished soldered tripler looks like from the bottom

3. Here's the finished tripler from the top.

4. Plug your microcontroller into any spot that it fits, but I recommend the center, as shown.


Check! Are your solder joints amazing? They should look like perfect little silver mountains!
