<p>The SSC-32 should be configured for 115.2 kbaud and DB9 communication, with the VS2=VS1 jumper installed. Remove the VL=VS jumper. Consult the SSC-32 manual if needed. Attach the wiring harness to VS1. Connect 8" of 24AWG wire (not included) AND the 9V battery clip to VL to provide power for the electronics. For now, put electrical tape on the end of the wire. <span class="warning">Make sure red wires go to (+) and black wires go to (−).</span> Using four 4-40 x 3/8" hex socket screws, attach the 1.0" hex spacers to the board as shown.</p>

<p>Slip the SSC-32 in through the hole in the top of the robot and use four 4-40 x 3/8" hex socket screws to attach the board as shown. <b>Make sure the DB9 port is at the front of the robot, opposite the power switch hole!</b> This ensures you can easily plug in the servo cables. Install the power switch in the power switch hole at the rear of the robot.</p>
