|
### Materials
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 1 Crocodile clip cable
|
||||||
|
* 1 male (pig tail) cable
|
||||||
|
* Cutting pliers or wire cutter
|
||||||
|
* 1 shrink wrap cables and a lighter
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Simple cut the cables, strip them, thread the cables together and cover with the shrink wrap.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### ~ hint
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is very **important** to ensure that there is a good connection between the 2 cables.
|
||||||
|
If the connection is weak, the microservo will not receive enough current and it will not work.
|
||||||
|
**If you have access to a soldering iron, we strongly recommend to solder this connection.**
