# Crocodile clips
|
|
|
|
The large holes at the bottom of the board are designed to attach alligator/crocodile clips
|
|
to create electrical circuit with other components.
|
|
|

# ~hint

|
|
**No crocodile clips!?!?!** Use [wires or aluminium foil](/device/foil-circuits)!

## Connecting crocodile clips
|
|
|
|
The hole for ``P0`` and ``GND`` allow to grab the board on the side which makes for a great grip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pass one jaw in the hole and grab the side of the board with the other jaw.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the center holes, ``P1`` and ``P2``, you can also grab the bottom of the board but they are a bit harder to grip.
|
|
|
|
You can also grip the board between the jaws. In which case, you will want to make sure to avoid overlapping the jaws
|
|
with the other pins as it will create short-circuit in the board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding a little tape helps keeping the crocodile clips in place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example: on pin pressed with random numbers
|
|
|
|
This example displays a random number every time the crocodile clip holds `GND` then connects and disconnects the `P0` pin.
|
|
Each time the crocodile clip is firmly connected and disconnected from pin `P0`,
|
|
the @boardname@ will return a random Number between 0 and the parameter limit.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
|
|
basic.showNumber(randint(0, 10))
|
|
})
|
|
```
