Boe-Bot's construction ??'s

BIGMAN131307

Hello, Im new to all this Boe Bot's and stuff, so please be kind.

So I have a Boe-Bot (#28132) I have put it all together, except for wires.

I don't know which wires to use and where to put them. The little red, yellow...
wires are the one Im referring to.

The guide book included just tells/shows where the other parts connect. The
wires are pictured in the guide book, there is no info explaining which colored
wire goes where.

Please help me get my Boe-Bot together.

Thx

The color of the wires doesn't matter.· The connections are important and those are shown.· If you want a color version of the manual then you could download the PDF version from our website and see which colors were used in the connections, although, as I said, the colors don't matter much.· They're chosen for clarity.· Most people use Black for Ground connections and Red for power connections.

Well, it is just a wire regardless of what color it is.· The red wire and the black wire, for example are electricaly identical.· The circuit has no clue what color the wire is.· A link is posted below.· In the meantime please check your private messages.
