Attach the Ping))) and IR Sensors to the Base as shown in Figure 8b. Place the #6/32 x ½” socket head

cap screw through the holes in each of the stands and then carefully screw them down evenly into the

Base. Take it slow and easy. Make a few turns on one screw and then a few turns on the other, gently

bringing the assembly down into full contact with the Base. Make them snug, but do not over-tighten.

Step 9: Eddie Control Board Installation

Orient the Control Board as shown in Figure 9, and use (4) 4-40 x 1/4 “ machine screws to attach it to

the (4) hex standoffs in the center of the platform.

Be certain that the switches are in their “Off” positions (the switches light up when they’re “ON”).

Connect each of the motor drive connectors to their respective receptacles on the Control Board.

Connect the Main Power connector (coming from the Switch Plate) to the large power connector on the

Control Board.
