Step 16Servo Wire & Making Connections
To complete the hardware connections I decided to get some servo wire and connectors so I could customize the length of wire for a perfect fit. I also wanted to have the ability to detach my RBBB and LED strips from the sneakers.
Once I cut the wire to length and crimped the connectors, I trimmed off the excess wire from the LED strips and soldered the servo wire to it at the back/heel end of the sneaker. The idea is to make the LED strip one component that will plug into a connector that is attached to the RBBB. Same idea for the Reed Sensors.
Solder two sets of wires to the RBBB:
PIN 9 & GND
PIN 2 & 5V
Plug in the LED strip and Reed Sensors to the corresponding connectors.
