Step 17Wire Everything Up
All thats left to do before we test it out is make sure is wired up.
I started by extending the wires on the actuator so they can reach the circuit board. I used 18ga wire for this job, making sure the wires were long enough to adjust for any position the actuator is in.
I just like using a basic lap splice instead of twisting wires together. First I make sure I've slid heat shrink tubing on before soldering. Then I strip and tin both wires that to be spliced together. Then I melt the tinned wires together, slide the heat shrink in place and cover the connections.
I used 24ga wire to run the battery connections out to the right spots on the circuit board.
I used another cable tie mount to add some strain relief to the wires, a little messy but it will do.
