Step 7Connecting the power supply to the muscle sensors
By this time, your muscle sensors and power supply should be mounted and your Arduino should be in the project enclosure. Now you should be ready to start connecting everything together and setup your electrodes.
First you'll want to give all your sensors power. Insert the plastic insert into the project enclosure and then connect each female receptacle and housing to the corresponding sensors. (Hint... the 1" wire goes to the sensor closest to the power supply, the 2" wire goes to the middle sensor on the insert, the 3" wire to the last sensor on the insert, and the 4" wire goes through the rectangular cutout to the sensor on bottom).
MAKE SURE THE CORRECT VOLTAGES ARE CONNECTED TO THE CORRESPONDING SENSOR PINS (+Vs = +5V, GND = GND, -Vs = -5V). IF NOT, YOU CAN POTENTIALLY BURN OUT YOUR SENSOR BOARD.
DOUBLE CHECK.... BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!
