Build Your First Robot: Step-By-Step-Plans

Wire Up
Prepare the wiring and electrical components:

Jumper wires. Construction goes faster with pre-made jumper wires for the BYFR?s main electrical cables. You want an assortment of five or 10 female-female jumpers, 3" long.

Speaker. There are no circuits to build but you need to solder wires to a speaker, battery leads, and switches. I?ve specified a piezo speaker; don?t use an ordinary 8? dynamic speaker. It?ll draw too much current and possibly damage the Arduino.

Snap headers.? Breakaway header pins are used to connect the wiring to the Arduino and breadboard. Be sure to get the double-long header pins, which are long on both sides of the center barrier.
