3.c. Included Hardware
The qik ships with a 12×1
a 3×2
, three
.
For the most compact installation, you can solder wires directly to the qik pins themselves and skip using the
included hardware. For high-current installations, you should avoid using the supplied terminal blocks, which are
rated for up to 15 A, and instead directly solder the motor and power supply wires to the pads.
The included hardware allows you to make less permanent connections. You can break the 12×1 header strip
into a 6×1 piece and two 2×1 pieces and solder these strips into the qik’s logic pins where you plan on making
connections, or you can use a pair of pliers to pull out the two header pins in the original 12×1 strip for which the
qik has no holes and solder the entire strip to the qik’s logic pins. You can see this latter approach in the picture
below. You can then make your own cables that have
on
them and plug these onto the male headers on your qik, or you can solder the pins to the other side of the board
and simply plug your qik into a breadboard. You might also consider using a
(not included) for a lower profile.
