Distance Sensor Mod

By using an exacto knife you can remove the wires on a standard servo cable and rearrange the pin connections to meet your needs.

Pic 1 shows an exacto knife where the catch pin on the wire will be. By using a bit of patience you can remove the wires from the connector and replace them in the proper order.

Than take another servo cable and remove two of the wires, this will leave you with the remaining one to place in the correct location on the sensor.

Pics 2 and 3 shows the finished modification to the connectors, this also would help those that have a problem with soldering in tight areas or those that don't have to a solder iron avaliable.

One added feature of this idea is that now the two cables that comes with your EZ-Robot Kit can now be used to make a "very long" servo connection cable by plugging a standard servo cable into it.

Enjoy

Thanks Larystoy!

That is a very useful and practical solution for connecting the Ping sensor, I will be using your idea on mine too. I am curious to see what your Robot looks like. :)
