2 Reassemble with IRIS+ parts

Now you’ll switch to reassembling IRIS with the parts from the Upgrade Kit, 
starting with the preconnected arms, motors, legs, and ESC.

First, disconnect the red-and-black six-wire cable from the old ESC, and 
connect to the same port on the new ESC.

Before you attach the ESC to the bottom shell, you’ll need to arrange the cables 
so they will be situated properly to connect to Pixhawk.

Locate the gimbal cable: red, brown, and yellow three wire with split connectors. 
Thread it through the slots in the bottom shell. (LED and USB cables not pictured.)

Thread the red-and-black two-wire cable with the red JST connector through 
the slots in the bottom shell.

Place the bottom shell against the plate and ensure that the six-wire power 
cable, the four-wire white cable, the gimbal cable, and the single-wire black 
cable thread through the space between the shell and the plate so that they 
can connect to Pixhawk. Be aware of the placement of the USB module on 
the side of the bottom shell, and place it carefully in relation to the plate so it 
isn’t damaged.
