If you have a USB WiFi module and an eMMC module or microSD card, you can install that now.

SERVO CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

Install the servo controller on the GPIO pins. The servo controller's connector should be flush with 
the bottom-most pins on the ODROID.

SCREEN INSTALLATION

Install the screen on the pass-through header on the servo controller. The buttons on the screen 
should be at the top.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Place the battery in the battery holder at the back of the pelvis with the connector wire facing up. 
Connect the connector wire to the C0. It is recommended to charge the battery during installation if 
possible. This will give OWEN more run time after installation.

SERVO WIRE INSTALLATION

The servo wires can be routed through the body and pelvis of the robot to keep slack to a minimum. 
However, make sure to leave enough slack in the wires to allow full range of motion for the servos.

Connect the servo wires to the servo controller with the brown wire on the servo connector closest 
to the servo controller, and the orange wire on the servo connector toward the front of the robot.

Starting from the robot's left most servo controller connector, connect the servos in this order:

- Left hip 
- Left foot
- Right hip
- Right foot

SERVO ARM INSTALLATION

Flip the switch on the C0. The servos should initialize. Turn the C0 back off.

Connect the white servo arms of the ankles to the pelvis servos facing directly away from each
