Step 2 - Assemble Dimm - Wiring up the head

To get started with Dimm, we want 

to wire up his hands and the Speaker.

Attach the red crocodile clip from 

the speaker to pin 0.

Attach the blue crocodile clip from 

Dimm’s hands to pin 1.

Attach the black & yellow crocodile 

clips to the pin marked GND for 

‘Ground’.
