Connecting the capacitors to the control board

It is essential to wire the capacitors for the motors to the
control board. Typically these are wired into the same
terminals as the Brown (opening) and the Black
(closing) wires. In effect, both will be sharing the same
terminal space. Without the capacitor, the motors will
struggle to start and may “BUZZ” without movement to
the mechanical arm.

Connection illustrated right:

Having attached the motor(s), we can now introduce the photocells to the control board.
