provides means for more precise motor control, but requires selecting PID values matching motor
characteristics, which can be non-trivial to determine. Also note that the maximum current draw is 1A.
A motor which exceeds this will probably cause the KIPR Link to crash.
You will need to read the data sheet for the particular motor you are using to figure out how the motor
needs to be wired and whether or not it can be operated using a KIPR Link motor port and PWM to vary
motor response.
KIPR DC motors use wire peeled from standard 28AWG ribbon cable, which because it is stranded is
much more flexible than solid wire. Your DC motor connection will require a two wire cable (as is the
case for connecting a DC motor to a battery).
KIPR motor plugs are based on 1 x 3 male headers clipped from longer header rows, with the middle pin
pulled clear to provide a gap between Pin 1 and Pin 3.
To make the connection between motor and plug, form leads by separating the wires a small amount
on each end of the cable, then strip off enough insulation to be able to solder the leads to your motor
connections on one end and to the plug on the other.
Once your cable is attached to your plug and your motor, you need to insulate the leads to prevent any
cross contact. KIPR sensors use hot melt glue and shrink wrap tubing for this purpose, which on the plug
end also stabilizes the connection and provides strain relief (to flatten the glue before it hardens,
sandwich between two refrigerated pieces of smooth metal, then trim off excess glue using a razor knife
or sharp scissors).
Before plugging your new motor into your KIPR Link, use a multi meter to check for shorts and for
continuity between motor connections and plug pins.
Navigate to the motors screen on the KIPR Link (

), and plug in your motor.
