For robots not using these boards, it might be more convenient to install the board and
pins facing up and connect to them with a cable made from our wires with pre-crimped
terminals.
The included low-profile headers are still long enough to work with our
pre-crimped jumper wires.
To later use the same encoders with a board that they can plug into, just pull the motor
portion off of the gearbox, rotate it 180°, and push it back in to make the encoder and
pins point down.
The motor can be removed from the
gearbox even when the encoder is soldered
to the motor.
The motor portion can be removed
from the gearbox and rotated 180° to
change whether the connector pins
point up or down.
