Wiring the Distance Sensor

Locate two (2) male-male 20 cm wires, 1 black and 1 red. See Figure 7.7.

Figure 7.7

Jumper wires are used to create more pins for power and ground. They also help clear the
clutter of wires. See Figure 7.8 and a close-up of 7.9.

Use the red wire as a jumper wire from your STEM Board 5V Pin to the breadboard.

Use the black wire as a jumper wire from your STEM Board GND to the breadboard.
