Connect your pan servo to A4 and your tilt servo to A5 with the white signal wire towards the female

Fit small black and red female to female jumper wires to Vcc and ground as shown in the photo. These
will provide power for the infrared compound eye. Check the third photo if your not certain where to
connect something or download the manual from my support site . Connect the red and black power
wires from the eye.
The motor control circuitry connects to the processor via 4 jumpers. remove the jumpers on D8 and
D10. Leave the jumpers on D7 and D9. This allows us to use D8 to control the IR LEDs on the eye.
D10 might be used to control a small speaker or LED. The left motor control circuit is still connected
and can be used to drive a small shaker motor to make the tail wag.
Connect your orange jumper wire to D8 and connect your 4 analog outputs from your eye.
A0 is up.
A1 is left.
A2 is down.
A3 is right.
