11. Fasten  the  servo  in  between  the  two  servo  mounting  brackets  and 

connect the mounting brackets tightly by using the longer screws from the 
servo  bag.  Connect  your  servo  and  the small  white  servo  beam  and  use 
one  of  the  screws  found  in  the  bag  to  ensure  that  the  motor  stays 
straight.  

The HC-SR04 sensor can be mounted on the servo brackets and the servo 
holder  can  be  installed  on  the  back  of  the  chassis.  You  can  use  four 
screws and four nuts to secure it. A good tip to keep the HC-SR04 sensor 
form  reading  the  ground  as  an  object  in  the  software  is  to  tilt  it  slightly 
upwards.  

12. Now that all the parts are assembled, we need to connect them all. For   

that we are going to use the jumper wires and AWG wires. 

The wires can 

be hooked on or soldered on.

 

-

 

Connect the power wire  (red) of the battery holder to the  lead under 

the “O” part of the ON/OFF switch. The ground wire (black) should go 
to the negative (-) sign on the power jack.  

-

 

Take another power wire (red) and connect it from the lead under the 
“I” part of the ON/OFF switch to the positive sign on the power jack.  

You can use the heat shrinks to extend the wires. 

13. You need to connect the DC Motor next. Use the power and ground wires 

provided  and  connect  the  DC  Motor  to  the  L298N  Dual  H-Bridge  motor 
driver. An example below to guide you:
