Orangutan SVP kit PCB showing possible locations for included buzzer,
pushbuttons, headers, and terminal blocks.
1. Power button
To turn on your the AVR, you need to connect a power button (or a jumper at location 11). The
Orangutan SVP PCB has two parallel sets of holes for the power button. You can solder a pushbutton
between the wider set of holes, and/or you can make your own connection to the narrower of holes
using an included 1×2 header or direct soldering. If the Orangutan is not easily accessible inside your
robot, this allows you to install a momentary power switch in a more convenient location.
2. Power input
There are two parallel connection points provided for the 6–13.5V power input. You can install a
3.5mm terminal block on the large holes to accommodate large wires. You can also install a 1×2 male
header on the smaller holes and plug a
battery pack

directly
in to it.
3. Motor outputs
You can install two 3.5mm terminal blocks to accommodate your motor leads.
4. User I/O blocks
The AVR user I/O pins are divided in to four blocks. The kit comes with enough 3×4 headers so that
you can choose for each block whether to make its pins female or male. You can also mix the genders
together within one block using the other included headers.
