Wire it up

by Bill Earl

Solder the wires to the sensor

Connect the wires to the sensor breakout as shown.

  • Note that the black and green wires are twisted together and both soldered to the GND pin.  
  •  Solder a short wire to the sensor pad and connect the other end to the ornament.  Make sure that it makes good electrical contact with the ornament.
  •  You can disguise the sensor breakout with a bit of ribbon.
