* The HAT has two rows of 5 connections, with labels M1, M2, M3, and M4
|
|
|
* In the 5 connections, the first and last two are the connections to the motor while the center connection is the ground
|
|
|
* Plug 4 of the jumper cables into the connections for the motor (add tape to ensure secure connection)
|
|
|
* For the first motor,
|

* the second two should go into the two slots under M2 (leaving the middle ground port vacant)
|
|
|
* For the second motor,
|
|
|
* the first two cables should go into the two slots under M3
|
|
|
* the second two should go into the two slots under M4 (leaving the middle ground port vacant)
|
|
