00:00:00	so the purpose of this video is going to be to attach everything back onto the Raspberry Pi and see if we can get all those peripherals working again now that we have them soldered permanently to the Raspberry Pi motor stepper hat I'm
00:00:13	hoping that we can run that script that tests all the peripherals and we can make sure that the stepper Motors are still working that the limit switches stopped them and the addressable LED strip lights up as it's supposed to and
00:00:27	hopefully turns off unlike how it was doing before I can get rid of all these temporary connections which is nice these used to be attached to the limit switches and as always I have to put my glasses on to
00:00:38	gain intelligence points okay so the first order of business is just to reattach the stepper motor hat back to the Raspberry Pi we'll do that with four screws that I have on these 3D printed orange standoffs here
00:00:58	[Music] the stiffer motor hat is now secured back to the Raspberry Pi and we're just going to start plugging the peripherals back in we have a limit switch with a female jst connector here and we're just
00:01:14	going to attach that to the male jst connector that we attached to the stepper motor hat yesterday same thing with the limit switch with the mail connector we're going to attach that to the female connector that's what I was
00:01:29	talking about yesterday I wanted to set these up so that you couldn't screw up the connections at least in theory we have an addressable LED strip with a three pin female jst connector and we'll attach that to the three pin mail
00:01:47	connector so I just took a quick look at the pictures that I took the other day of the stepper Motors when they were plugged into the stepper motor hat and the wiring order is blue red green and black so I will do that in that order
00:02:01	for both steper Motors so in theory everything is soldered on to the project board on the Raspberry Pi motor hat exactly the same way it was laid out on this breadboard but we can get rid of this tangle of
00:02:41	wires and resistors and we made it look a lot neater down here so hopefully everything works so here's the moment of truth so hopefully everything is wired correctly and we're going to plug everything into
00:02:54	the power supply and into the Monitor and make sure that everything is working but if everything is working again will'll see both stepper Motors rotating they'll stop when I activate the limit switches and the LED strip will also
00:03:07	light up so let's see what happens okay so here's the moment of truth I'm going to run the script that we ran a couple of days ago to test all of the peripherals and we'll see how it goes
00:04:12	so I think that's enough for this video we got the two-stepper motors and the two limit switches working we're having a little problem with the addressable LEDs but we'll get that sorted out in tomorrow's
00:04:23	video this is day 21 of a 30-day challenge I've given myself to post a video to YouTube every day in the month of September and as always if you have feedback from me about how I can wire a coin bot better or how I can make better
00:04:30	videos please leave a comment down below but for now that's my two cents thanks for watching everyone stay awesome
