Connect Your BOE to the DHB-10

Connect Your BOE to the DHB-10

The BOE connections to the Arlo’s DHB-10 motor control board use the same servo ports as the ones you used to connect to your Boe-Bot’s servos.  

  • Complete the Arlo Robot Assembly Guide first (IMPORTANT).
  • Turn off the Arlo’s MAIN and MOTOR power switches.
  • Set the BOE’s 3-position power switch to 0.
  • IMPORTANT! Make sure the jumper between servo headers P14 and P13 is set to Vdd, NOT Vin. (See image, below.)
  • Use a 4-inch 3-wire cable to connect the P13 servo to the DHB-10’s CH1 port.
  • Use another 4-inch 3-wire cable to connect the P12 servo to the DHB-10’s CH2 port.
  • Double-check that the 3-wire cables are oriented properly, with the black wires connecting to the pins labeled BLACK.
  • Connect the Arlo’s +6.5 V Aux barrel plug to the BOE’s barrel jack.
