Wiring the wireless bridge to the robot

[CHSboy]

Okay, I got the connector and what not. How exactly do you get the wires in it? I know which goes where, but I wasn't watching anyone doing this. I was waiting for it to be done so I could test the programming, seeing as they did this without my knowledge before I could do any testing.

Here's what Section 3.2.6 Troubleshooting and FAQ of the 2009 FRC Control System Manual has to say about that:

How do I build a cable for passing 12V power to the WiFi adapter?

• Take the module's power adapter and cut the wire off close to the Wall-Wart.
• Separate the wires and strip 7mm off the ends.
• To insert wire into a WAGO 734-102 connector, push down on the actuation port in back. Alternatively, use the plastic actuation lever.
• Insert the positive (striped) wire in the right port of the WAGO 734-102 connector.
• Insert the negative wire in the left port of the WAGO 734-102 connector.
• Give a smart tug to verify the connection is secure.
• Insert the WAGO 734-102 into the mating connector on the PD.
• Power the PD, and verify that the barrel connector's centor conductor is positive.

Its a wego connector. Use the wego tool or a small screwdriver to open the connector and insert the stripped wire. You are connecting the wireless bridge power to the 12 volt connector on the power distribution board right?
