1 0:00:13,000 --> 0:00:16,000 (ENGINEER DUDE) O! Pip and Piperbot are about to use the Color Sensor! 2 0:00:16,000 --> 0:00:23,000 I hope they remember what I taught them about how to connect their sensors. Maybe they need a refresher. 3 0:00:23,000 --> 0:00:29,000 (ENGINEER DUDE) These sensors are helpful tools, but there are some things to keep in mind while you are connecting them to your Raspberry Pi. 4 0:00:29,000 --> 0:00:41,000 To connect the sensor to the Raspberry Pi, we need to use the 4-Pin Diode Jumper Cable from the Sensor Explorer box. This cable is designed to keep you safe as you wire up the sensors. 5 0:00:41,000 --> 0:00:47,000 To wire up a sensor, we need to connect wires to power and ground pins on the Raspberry Pi. 6 0:00:47,000 --> 0:00:57,000 Now, normally, switching power and ground wires to connect the sensor can cause problems. It could overheat the sensor, damage the Raspberry Pi, or even the power bank. 7 0:00:57,000 --> 0:01:05,000 With the 4-Pin Diode Jumper Cable, current heading in the wrong direction is blocked so that the current can’t flow! This should keep you safe. 8 0:01:05,000 --> 0:01:08,000 (ENGINEER DUDE) And... that’s what I taught them. 9 0:01:08,000 --> 0:01:11,000 I really hope they remember!
