We left our robot looking like a moving nest of wires, so what to do about it. Keith’s beautiful 3d renders always miss out the wiring that is a necessary evil when putting one of these together. Thankfully Keith was also able to come up with a solution! Our own interface PCB to get rid of a fair number of wires and sort out the build. Ki-CAD to the rescue. Keith produced some boards to support the Blinkts we were using as well as a main board to fit HAT style on the Pi.

After fitting the various header pins and ribbon cables it really does look the part, much neater.
