The power board contains a connector for an external On|Off switch.
1817
If you do not intend to connect a switch then you must still make this connection.
1918
You can do this by connecting a short loop of wire between the two terminals of a suitable CamCon and placing it in the external On|Off port.
19+
Any of the wire we provide would be suitable for this.

Each of the modules in the kit needs to be provided with both a control signal and power in order to operate.

All the boards use USB to connect to the [Brain Board](/docs/kit/brain_board) so it can tell them what to do.
2626
If you run out of USB ports on the Brain Board itself, then you can use the provided USB hubs to provide more ports.
