*Using the tin snips, cut 6 pieces of 20cm black wire, 2 pieces of 20cm red wire, 5 pieces of 1.5m black wire, and 1 piece of 1.5m red wire.


== Fabrication Steps ==
*Using the wire strippers at 22 gauge, strip half a centimetre at one end of the 6 pieces of 20cm black wire and 1 piece of 20cm red wire.


*Assemble entire Control Box
*Using the wire strippers at 18 gauge, strip a centimetre at the other ends of the 6 pieces of 20cm black wire and the 1 piece of 20cm red wire, as well as both ends of the other 1 piece of 20cm red wire, the 5 pieces of 1.5m black wire, and the 1 piece of 1.5m red wire.
**Blue spacer box - Arduino attached on top with 2 small screws. Slightly slanted attachment to make screw holes fit on blue spacer box
**Terminal in electrical outlet box cut in half on metal cutoff saw to create + and - terminals
**Plastic mount on bottom of electrical box was shaved to allow 2 solenoid drivers to fit


*Using the crimper, crimp the 10 to 12 gauge ring insulated connector at one of the 1 centimetre stripped ends of the 6 pieces of 20cm black wire, the 2 pieces of 20cm red wire, the 5 pieces of 1.5m black wire, and the 1 piece of 1.5m red wire.
Also crimp the 10 to 12 gauge small hole ring insulated connector at the remaining 1cm end of the 20cm red wire and crimp the 14 to 16 gauge ring connector to the remaining 1cm ends of the 5 pieces of 1.5m black wire and 1 piece of 1.5m red wire.


== Test ==
*Using the screwdriver with the number 2 philips bit, connect the small ring end of the 20cm red wire to the remaining power switch terminal.
*Test Arduino on laptop - for example by [http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink blinking Channel 13 output on Duemilanove].


*Test sensors by passing magnets over them. See this sample code.
*Insert the large ring end of the 6 1.5m wires through the bottom-middle hole of the lug box.
**[http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Components/General/Hall-US1881EUA.pdf Data Sheet]
**Supply voltage is 5V from the Arduino breakout shield
**The pins are +,-, OUT reading from top (printed / smaller face)
**The output is "Open Drain" - this means you need a "pull up" resistor on the output (10K connected to +)
**This model is "latching" which means it turns on from one pole, and off by the other, remembering its state in the meantime.


Controller checklist (ie, So you don't burn your components, check these):
*Using the screwdriver with the number 2 philips bit, connect the large ring end of the 1.5m red wire, the remaining ring end of the switch-connected 20cm red wire, and the ring end of the other 20cm red wire to the bottom-left screw of the terminal platform.


#Arduino powers on with USB cord? Check.
*Connect the large ring end of the 5 1.5m black wires and the ring end of 5 20cm black wires to the top 5 screws of the terminal platform. Then connect the ring end of the remaining 20cm black wire to the bottom-right screw of the terminal platform.
#Arduino works - ex. blink Channel 13 with an LED? Check. Atmega 328 Duemilanove - on Ubuntu 10.04.
#Controller main power switch light red when battery is connected and switch is turned on? Check.
#With Molex connectors disconnected, 12V appears at pins 1 and 2?
#With Molex connectors plugged into solenoid driver boards, main power switch turns the drivers on?
#Arduino powers on with battery supply after flipping main switch on?
#Solenoid drivers are turned on with main switch?
#Solenoids turn all of their MOSFETS as seen via indicator lights?
#Solenoids can cycle the solenoid valves?

*Using the flathead screwdriver, connect the half centimetre ends of the 6 pieces of 20cm black wire to the lower terminal of the 5 mosfet terminal blocks, and the left terminal of the power terminal block. Note that the mosfet connections from left to right on the terminal platform should go from bottom to top on the solenoid driver. Also connect the half centimetre end of the 1 piece of 20cm red wire to the right terminal of the power terminal block.


*Insert the 2 sensor units by their wire end into the right-bottom hole of the lug box.


*Test solenoid valves by attaching power to battery and running this sample code for 2 solenoid channels.
*Using the flathead screwdriver, connect the bluewhite wires, orange wires, and blue wires into the top, middle, and bottom terminal blocks, respectively, on the right side of the solenoid driver.
**Note we can reduce 3 solenoid channels to 2 by running both the shaker motor and the drawer cylinder from the same channel - the shaker is activated at every stroke of the drawer, as there is ample hydraulic fluid flow available in that part of the overall CEB operation cycle.


*Using the screwdriver with the number 2 philips bit, screw-tighten the wire clamp at the right-bottom hole of the lug box.
