My parts arrived yesterday. I started cutting out some SIP connectors to connect the accelerometer, digital compass and directional IR sensor. The other IR sensors came with cables, so that was nice. Unfortunately, I ran a little short on connectors, but I was able to salvage a 4-pin connector from a computer speaker. I also found some ribbon cable that I'll use for these connectors. This means I need to add some pin headers for a 4-pin, 5-pin and 8-pin connector to the robot. That means I will probably have to remake my shield, which I thought I'd have to do anyhow so I can make use of additional pins on the bigger arduino. For testing purposes though, I will hook stuff up to a breadboard and connect that to the arduino using single wires. Once I get everything working, I'll redesign a shield. I'm sure I'll need to get more SIP connectors and pin headers to get that finished though. When you try desoldering used pin headers, it gets ugly. So, I'll be adding that to my shopping list. More work to do on it.
