| - | - Attach power cable to terminal connector as shown. Note the location of the polarizing “nubs” shown by the arrow. Pin 1 gets the black wire, and pin 2 gets the red wire. When using the terminal connector, first loosen the connector's fasteners by turning them counter-clockwise to open the internal clamps. Then insert the wires and tighten by turning the fasteners clockwise. Tug on the wires to make sure they are secure. Your Vizy screwdriver is perfect for this job. :-) \\ {{wiki:image_320.jpg?600}} | + | - Attach power cable to terminal connector as shown.

| The light is software-controlled and normally the pins on Vizy's I/O connector don't supply power until you tell them to do so. The easiest way to enable power (currently) is through Python code, or by bringing up a Python interpreter. | The light is software-controlled and normally the pins on Vizy's I/O connector don't supply power until you tell them to do so.
