 +===== Hooking things up =====
 +
 +Using the terminal blocks with Vizy is easy!  ​
 +
 +  - Start by opening the clamp (loosening) the screw in the terminal block. ​ Use the screwdriver that came with your Vizy.  Note, the Vizy screwdriver is reversible. ​ One side is phillips, the other side is standard. ​ You want to use the standard side.    ​
 +  - Insert the wire into the opening.
 +  - Tighten the screw. ​
 +  - Repeat for other wires. ​
 +  - Insert the terminal block into Vizy.  ​
 +
 +===== Using with software =====
 +
 +The Vizy applications such as the birdfeeder application use specific pins of the I/O connector to control things such as lights, motors, relays, and sprinkler valves.  ​
 +
 +If you wish to control the I/O signals with your own code, check out the [[wiki:​api_VizyPowerBoard|Power Board API]]. ​   ​
