On the other side of the alligator clip, there are two wires that have a clip at the end. Grab a jumper wire; notice
one side has a pin sticking out? That is called a male connector. The other side, which doesn’t have a pin sticking
out, is the female side. Connect the alligator clips to the male sides of two different jumper wires.

In your kit, you should have a flex sensor, force sensor and trimpot. When the flex sensor is bent in any direction,
the sensor’s values changes. When pressure is applied to the force sensor, the sensor’s value changes. When you
rotate the trimpot’s knob left or right, the values changes.
To add the flex or force sensor:
Both sensors have two male pins at the end. Choose one sensor you want to work with, and plug each of the
sensor’s male pins into a female end of two different jumper wire.
