By now, you've successfully installed the toaster's motherboard. Now, let's get our hands dirty with the wiring. Don't be afraid, it's like assembling IKEA - except, you know, for the parts that aren't made of plastic and don't come with a 3-year warranty.
For this part, we'll be using the following tools:
Now, let's get our wires in order:
Step 2.1: Connecting the Power Source
Connect the power source to the toaster's power input. Don't overthink it, just plug it in. Like your aunt.
Step 2.2: Wiring the Heating Elements
Now it's time to get cozy with the heating elements. Use your wire stripper to strip the insulation off the wires, then solder them to the heating element terminals. Don't worry, it's like soldering on a toaster - if it gets a little messy, just pretend it's a work of art.
Step 2.3: Connecting the Control Panel
Connect the control panel to the toaster's brain (aka, the microcontroller). This is where the magic happens. Or not.
That's it for now! You're getting close to having your toaster up and running. Next up: Step 3: Updating Your Toaster's Software.
