Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters Documentation

Pin Configuration

Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters
The Hook up Wire (red) is a 5-meter long, single-core insulated wire commonly used for connecting electronic components, breadboards, and PCBs. This documentation will guide you through the structure and connectivity of the wire.
Pins:
Since the Hook up Wire (red) is a single-core wire, it has only one pin.
Pin Structure:
1. Single Core (Red Insulation):
The single core is the conducting part of the wire, made of copper or aluminum.
The core is insulated with a red-colored plastic or PVC material.
The single core has a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm to 1 mm.
Connecting the Wire:
To connect the Hook up Wire (red), follow these steps:
1. Strip the Insulation:
Use wire strippers to remove about 5-10 mm of the red insulation from the end of the wire, exposing the single core.
Be careful not to damage the core during the stripping process.
2. Twist and Tin (Optional):
If you need to connect the wire to a breadboard or a terminal block, twist the exposed core to create a neat and compact connection point.
Apply a small amount of solder to the twisted core (tinning) to enhance the connection reliability.
3. Connect to Desired Component:
Insert the stripped and twisted (if applicable) end of the wire into the desired connection point, such as a breadboard hole, terminal block, or a component's pin.
Make sure the wire is securely seated and won't come loose over time.
Important Notes:
Always ensure the wire is connected to the correct pin or terminal to avoid any damage to the components or the entire circuit.
Use the appropriate gauge of wire for your project to prevent voltage drops, heat generation, or other issues.
When working with electrical connections, make sure to follow proper safety precautions, such as using insulated tools and avoiding short circuits.

Hardware Requirements

Arduino Uno board
 Breadboard
 Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters
 LED module
 Resistor (1k)

Software Requirements

Arduino IDE

Code
```c++
const int ledPin = 13;  // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  // Set LED pin as output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // Turn on LED
  delay(1000);                // Wait 1 second
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn off LED
  delay(1000);                // Wait 1 second
}
```
Connections

1. Connect the Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters to digital pin 13 of the Arduino Uno board.
2. Connect the other end of the wire to the positive leg of the LED module on the breadboard.
3. Connect the resistor to the negative leg of the LED module and the ground rail on the breadboard.

### Example 2: Connecting a Temperature Sensor to a Raspberry Pi

In this example, we will use the Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters to connect a DS18B20 temperature sensor to a Raspberry Pi.

Hardware Requirements

Raspberry Pi
 DS18B20 temperature sensor
 Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters
 Breadboard

Software Requirements

Raspbian OS
 Python 3.x

Code
```python
import os
import time

# Set the sensor file path
sensor_file = '/sys/bus/w1/devices/28-000007123456/w1_slave'

while True:
    # Read the sensor data
    with open(sensor_file, 'r') as f:
        data = f.read()
        temperature = float(data.split("t=")[1]) / 1000.0
        print("Temperature: {:.2f}C".format(temperature))
    time.sleep(1)  # Wait 1 second
```
Connections

1. Connect the Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters to the VCC pin of the DS18B20 temperature sensor.
2. Connect the other end of the wire to the 3.3V pin on the Raspberry Pi.
3. Connect the ground wire from the sensor to the ground pin on the Raspberry Pi.

Note: In both examples, the Hook up Wire (red) - 5 meters is used as a general-purpose connection wire. The specific connections and code may vary depending on the requirements of your project.
