+# Development Setup
+The development setup is using a LattePanda 3. It is an Intel
+based board with an Arduino Leonardo built on board.
+
+This should be similar to using other Arduino devices plugged
+into USB ports.
+
+
+# Pins
+Pins on the MP-101 cable.
+Starting at "7PM", just after the key, going clockwise:
+
+```
+Use	Color	Pin	ArduinoPin
+---	-----	---	--------
+Speed	Yellow	1	? PWM
+Left	White	2	D0
+Down	Brown	3	D1
+5V	Green	4	5V, second from left.
+Up	Blue	5	D2
+Right	Black	6	D3
+GND	Red	7	GND under ICSP
+```
+
+The "ArduinoPin" column is how the Arduino pins on the Panda are labelled.
+
+
+# Wire Harness
+I made a quick and dirty wire harness that works.
+My MP101 kit came with two extension cables.
+I used one of those to use the male headed to plug
+into the MP101, and the newly cut wires to connect
+to pins to plug into the Panda Arduino.
+I had short jumper wires with pin headers on each end.
+For the Panda male/male wire with headers is needed.
+If the board being used has pins not headers, a male/female
+wire jumper will be needed.
+In lieu of connecting the pins to the wires via soldering,
+WAGO crimpers were used. They work great and easy++.
+
+
+# Status
+Early alpha. It moves in four directions, but doesn't stop or
+have regular controls yet. Just mapped out the pins to
+Arduino software.
