Human-designed RGB LED Lighting System for Shrimp Aquarium. The existing connection between the RGB LED lighting system and the four jumper cables needs to be replaced with a more durable setup, utilizing a 4-position dip switch soldered directly onto a PCB plate. To achieve this, the first step is to carefully disconnect the four jumper cables from the RGB LED lighting system. This will allow for a thorough inspection of the existing wiring and a clear path for reconnection using the new 4-position dip switch setup. The next step involves preparing the PCB plate by cleaning it thoroughly with a soft brush and mild soap solution, followed by a dry wipe to remove any excess moisture. This ensures a secure bond between the dip switch and the PCB. Once the PCB plate is ready, the four jumper cables are then carefully stripped of their insulation, leaving only the conductive wires exposed. These wires will be connected to the corresponding pins on the 4-position dip switch. With all components prepared, the next step is to solder the dip switch onto the PCB plate, taking care to ensure a secure and even connection between each wire and its corresponding pin. This requires a steady hand and attention to detail to avoid any potential short circuits or electrical malfunctions. Finally, once the dip switch has been successfully soldered onto the PCB plate, the four jumper cables are then reconnected, this time securely attached to the new dip switch setup. A thorough inspection is performed to ensure that all connections are secure and functioning properly. With these steps completed, the shrimp aquarium RGB LED lighting system now features a more reliable and long-lasting connection between the lights and the control system, ensuring optimal performance and minimal maintenance requirements.
