2. Bring the male end of the JST extension cable through the
hole from the back of the fabric to the front, then plug it into
your FLORA (see Figure 5-7 ).
3. Route the extension cable up to the pocket, in which you
should also cut a small hole.
4. You can now plug the battery pack in through the pocket of
the shorts!
5. Tack down the extension cable on the back of the embroi-
dery, using stitches or just a very few fibers on the fabric to
anchor it with plain thread. Stitch along the entire cable, and
you can optionally use this same thread to secure the holes
you cut at either end with a few whipstitches.
Figure 5-7. Install the battery
We recommend powering this project with standard AAA batter-
ies, using the Adafruit 3xAAA battery holder.
For a smaller battery option, try Adafruit's tiny LiPoly battery
and micro LiPoly USB charger. Be sure to read and heed all
safety warnings that accompany your lithium polymer batteries
and do not use them unless you are comfortable with power
supplies.
