Moving automaton head electronics from test-bed to in situ base

On the bench. Trying to transfer the patched electronics from the nice easy patch-cable connections of the test bed to the real, hard-wired circuit in the final location of the base of the automaton head.

Testing practical implementation of circuit diagram for automaton head
The arduino screwed down in place, in final location inside base.

Connecting up all the wires that need to be at the positive (+5V) voltage, by threading through a circuit board, to be soldered together.
Connecting common +5v wires
Final +5V "rail" with all +5v connections soldered together

Connecting up all the wires that need to be at earth (ground), by threading through a circuit board, to be soldered together.
