Only 4 of those 12 pins are currently connected to the Arduino (see pin mapping). The rest is for future use: new tool heads, or tools you design yourself :slight_smile:

At the bottom of that picture (which is the right-hand side of the Arduino when it’s mounted on your FarmBot), you can see a red block with:

AC
BD

Connect the first 4 UTM cables to those, the rest is not used yet (but feel free to plug them into the remaining ports).
