Hi! This is likely a very stupid question.
I am trying to assemble the battery pack that comes with the starter kit. In the "tutorial," it shows two tabs—one for each wire.
My barrel, however, only has the larger tab for the black wire. Has the barrel design been updated since the tutorial was written? Where should I solder the red wire?

Re: Battery Pack Barrel
Styles vary somewhat depending on the supplier. I've seen some with a center tube cut at a bevel. If that is what you have, solder the red wire there. If not, post a photo of what you have and we'll figure it out!

Re: Battery Pack Barrel
Thanks for your reply! The "center tube" style sounds like what I have. I took a picture for anyone else with the same question. I'll go ahead and solder the wire in to the tube.Styles vary somewhat depending on the supplier. I've seen some with a center tube cut at a bevel. If that is what you have, solder the red wire there.
