Finally, we wire the hive!

Once the mic boards were sealed, the next challenge was creating efficient wiring assemblies. Each mic connector on the main PCB could handle up to two microphones, so to minimize clutter, I spliced two wire lengths together, creating custom assemblies that tied the mic boards to the main PCB. Paired with my 3D-printed mic holders, this allowed me to position the mics anywhere within the hive for optimal sound capture.
