 You are now ready to plug the 5V power supply to the motor bus of the leader arm (the smaller one) since all its motors only require 5V.
 
 Then plug the 12V power supply to the motor bus of the follower arm. It has two motors that need 12V, and the rest will be powered with 5V through the voltage convertor.

 Troubleshooting:
-- On Linux, if you encounter a hanging issue when using cameras, uninstall opencv and re-install it with conda:
-```bash
-pip uninstall opencv-python
-conda install -c conda-forge opencv=4.10.0

 - On Linux, if you encounter any issue during video encoding with `ffmpeg: unknown encoder libsvtav1`, you can:
   - install with conda-forge by running `conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg` (it should be compiled with `libsvtav1`),
   - or, install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) and run `brew install ffmpeg` (it should be compiled with `libsvtav1`),
