For those who prefer a text version, keep reading. + +Check what you've got +--------------------- + +Your flow3r badge should've come in a brown paper bag, in which you will find: + +1. The top and bottom PCBs connected together +2. A black plastic spacer +3. A round LCD display +4. A blue battery +5. A metal batery cover +6. Two speakers +7. A bag containg: 6 M3 screws, 6 plastic feet, an adhesive sheet, an allen (imbus) wrench, sandpaper +8. A lanyard +9. An instruction booklet + +Prepare the top PCB +------------------- + +Disconnect the top (pink, smaller) and bottom (white, larger) PCBs. Put the +bottom PCB aside for now. + +Take the screen, and remove its protective film if you want. Then, install the +screen onto the top PCB - first by connecting the flex cable of the screen to +the corresponding connector on the board, then by seating the screen into the +hole in the middle of the top PCB. + +If you want, you can use a ring of adhesive from the adhesive sheet to glue the +display to the top PCB, but this isn't required. + +Take the spacer and look at it closely. You'll see one side has little notches +into which the LEDs on the top PCB go. The other side has 'speakers' written on +it. Take the spacer, and try to mate it with the top PCB. It will only go in +correctly in one of the five possible orientations. Check the distance between +the five metal standoffs on the top PCB and the spacer - it should be even and +everything should align correctly. + +Take the two speakers, and for each of them take the white adhesive protector +off and glue them in the two spacer labeled as 'speakers'. They should stick +onto the PCB, with the cables facing eachother in the middle of the badge. + +One the speakers are glued in, take off the spacer and route the speaker wires +to the two connectors on the PCB. The cables should go around the display. Put +the spacer back on top and make sure it mates correctly with the top PCB, and +that it doesn't catch the speaker wires. + +Prepare the bottom PCB +---------------------- + +Put the top PCB aside and take the bottom PCB. It has two sides: the one with +components is the side that will mate with the top PCB, 'though' the spacer. + +Take the battery and connect it to the battery connector on the bototm PCB. +Route the cable through the notch on the PCB to the back of the board, where the +battery will live. + +Take a round piece of adhesive from the adhesive sheet and use it to glue the +battery to the back. Use the metal battery cover to make sure the battery is in +the right spot of the back of the PCB. + +Mating the PCBs +--------------- + +Now it's time to try to assemble the two PCBs together with the spacer. This can +be a bit tricky, and here are some general tips we've found useful in doing +this: + +1. Look through the holes on the back PCB, making sure you see the threads of + the standoffs of the top PCB. +2. Pay extra attention to the speaker and battery cables. Especially the + battery cable! It has a little channel to route through in the spacer, make + sure it doesn't get caught in between the spacer and the bottom PCB. +3. Ensure the two board-to-board connectors are aligned. You can stare through + the side of the PCB sandwich to check if things look okay. + +Take five screws and the allen key and screw the two PCBs together, alongside +with the metal battery case on the bottom. Be *very* gentle with the torque - +overtorqueing the screws can rip off the standoffs on the top PCB! + +Of course, if you're not using the badge with a battery, feel free to skip the +battery cover. + +If you need help with routing the battery cable, you can try use the little +piece of sandpaper we included in the small bag. + +Finishing Touches +----------------- + +Thread the lanyard end bits through the top two holes in the bottom PCB +(closest to the USB port, near the edge of the boar). + +Take the little rubber feet from the small bag and glue them to the bottom PCB +on the petals that do not have a screw head in them. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/index.rst b/docs/index.rst index d7feeb3c9439c4b3cbfcb4ed61a3ed6fdebd549c..50a8b92022fe667e4a87e763c3ea743be348d078 100644 --- a/docs/index.rst +++ b/docs/index.rst @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ Welcome to flow3r's documentation! :caption: The badge: badge/hardware_specs.rst + badge/assembly.rst badge/usage.rst badge/programming.rst badge/firmware.rst
