Steps
1. Prep the Mounting Headers
Start by soldering the male headers
to your Nugget PCB, button side up!
- The short side of the pin headers should poke through
- Using a breadboard can help keep them in place! If not you can rest it carefully flush on the table.
2. Solder the Expansion Header
Next, solder on the long female header
to the side of your Nugget PCB. You should be able to lay the Nugget flush on a table.
3. Assemble the Microcontroller
Assemble the microcontroller, by soldering the short female pin headers
to the inside rows of the S2 Mini.
- You can flip the microcontroller over on a flat surface to solder the pins.
- Be careful not to get solder in the other holes!
Next, press the S2 Mini
onto the headers on the back of your Nugget - and solder!
4. Prep & Solder the Screen
Next, peel off the adhesive tape on your Nugget PCB, and carefully push the screen
in place.
- Be careful to avoid the edges of the screen! It can crack.
5. Assemble the Case
Finally, assemble the snap fit case!
- Press the assembled Nugget into the
backplate
- Next, place the
