Sensor Tank Frame
Screw the standoffs to the underside of the frame as shown here using M2.5 x 12mm screws.
Wiring Harness
Use a 12" length of four-position ribbon cable and a female header to create a cable connector for the ultrasonic sensor. The other end will be screwed into the terminal block.
You can use some markers to color code them, and heat shrink tubing to neaten it up.
Screws & Feet
Screw the wires into the terminal blocks as shown to connect:
- Sensor VCC pin to Feather A2 (we'll use as switchable power source)
- Sensor GND pin to Feather GND
- Sensor TRIG pin to Feather A0
- Sensor ECHO pin to Feather A1
Push the feet up through the case base holes. (Seen here on a ferrous base plate.)
Feed the cable through the side slot, then place the Terminal Block FeatherWing onto the screws as shown.
Standoffs
Thread the stacked standoffs onto the feet screws to secure the Feather in place and to provide fasteners for the case top.
Battery
Feed the battery cable through the case top.
Then, plug the battery into the Feather's JST connector.
Slide the battery ever so satisfyingly into the battery holder.
The rig is ready for deployment!
Now you're ready to install and use the meter.
