Secure DC Jack Mount
Use the following hardware to secure the DC Jack Mount to the Bottom Panel.
- 2x M3 x 8mm long machine screws
- 2x M3 hex nuts
Insert the DC Jack into the mount. Then, place the mount over the Bottom Plate with the mounting holes lined up. The DC Jack should be facing the edge of the plate.
Secure the mount to the panel using the M3 hardware.
Secure Slip Ring
Place the Slip Ring over the Slip Ring Mount with the three mounting holes lined up.
Use three M5 x 6mm long machine screws to secure the Slip Ring to the mount.
Secure FeatherWing Doubler
Place the FeatherWing Doubler over the four built-in standoffs on the Bottom Plate so the mounting holes line up.
Use four M2.5 x 6mm long machine screws to secure the PCB to the plate.
Install Feather RP2040 to FeatherWing Doubler
Insert the Feather RP2040 onto the corresponding headers on the FeatherWing Doubler.
Connect Motor Wing
Insert and secure the two wires from the TT motor into the M1 input screw terminal blocks.
Insert and secure the two wires from the DC Jack into the 5-12VDC input screw terminal block with white wire in negative and Red wire to Positive.
Secure Bearing to Top Plate
Place the bearing assembly over the Top Plate with the four raised mounting holes and line up the available mounting holes.
Use four M3 x 14mm long machine screws and hex nuts to secure the bearing to the Top Plate.
Secure Top Panel
Begin installing the top plate onto the 3D printed standoffs.
Insert the two 4-pin cables from the Slip Ring through the center bore of the assembled bearing.
Line up the four mounting holes on the corners of top plate with the four standoffs
Use four M3 x 6mm long machine screws to secure the top plate to the standoffs.
Install LED Arms to Bearing
Begin installing the DotStar LED assemblies to the BB Outer Bezel part.
Use two M3 x 10mm long nylon screws and hex nuts to secure an LED strip assembly to one of the mounting tabs on the BB Outer Bezel part.
Secure the second LED strip assembly to the other mounting tab.
Installed LEDs
Ensure the LED assemblies are tightly secured to the BB Outer Bezel parts mount tabs.
Connect LEDs to Slip Ring
Plug the 4-pin cables from the LED strips to the matching cables on the Slip Ring.
Install Motor Gear
Orient the 3D printed motor gear with the shaft of the TT Motor so the inner hub matches the shaft.
Firmly press the motor gear into the shaft of the TT motor. The bearing may need to be rotated to allow the two gears to mesh together.
Power Motorized LED Display
Provide the Feather RP2040 with 5V 1A power using a USB-C cable.
Connect the 12V 5A power supply to the DC Jack. Set the power supply to not more than 6V to prevent the TT motor from burning out.
