Remove Tape Cover

The Time of Flight breakout has a protective sticker over the sensor that will need to be removed.

Matrix Power Cable

Measure and shorten the included power cable to fit behind the Matrix Display.

Assemble Matrix FeatherWing

Connect power cables to the Matrix Wing: red wire to the + terminal and black wire to the - terminal on the Matrix Wing.

The Matrix Wing is set up with headers for plugging onto the bottom of the RP2040 PropMaker Feather.

The two then plug into the HUB75 socket on the back of the RGB LED Matrix.

Matrix Cutout

Cut a frame out of the foam to fit the Matrix display.

You can use the Template below to print out and trace.

Hot wire foam cutter is used to create the opening for the matrix display.

A piece of black acrylic is placed first to help diffuse the matrix display.

LEDs eyes

Two NeoPixel buttons are wired together for adding a glowing effect to the demon atop the tombstone.

Measure and cut extension cables to reach the LEDs and speaker.

Use socket and plug ends to help easily disconnect components.

LED eye holes

The eyes are then carved out for LEDs to shine through.

Component cutouts

A speaker is fitted into another recess with a press fit cover to keep it in place.

Sensor cutout and covers

Similarly, the time of flight breakout has an opening for the sensor with an accompanying cover.

Servo horn

A piece of foam-core is secured to a servo horn that fits into the head of the 3D printed Raven.

Use foam core to build the servo horn. Trace the Raven neck and cut in half. Attach the foam cutout to the included servo horn.

Raven Assemble

Trace a piece of black foam core around the neck and attach to the bird's neck. Make cut outs for the LEDs and servo.

Route the LED and servo wires through the body.

Attach Raven head

Press fit the head to the foam cutout.

Route wires to the back of the bird.

Cable Conduits 

Bundle the LED and servo wires together with split loom tubing conduit.

Terminal connections

Connect the speaker and LEDs to the Prop-Maker Feather terminals. 

The Time of Flight Sensor connects to the Feather's on-board stemma QT port.

Everything gets powered by a 5V 4A switching power supply so it can run all night.
