Step 1: Connect the Raspberry Pi

• Take the Pi stand you printed earlier and push the Raspberry Pi into place so the connectors show through the holes.
• Secure the Raspberry Pi in place with two self tapping screws
• Insert the ribbon cable from the optics module into the camera port of the Rasberry Pi, ensuring the contacts are on the opposite side from the clasp.

Step 2: Connect the Sangaboard

• Mount the Sangaboard onto the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins, ensuring that the ribbon cable goes through the slot.
• Secure the Sangaboard in place with two self tapping screws
• Push the motor cables into their labelled connectors. Make sure the motor from the correct axis on the microscope goes to the correct port.

TODO - connecting up the LED to the Sangaboard v0.4

Step 3: Mount the electronics drawer

• Place an M3 nut into the slot just inside the hole in the front of the microscope base.
• Place another M3 nut into the slot above the Sangaboard power connector on the Pi stand.
• Slide the Pi stand into the microscope base making sure not to pinch any wires.
• Hold the Pi stand in place with two M3x10 cap head screws which should screw into the two nuts.

To power up your microscope you will need a power supply.
