Assembly Videos

(Draft)

This video is NO LONGER ACCURATE! This was recorded for the pre-production until of MR-B3RB and were prepared quickly in order to aid in assembly. While the video is ok for an overview, Please refer to the individual assembly step pages for updates to specific details

The basic mechanical assembly of the MR-B3RB preproduction version is shown in the following videos.

.

Note: Some items were not able to be shown at the time of recording the video below:

1) QUADRATURE CABLE: Not shown is a specially marked quadrature encoder cable that goes between the PDB board and the MR-CANHUBK344. It is included and marked in the kit. For conveniencep lease connect to the PDB while the top plate is not screwed down.

2) GPS MODULE: The GPS module plugs into MR-CANHUBK344 "CAN-ADAP" board the connector is marked GPS. It is used for magnetometer and arming functions at this time.

3) BATTERY BEEPER: A low battery beeper is included and should be attached to any LiPo battery that is being used in order to avoid over-discharging the battery. This is IMPORTANT as it could damage the battery to a point where recharging adds additional risk of thermal runaway. Treat any LiPo batteries with care.

3b) POWER MODULE: NOT included. The software has been developed to support the use of an INA226 current monitoring device, however this module is NOT currently included in the kit. We are looking toward adding to the production version of the PDB. An external digital Pixhawk power module may also be used (P/N PM02D).

Please use provided zip ties to hold cables in place. This includes the LED lighting running along the side of the lower metal and at any location where cables wrap around the side of the top plate.

RGB LED Lighting installation

When assembling the LED strip assembly, some finesse is required to ensure the two mounting screws and nut are tightened "optimally", otherwise the assembly may not be level or may warp. Watch the gap along the side where the front plastic meets the side plates.
