The mount for the camera must be removed for MR-B3RB-M use, It is kept only when using the MR-B3RB-S KEEP the nut and screw that is in this original camera mount!
UPDATING: Production units will include a mount with the backside cut out. This allows the flex cable to not be captive and the mount and camera can be easily separated.
Unless you REALLY want to keep the Camera mount, the easiest and quickest way to remove the mount is to use some side cutters and break the plastic base. Be careful and wear safety glasses as this plastic may be brittle and fly up. Alternatively you could cut this with a hacksaw or rotary tool. Be careful of any dust. While doing either method, be very careful not to damage the camera flex cable
First, unscrew and remove the screws located at the corners of the board.
Then take out the white case, you should have something that look like this:
Then use the smallest hex key from the provided set to unscrew the screws on the corners of the blue case. This should allow you to detach the white case from the bottom. Note you don't have to remove the screws completely, just enough to detach them from the back plate.
The camera's flat ribbon cables is connected to a vertical connector situated in centre-right of the board.
To properly detach the camera, first, open the clip at the backside of the connector to release the ribbon cable. Once freed, you can remove it from the camera mount. To reconnect, carefully insert the flat ribbon cable back into the connector on the NavQPlus board. Ensure a secure connection.
Reassemble the board into the white casing using the previously removed screws. Note you should screw in the heatsink screws first while simultaneously pressing to ensure the case is fully closed. Then in a second step install the outer four screws.
Next, use the provided M3 screws to securely attach the board's corners to the following position in the metal frame:
Screw them in from the bottom side. It should look like this:
The following images illustrate the method for securing the cables to the metal frame using zip ties. This ensures a neat and organized setup.
After successfully attaching the NavQPlus, the next step is to install the MR-CANHUBK344 evaluation board.
UPDATING: Production units will include DUAL LOCK type mounting eliminating the need for the procedure below and screw fastening. This will also elevate the NAVQPLUS boards slightly so that Ethernet and USB will have better clearance. We strongly recommend you just use some DUAL LOCK Velcro instead of screwing the NavQPlus to the metal frame.
