Step 2c: Mounting LIDAR and Standoff for LIDAR arch stability

Ensure the metal top arch is oriented the correct way up and the Lidar is mounted facing the front. A common mistake is for the top arch to be flipped upside down, resulting in the LIDAR facing the back. Check the direction of the LIDAR by looking at the images below and noting the embossed arrow on top.

Three M2.5 Cap Screws and Nylock nuts are included with the LIDAR

Use the included RC-CAR wrench to hold the nuts

Double check that the lidar is facing the front as shown here.

Standoff for LIDAR arch stability

There is a black (or orange) 3d printed plastic standoff post which also protect the cable.

This file will also be provided in 3D Printed parts page

Zip tie the lidar cable and standoff as shown in this picture. The wire should wrap around the back of the standoff.

The wires should wrap around to the back of the standoff and ziptie here as well.

Do NOT attach the top plate to the B3RB, yet. This can only be done after completion of step 3: wiring.

The holes in the lidar standoff can be used to store some of the thumbscrews when not in use
