Step 2a: Mounting NavQPlus
Remove camera mount for use with MR-B3RB
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.
A) Easy but violent way of removing the Camera mount
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
B) Harder, more delicate method of removing the Camera mount
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.
NavQPlus Case Reassembly
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.
Mounting the NavQPlus on the metal frame
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.
