Assembly

The following steps assume you have basic soldering skills.

Step 1 – Resistor

xv_lidar_controller_assembly_aesistorStart with the resistor.  It is non-directional so insert it in the holes marked R1.

Step 2 – Diode

xv_lidar_controller_assembly_diodeNext insert the diode matching the stripe to the image.

Step 3 – Motor Plug

xv_lidar_controller_assembly_motorInsert the 2 pin JST connector to the Motor label with the opening matching the notch in the image (facing inward).

Step 4 – Serial Plug

xv_lidar_controller_assembly_serialInsert the 4 pin JST connector to the Serial label with the opening matching the notch in the image (facing inward).

Step 5 – Female Headers

xv_lidar_controller_assembly_female_headersAttach the female headers to the inside row and solder.  This is where the Teensy will mount.  Using the female headers allows the easy removal and or replacement of the Teensy.  Alternatively you could permanently mount the Teensy to the board with the male headers.

Step 6 – Mosfet

xv_lidar_controller_assembly_mosfetWhen looking at the front of this particular Mosfet the Gate pin is the first pin on the left.  The PCB is labeled with GDS.  The Mosfet should be facing outward.
