Step 12: Mount the Control Board Assembly onto the Chassis
In this step, you will enclose the Control Board within its protective Top Plate, and then mount the Control Board Assembly onto the completed
ELEV-8 quadcopter chassis.
1.
Gather the items listed in the diagram on the next page.
2.
Find the arrow on the Control Board silkscreen, as shown in the picture. This
arrow points to the front of the Control Board, which must be facing the
same direction as the front of the ELEV-8 chassis.
3.
Set the Control Board Assembly over the standoffs in the Top Chassis Plate.
Make sure the front of the Control Board is aligned with the front of the
Chassis.
4.
Align the Control Board Top Plate over the Control Board. The small hole
near the center of the Control Board Top Plate is for a light pipe. Make sure
this hole is directly above the LED on the Control Board. This will make light
from the LED visible when the Top Plate is in place.
5.
Thread each 1” Panhead Screw (item 2) through a corner hole in the Control
Board Top Plate (item 3), then through a 1/2” Nylon Spacer (item 4),
through a corner hole in the Control Board Assembly (item 5), and finally
into a standoff on top of the Chassis (item 6). Gently tighten.
6.
Insert the Light Pipe (item 1) into its hole in the Control Board Top Plate
(item 3), until it touches the LED underneath. Trim the Light Pipe to length.
7.
Slip your battery between the Control Board Mount Plate and the Chassis
Top Plate, and secure it in place with the Nylon Straps.
8.
Mount your Receiver to the chassis with zip-ties, referring to its
documentation for best placement recommendations.
