RP6 ROBOT SYSTEM - 2. Installation of the Expansion Module
2. Installation of the Expansion Module
The way you can install the module on the robot depends on the other expansion
modules that you might have already mounted on the robot.
The mounting hardware shown in the picture as well as antenna and connection cable
should be included in the package:
As you can see in the picture, the an-
tenna mount with the gold-plated RP-
SMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) connector
is
already pre-installed.
Please check if this is the case when you
open the package. You should further-
more check if the antenna cable is passed
through the PCB like on the picture. If
this is not the case, you can correct it by
yourself.
The RP-SMA connector should be firmly
mounted on the antenna mount. If not,
you can fasten it carefully via 2x pliers or
1x pliers and a 8mm hexkey (one plier holds the lower nut and the other (or the
hexkey) turns the upper one).
Make sure not to slip off and damage the thread
or the antenna cable!
The positioning of the flat part doesn't matter as you can ro-
tate the antenna later at your convenience. The u.FL cable turns with the rotation
which strains the small plug on the other side. Thus fastening via the flat side has
been abandoned on purpose. This makes the mounting on other places easier (the
connector can be rotated in such a way that the small u.Fl connector on the PCB is
strained as little as possible).
