Locate the

Arduino Mega

from your electronics kit.

This is easily identified by its blue colour board.

Using

3 M3 X 10 screws

, attach the Arduino to the

electronics backplate.

Take care to ensure that the Arduino is not bent or

mis-aligned.

The board does not need to be absolutely tight,

just secure.
