ENG-CANSAT-V2-ASSEMBLY

Abstract

The original version of the CANSAT kit required many soldering operation. It's intimidating for newcomers with little experience with a soldering iron.

With the CANSAT V2 kit, things have been made easier than ever, no solder required!

Assembling the Cansat

Let's prepare the main CANSAT board.

	Take the base board and orient the board to see the USB label on the left and the "Pico/MCU facing this side" in front of you.
	Grab the CPU board with the microcontroler facing front.
	Now, insert the MCU board onto the 2x20 pin connector.
	Even when not required yet, user can pick the Lipo battery then plug it into the 2 poles JST connector (facing the microcontroler).
	Antenna must be connected before any communication attempt! To do so, connect the µFl coaxial wire on the board then connect the demo antenna to the other side.

Assembling the base station

The base station also gets improvements. No more soldering this side too.

Within the CANSAT-KIT the Rapsberry-Pico is ready to use and can be plugged onto an PICO Radio board.

Connects the demonstration Antenna and you are ready to test.
