## Setup your ESCAPE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now that we know what each part of the board is for, it's time to solder all the connections - it doesn't matter what order you attach the connections to your board, but we've found that the order below is the simplest.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Assemble the parts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**IMPORTANT** - if you have an expansion board that you want to add to your 640 board, then you should add that first as it will be a lot easier than adding it after soldering connectors to the board.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As we don't know what headers and connectors you selected when you ordered your ESCAPE board - we're going to show you how to connect the most common selection - other connectors and headers should attach in the same way.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
### Attach the 2 pin Power jumper
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The small 2 pin jumper is the first part to put in place. It goes in the two holes labelled **POWER**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Place it in the holes but don't solder it in place yet.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Attach the 7 pin motor header and 6 pin servo header
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The next parts to slot into place are the 7 x 3 connector for the CPPM and motors and the 6 x 3 connector for the servos. The holes for these parts are aligned so that the connectors should fit tightly and be held in place.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Slot them in place, and then using a piece of paper or card to hold the connectors in place, turn the board over.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Slide the paper away and use a piece of plasticine or clay to keep the board level on your desk if needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Solder all the pins in place - if you solder a single pin on each connector initially, then you can check if they are level and aligned correctly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If they aren't then apply the soldering iron tip to the soldered pin and move the connector until it is level.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Attach the power terminal
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now we need to add the power connector - slot it in place making sure that you have it the right way around (for the screw terminals the holes should be at the front of the board).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use a piece of paper or card to hold the connector in place and turn the board upside down. Slide the paper out from under the board and use a piece of plasticine to prop the board up level.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make sure everything is lined up correctly - use extra plasticine to align connectors if needed. Once you are happy, solder each of the pins.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Attach the header
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this example we'll show you how to connect a stackable header, as it's the most complex.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Due to the length of the stackable headers pins, it can sometimes be a hassle to get them through the holes on the board.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We've found that if you slide up the spacer on the stackable header so that it is near the top, you can get the pins into the boards header holes a lot easier and then slide the spacer back down again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you have your header in place, use some plasticine to make sure the board is level and then solder away. You should solder a single pin first, then make sure the header is level - if it isn't then apply the soldering iron to the pin again and move the header until it is correct.

Now that your board is set up, it's time to configure your Raspberry Pi so that you can use it.
