Page 14: Figure 5: Correct Positioning Of An Ic With Notch
Figure 5: Correct positioning of an IC with notch Some Chips have no notch, they have a point. Picture 6 shows the correct positioning. Figure 6: Correct positioning of an IC with point www.pixtend.de 14 / 24 Copyright by Qube Solutions UG (limited liability) -

PiXtend- stainless steal housing is getting mounted). After the adjusting the rest of the pins can be soldered. The result after the soldering is showing figure 7. Figure 7: Battery mounted www.pixtend.de 15 / 24 Copyright by Qube Solutions UG (limited liability) -
Page 16: Spacers And Screw Joints
Hold the Raspberry Pi over the board before the montage, so it is easier to see which drills are the right ones. The order here is the same as with the M3- spacers: M2.5x5 mm – circuit board – M2.5x25 mm spacers www.pixtend.de 16 / 24 Copyright by Qube Solutions UG (limited liability) -
Page 17: Rotation Axes
