Step 2

Building North Paw V1.0
Step 2: Enclosures

Back to step 1: ElectronicsForward to step 3: Display

During this step we’re going to put the electronics into the enclosure, and prepare the enclosures for mounting on the armature with velcro. You’ll need:

  • Finished North Paw V1.0 PCB
  • PacTec JM22 enclosure
  • Battery Case
  • Two pieces of black sticky-back velcro (skinny and fat)

Open up the enclosure bag. You won’t need the end panels, but do keep the two screws. Place the PCB into the enclosure (the mounts are not symmetrical, so it only fits properly one way)
Close the enclosure with a small phillips screw driver.
Peel the white backing off the smaller of the velcro pieces, and stick it to the non-opening side of the battery enclosure. This is the side with the (useless) “on/off” labeled hole (as pictured).
Peel the white backing off the other piece of velcro, and stick it to the non-screw side of the JM22 electronics enclosure. This ensures that if you ever need to open the enclosure up again, you won’t have to ruin your velcro. Orient the bare-edged strips of the velcro to run along the closed-face edges of the enclosure.
Congratulations, your enclosures are ready for use.
