Assembly Instructions

Solder the pogopin's pins to the GROVE cable. The soldered pins are shown in the figure, from left to right: GND, SCL, SDA, NC, NC, NC, NC, 3V3. Before soldering, be sure to test the magnetic polarity of the pogopin with the MeshSlide

Please note that the color of the GROVE cable shown in the figure may not match the color of the Grove cable officially supplied with M5Stack CardKB. Please confirm carefully before soldering

Embed the pogopin into the 3D Printed Case C1. If the pogopin is loose when embedded, you can use super glue to secure it. Connect the GROVE cable to M5Stack CardKB, and install the CardKB into the 3D Printed Case L1

The bottom of the 3D Printed Case L1 reserves approximately 76mm x 46mm x 5mm of space and wiring channels, which can accommodate other sensors of compatible size
