LCD Assembly Guide
This is the assembly guide for the Robot Geek I2C LCD Module mounting kit.
Pre Step: Peel Your Plastic
|
Some of your plastic pieces will have paper masking on one or both sides. Peel the masking paper off before getting started.
There also may be some dust on your parts. This is from the laser cutting manufacturing process. It is harmless and can be cleaned up by wiping with a rag or being washed with water. Each plastic piece will have 2 sides - a matte side and a glossy side. When you're assembling your kit, the matte side should point up while the glossy side should point down. |
