Before you begin assembly

Info

You can expect the assembly to take approximately 20-30 minutes.

Step 1: Necessary tools #

You will need the following tools to assemble your Pioreactor:

1. Your own Raspberry Pi (RPi). Displayed are three examples.
2. A Philip's head screwdriver

Step 2: Use labels for reference #

• Most of the labels are scaled 1:1 and can be used to identify the part
• Missing a part? Email us at hello@pioreactor.com, we're happy to help.

Step 3: Electronics protection #

Here are some tips to prevent damage to the electronics:

• Keep the electronics inside the ESD bag right until you are asked to install them.
• Always touch the sides of the board while manipulating with it. Avoid touching the chips, capacitors and other parts of the electronics.
• Before you touch the electronics use any conductive (steel) structure nearby to neutralize any electro-static energy.
• Be extra cautious in rooms with carpets, which are a source of electrostatic energy.
• Clothes made of wool and certain synthetic fabrics can easily gather static electricity. It is safer to wear cotton clothing.
