πŸ— Assembly

1. πŸ”§ Print or build the segments and holders according to segment.slt or segment.pdf paint them if necessary

2. πŸ”© Assemble the segments and holders according to Segment assembly part list.pdf

3. πŸͺš Cut 5 baseboard according to baseboard.pdf.

Use a CNC machine or laser cutter to make life easier

4. πŸ–ŒοΈ Paint the base board in the colors of your choice

5. Apply the vinyl on the exposed side of all 35 segments

6.πŸ”© Bolt the complete segments to the base board

Take time to pass the wires before bolting

7. πŸͺ› Screw the PCA9685 to the back of the baseboard

If you want to reuse our code be sure to report to AdiClock part list.pdf.

8. πŸ”Œ Plug all servos to theirs respective driver.

To see were the servos are connected use the picture below Servo mumbering

Apply this principle to the first and last too modules. Wire the middle one last and use the same numbering scheme from 1 to 7
