Staging Plate
Install hardware into 3D printed components
- Use an arbor press to insert the given quantities of
M3-hex-nut
into the following parts: - 4x for
bottom-camera-mount
-
3x for 3x
peek-cable-clamp
Note
Be sure to change the arbor press tip for the different prints as needed.
Removing punch-out from PCB-0003
-
Remove the punch-out from center of
PCB-0003
with flush cutters -
Clean up hole with a razor blade after punch-out has been removed
-
Clean both sides of
PCB-0003
with an IPA-soaked shop rag
Focus the bottom-camera
-
Use
bottom-camera-focus-jig
to pre-focusbottom-camera
-
Loosen the set screw on the side of the lens, this will let the lens focal-point be adjusted
-
Be careful not to loosen it too much or the screw may fall out and get lost!
-
Remove the lens cap from
bottom-camera
- Rotate the camera lens back and forth to loosen any glue
- Hold the PCB in one hand while twisting the lens body with your other hand
-
Don't be afraid to use a few pounds of force if needed
-
Install the
bottom-camera
fully into thebottom-camera-focus-jig
- Put the JST-side of
bottom-camera
into the jig first -
Connect the JST-side of the USB cable into the bottom-camera PCB
-
Connect the USB cable on
bottom-camera-focus-jig
to a computer and open its native camera viewing application - Use Photobooth if on Mac OSX or Cheese if on Linux
- Confirm that the camera feed is running in 720p, sometimes it can launch in 360p or 480p
- Within the camera viewing application, change the selected camera to
PnP Bottom
to view the camera feed of the bottom-camera
If the listed camera is something other than PnP Bottom
, the device may either be incorrectly programmed or mixed up with a top-camera
Please take this as an opportunity to double-check the device name even if the computer switched to the correct camera feed automatically.
- Rotate the camera lens until the live viewport shows the datum board as focused as possible
-
Before and after lens focusing:
-
Once the camera is focused, tighten the set screw to lock in the focus adjustment
-
Put a blue dot on the camera PCB with a sharpie to denote that the camera has passed testing
-
Remove the
bottom-camera
from thebottom-camera-focus-jig
and immediately replace the lens cap -
Return the
bottom-camera
to the red esd-safe bag
Creating bottom-camera-assembly
-
Attach
bottom-camera
andbottom-camera-cover
tobottom-camera-mount
with 4xM2.5x8-bolt
-
Confirm
bottom-camera
's JST connector is next to the zip-tie cable strain relief feature, as indicated below: -
Clean
bottom-light-mount
print by removing any loose stringy plastic with a heat gun and/or razer blade (as needed) -
Install
bottom-ring-light
intobottom-light-mount
Final Assembly
Installing bottom-camera-assembly
-
Attach
bottom-camera-assembly
ontostaging-plate
with 4xM3x16-bolt
-
The JST cable connector found on
bottom-ring-light
should match the orientation shown below when installed - as close to the Opulo logo as possible and in line withstaging-plate
column 18 -
The JST cable connector found on
bottom-camera
should match the orientation shown below when installed - as close to the Opulo logo as possible -
Plug

intobottom-ring-light
-
Plug
bottom-camera-harness
intobottom-camera
before securing cable tobottom-camera-mount
with azip-tie
Install datum-board and datum-board-mount
- Use four
M3x16mm-bolt
and 4xM3-hex-nut
to secure thedatum-board
anddatum-board-mount
tostaging-plate
on the rear of thebottom-camera
, through holes: B18, A19, A21, B22. - Use a 2.5mm hex wrench and a 5.5mm (6mm if 5.5mm is unavailable) socket wrench to tighten these bolts
-
The fisheye calibration pattern should be facing down, and the gold grid lines and fiducial in the center of the Opulo logo facing upwards
Performing cable management
-
Clamp cables in the locations shown below with 3x
peek-cable-clamp
, 3xm3-hex-nut
, and 3xm3x14
bolts -
After securing the cables, tie them up with a
rubber-band
QC Checklist
- Run the
staging-plate
assembly through the QC inspection form found here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1HXndxFzhRyJsBtHUMHoJEiU_ig9z8cUJpGCH4vcM8OR5mQ/viewform
Note
- The QC inspection form will ask you if the
bottom-camera
was correctly focused with the orange version of thebottom-camera-focus-jig
-
Use this jig in the same way the blue one is operated, while leaving the camera installed on the
staging-plate
- If the camera is out of focus, remove it from the assembly and repeat bottom-camera focusing.
Next Steps
After completing QC, perform the following steps
-
Add a
QC PASS
sticker tobottom-camera-cover
-
Bring the completed
primary-staging-plate
to the shelf for peer-review and pack-out
