Instructions

Position Torso Assembly in a straight manner such that we can see its neck, as now we will be working on installing the head module.

Take part and align the 5 holes on it with the neck actuator shaft.

Take 5 of and lightly tighten them into the 5 holes on part

After the parts are aligned:

  • remove 5 of one at a time in a star formation,
  • apply threadlocker,
  • then tighten them back to secure Part and the actuator together.

Take (ID 25) and slot it through the arch of part . Make sure that the two ports are perfectly parallel to part .

Connect the free connector of the 200 mm double-ended XT30 (2+2) cable from neck yaw (ID 24) to the specified port on neck pitch (ID 25).

Take part and align the 2 holes with part .

Take 2 of , apply threadlocker to each of them and tighten them into the 2 holes on part to secure it to part

Take the head assembly from Head Compute Unit Setup and align part with the (ID 25) such that the 6 holes on the side of the part is aligned with the 6 holes on the actuator shaft. While doing this you can also routed all the wire that is exposed from the back of the head to route it through the port cutout on part .

Take 6 of and lightly tighten into the 6 holes on part to align it with the actuator.

After the parts are aligned:

  • remove 6 of one at a time in a star formation,
  • apply threadlocker,
  • then tighten them back to secure Part and the actuator together.

Check that the head cables connected in Head Compute Unit Setup are still seated: the USB-A to JST-ZHR4 cable (highlighted in yellow) between the camera module and the , the 100 mm USB-C to USB-A cable (highlighted in purple) between the and the , and the 200 mm JST-XH to JST-XH cable (highlighted in green) between the and the . The 1000 mm XT30-Male to XT30-Female power cable (highlighted in red) and the 300 mm single-ended JST-XH cable (highlighted in orange) from the stay unconnected at their free ends until Step 9.
