Section 5.1: XY Sensor Board, Accelerometer

Accelerometer after handmounting
onto the XY Sensor board
NOTE: Mounting of the accelerometer requires a fair amount of skill and the appropriate equipment. At a minimum, a very fine point soldering tip is required.

The accelerometer is mounted first. Be sure to align the accelerometer with the alignment dot on the bottom of the chip and the alignment dot silkscreened onto the board.

Watch out for shorts and make sure no solder is bridged to the top of the accelerometer. The top plate of the accelerometer is metallic.
