Steps
Seat the standoffs
Peel the protective film off both sides of the back acrylic panel. Thread all four 6mm standoffs into its corner holes, finger‑tight, using the 4 provided nuts. From here on, threading diagonally opposite standoffs first makes everything go together smoothly.
Lower the board
Align the four board holes over the standoffs, USB‑C connector facing down. Secure with 4 of the 8 included 11mm standoffs.
Plug in the LCD
Remove the pin protector from the LCD's header first — keep it, it doubles as a stand for the finished device. Press the header straight down into socket J2. Pins can bend — go gently, wiggling side to side slightly if required. Peel the thin protective film off the screen.
Add the remaining standoffs
Thread the remaining 4 of the 8 included 11mm standoffs into the standoff holes now showing above the board.
Add the front panel
Peel the protective film off both sides of the front acrylic panel. Lower it over the standoffs. Secure with the 4 included bolts.
Power it on
Connect USB‑C to a 5V source. The power LED lights red; the screen wakes a few seconds later.
