2 Assembly Guide

SLIDEBY-MAG-ACC kits ordered from TI.com come pre-assembled, but in cases where the kit is printed locally, please follow steps 1-3 described below.

1. Print the Slider (Slider.STL).

   This piece carries the magnet and provides a grip to control the magnet motion in the track. Additionally, a centerline is visible to assist with locating the magnet center.

2. Glue the magnet into the bottom opening of the slider.

   Glue the magnet into the slider. The magnet should seat flush with the bottom of the slider.

3. Print the Slider Track (Track.STL).

   This is the central fixture of the assembly. The slider track clips to the EVM and provides a guided path for the magnet to pass over the sensor. The markings along the top of the track are spaced at 1mm intervals.

4. Attach the slider track to the magnetic sensing EVM.

   Slide the platform end of the EVM underneath the window in the track, and align the cut holes in the EVM above the circular clips in the track base. Apply some downward force to clip the EVM into the track base. The first insertion may require more effort, but subsequent insertions should snap easily. Once the base is attached to the EVM, insert the desired slider through the opening at either end of the track.

   Connect the EVM to the TI-SCB, and follow the relevant instructions to program the device provided in the device-specific EVM user's guide.
