Assembly & Wiring Guide (Read Before Building)
Important: Basic soldering skills are required. Review all steps before beginning.
1. Battery & Switch Wiring
SAFETY FIRST: Cutting battery wires requires extreme care. Do NOT let the red (+) and black (–) wires touch after cutting to avoid a dangerous short circuit.
- Prepare Wires: Cut the connector off your battery. Strip ~3-4mm from the battery's red and black wires, and from the included JST-PH pigtail wires.
- Wire the Switch (Positive +): Solder the battery's red wire to one of the outer pins on the switch. Solder the pigtail's red wire to the center pin on the switch.
- Connect Ground (Negative –): Solder the battery's black wire directly to the pigtail's black wire.
- Insulate: Securely cover the soldered ground connection with heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape.
Do not connect the pigtail to the board until final assembly.
2. Final Assembly
- Install the power switch and LoRa SMA pigtail into the case cutouts.
- Mount your WisMesh Board ONE into the case and secure it with screws.
- Use double-sided tape to secure the battery to the inside of the back cover.
- Attach your external LoRa antenna to the SMA connector. This is required before powering on.
- Plug the wired JST pigtail into the board's battery port.
- Close the enclosure and secure it with the final case screws. Test the power switch.
