docs(parts): fill the gaps a build order exposed - #251
Conversation

Added one more row to the Optional Enclosure Inclinometer table: a Mouser-stocked Qwiic-to-Dupont cable, so the whole optional inclinometer can be ordered from the shared Mouser project instead of splitting the order with Amazon.
This is the female-socket counterpart of Adafruit 4209 (the male-header version). Female is the correct end here: the Pi GPIO header is male pins, so the sockets push straight on. On "shortest": 150 mm is the only length Adafruit produces in this JST-SH-to-female-socket configuration. The shorter 50 mm and 100 mm Qwiic cables are Qwiic-to-Qwiic and have no Dupont end at all, so there is nothing shorter to pick. The Amazon multi-cable kit stays listed and still carries the "used in the validated build" note — this row is the single-cable alternative, not a replacement, so the $16 optional-inclinometer cost line is unchanged. Verification caveat, same as the SC1148 row: Mouser serves a bot wall to scripted requests, so the 4397 product page was confirmed to exist and be indexed under that URL but its stock and price were not machine-read. Worth one human click before merge. |

Named the jumper wires. Three rows previously said
Why female/female for the trigger wiring: the Pi GPIO header, the OPS243 J3 header, and headers soldered onto the SEN-14262 are all male pins, so both ends have to be female. The IWR6843 Why female/male as well: these are pin extensions — the female end goes onto a Pi GPIO pin and the male end re-presents that pin for a second connector. That is what keeps the 5V rail reachable for the OPS243 when the Touch Display 2 is also wired to the header, instead of one connector covering the whole rail. On "shortest": 75 mm is the floor in both genders. Adafruit's jumper line starts at 75 mm (the longer options are 150 mm and 300 mm), and no other brand Mouser stocks goes below it — SparkFun's shortest premium jumpers are 4″/100 mm, and Pololu, who do make 1″ and 2″, is not a Mouser line. Cost summary
+$2 for the F/M ribbon, carried through subtotal and total. The F/F wires were already priced into the existing $5 sound-trigger line, so they do not move anything. Verification caveat, same as the SC1148 and 4397 rows: Mouser bot-walls scripted requests, so both product pages were confirmed to exist and be indexed under those URLs and part numbers, but live stock and price were not machine-read. Worth a human click before merge. Adafruit's direct prices are $3.95 (794) and $1.95 (1953). |

Parts-list maintenance from a build. Add the parts it turned out to need (Pi Active Cooler, jumper ribbons by gender, Qwiic cabling for the LIS3DH and DS3502, an X1202/X1206 power button, a DC barrel-jack adapter), name the rows that said Any or TODO, explain why the 27W supply must negotiate 5V 5A and how the UPS HAT replaces it, add UPS safety rules to the parts list and the Geekworm guide, fill in the X1206 row, drop the tripod placeholder, and recompute the totals with complete-build lines. The Geekworm guide test read that guide as ASCII and the new 0 °C note is its first non-ASCII character, so both battery guides are now read as UTF-8, matching the rest of the docs.

…stimate Measured on the 2026-09-09 Onshape export of the v2 back housing: the insert pockets and standoffs locate the OPS243, IWR6843LEVM, X1202 + Pi stack, LIS3DH pad, camera and button, and the sound detector sits on the back of the screen in the front half. A new Cable Lengths section lists every run with straight-line, routed and buy lengths. Consequences in the rows: the female/female jumper pack moves from 150 mm (PRT-12796) to 300 mm (SparkFun PRT-09389) because the detector-to-OPS243 HOST_INT run is ~175 mm routed and the front half lifts off for service; the micro-USB row gets 250-300 mm; the DS3502 Qwiic-to-Qwiic is settled at 100 mm; and the 1152 button leads (200 mm) are flagged as short of the ~250 mm button-to-PSW run. The cost summary gains an enclosure filament line (~600 g PLA, ~$15, estimated from the CAD wall volumes) and the totals move with it and with the jumper pack.

…nt the case in PETG Add an Enclosure Hardware table: 24 PEM SI IUTB-M2.5, 4 IUTB-M2 and 2 IUTB-M3 brass heat-set inserts (counted from the v2 back-housing pockets plus the front housing and kickstand as drawn), the Keystone 29301 M2.5x6, APM HEXSEAL M2x4 and Keystone 29314 M3x12 screws, open-flight#4 washers, the eight M2.5x35 DIN 912 through-bolts, and the two 3 x 4 mm press-fit ball plungers for the kickstand detent, with where each goes and a ~$35 line in the totals. Parts follow openflight-enclosure#4; prices are from Bossard, DigiKey and J.W. Winco because Mouser walls fetches, and the Mouser minimum-quantity caveat for PEM inserts is stated. The filament estimate assumes PETG rather than PLA, since the case lives outdoors in the sun and PETG handles UV and heat far better while staying easy to buy and print.

The panel jack sits in the top shelf at Y +83, not in the top wall, so the run to the X1202 barrel jack is ~145 mm straight and ~205 mm routed rather than 165 / 220; the 250 mm buy length is unchanged.

Button hole to the X1202 PSW header is ~180 mm in a straight line across the Pi stack, so the Adafruit 1152's 200 mm leads reach with ~20 mm to spare. The routed detour (~250 mm) is not needed for this one cable, so the row's open item is closed and the Cable Lengths table says which lead to use. Every other run keeps its routed basis.

The parts rows already say which length to buy, so the Cable Lengths section keeps its heading and a one-line pointer and folds the measurement text and the run table into a details block, the way the setup pages fold their manual steps. Ordinary builders can skip it; the links from the jumper rows still land on the heading.

What does this PR do?
Parts-list maintenance from a build: new rows for the parts a build turned out to need, three rows that were unnamed or unlinked now named, two clarified rows, and the cost-summary arithmetic that follows.
docs/build/battery.mdAny), sized from the v2 enclosure CADTODO) and its place further down the Qwiic chaindocs/setup/raspberry-pi.mdJumper wires, named and split by gender
Three rows previously said
Anyfor their link, which left both the gender and the length to the builder and kept the wires out of the shared Mouser project. Both genders are needed, for different reasons.GATE→ Pi BCM17 wire that the IWR6843 path uses to timestamp impact (the IWR6843 itself is on USB)Why female/female for the trigger wiring: the Pi GPIO header, the OPS243 J3 header, and headers soldered onto the SEN-14262 are all male pins, so both ends have to be female. The detector
GATE→ BCM17 wire that the IWR6843 setup adds (the radar itself is on USB; the wire gives the Pi the impact edge to align the radar frames to) comes out of the same strip, so that row points at the same part rather than repeating the spec.Why female/male as well: these are pin extensions — the female end goes onto a Pi GPIO pin and the male end re-presents that pin for a second connector. The Touch Display 2 supplied 3-pin power cable lands on header pins 2 (5V) and 6 (GND) and its shell spans pins 2/4/6, so it covers both 5V pins. The extension re-presents one for the OPS243.
On length: 300 mm for F/F, 75 mm for F/M, and why they differ
The F/F row was first written around Adafruit's 75 mm strip (794, Mouser 485-794), which cannot be found at Mouser, then moved to SparkFun's 150 mm PRT-12796. Measuring the runs on the v2 enclosure CAD (see the Cable lengths section below) showed that 150 mm covers the OPS243 ↔ Pi wires (~50 mm) but not the sound-detector wires: the detector now sits on the back of the screen in the front half, so
GATE→HOST_INTis ~130 mm straight and ~175 mm routed, and the front half has to come off for service. So the pack is SparkFun's 12 in / 305 mm PRT-09389 (10 wires, $4.95), which covers all eight runs from one pack; Mouser's 474-PRT-09389 listing is unverified. The F/M row stays on the Adafruit 1953 75 mm ribbon, a pin extension at the header itself, which the run lengths do not touch.Raspberry Pi Active Cooler (SC1148)
The kiosk drives the UI, rolling-buffer capture, and FFT processing continuously. A passively cooled Pi 5 throttles under that sustained load, so the clip-on active cooler is worth listing as a recommended accessory rather than leaving builders to discover the throttling themselves.
Note on the price and the vendor link
Listed at ~$8. Street pricing varies a fair bit by reseller — PiShop US $10.95, Adafruit $13.50, Mouser around the $8 mark — so treat it the way the rest of the table treats its
~Pricecolumn.The link points at mouser.com, matching the existing OpenFlight Mouser project reference at the top of the file. It was sourced from mouser.se for this build, but the .com product page lists the same part.
Qwiic cabling for the inclinometer and the DS3502
Two rows. The Amazon multi-cable kit stays listed and keeps its "used in the validated build" note; the Qwiic-to-Dupont row is an alternative to it, and the Qwiic-to-Qwiic row belongs to the DS3502, so neither moves the subtotal.
Qwiic-to-Dupont, single cable (Adafruit 4397, Mouser 485-4397) is the Mouser-stocked equivalent of that kit, so the whole optional inclinometer can be ordered from the Mouser project instead of splitting the order across two vendors. 150 mm is the only length Adafruit makes in this JST-SH-to-female-socket configuration; the shorter 50-100 mm Qwiic cables are Qwiic-to-Qwiic and have no Dupont end at all. The row also says the chain can continue: the LIS3DH's second STEMMA QT socket carries a Qwiic-to-Qwiic cable further down to the DS3502 digital potentiometer, so one Pi-to-header cable serves both boards.
Qwiic-to-Qwiic (Adafruit 4210, 100 mm) is the link from the LIS3DH's second STEMMA QT socket down to the DS3502 digital potentiometer, so the DS3502 joins the same I2C chain without taking any Pi header pins. It therefore sits in the Optional table next to the DS3502, not under the inclinometer, and is only needed if the DS3502 is fitted. With the v2 enclosure CAD in hand the length is settled at 100 mm on the assumption that the DS3502 sits beside the LIS3DH on the floor; its two wiper wires to
R17on the sound detector then make the long run to the front half instead of the I2C chain.X1202 power button
The Geekworm X1202 (and X1206) exposes its external power button on a 2-pin
XH2.54-2Pheader and expects a momentary switch: the X1202 wiki lists "External power button connector x1 - XH2.54-2P" and "Supported External Momentary Switch". Nothing in the list covered that header, so a builder putting the UPS in an enclosure had to work out a button and a lead themselves.The new row is a Mouser-orderable, solder-free pair. Adafruit 1445 (Mouser 485-1445, $0.95) is a 16 mm panel-mount momentary push button, normally open, with two 0.11" tabs; Adafruit 1152 (Mouser 485-1152, $4.95) is a 10-pack of 20 cm wire pairs, each ending in a 2-pin JST XH plug that fits the X1202 header and two pre-crimped 0.11" quick-connects that push onto those tabs. Adafruit's 1445 page names the 1152 pairs as the way to wire it, so the pairing is the maker's, not a guess. Nothing is soldered or crimped; the enclosure needs a 16 mm hole. The row is priced at ~$6, which is what the optional-extras line carries. The X1202 row also gains an Amazon link (bare board, batteries not included) next to the Geekworm one, so the HAT can ride in the Amazon order when that is the cheaper shipping route.
Momentary only. The row says the button has to spring back. The X1202 header is labelled for an external momentary switch, and the wiki says the on-board button does what the Pi 5's own power button does: a short press boots or requests a shutdown, a long hold forces power off. A latching or toggle switch holds the line closed, which the board reads as a button held forever, so it is the wrong part even though many "power switch" listings are latching.
Powering it. The X1202 takes 6-18V DC on its 5.5 × 2.1 mm barrel jack, or 5V 5A on USB-C, and the wiki says never both at once. It converts either into the 5.1V 5A the Pi 5 needs and charges the cells from the same input. The row is written as a spec rather than a single product. Geekworm states the requirement as a current, "6-18Vdc, ≥3A", and publishes no wattage, so the row repeats that and then says what 3A buys at each voltage, worked from the loads: the Pi 5 up to 25.5W (5.1V × 5A) with both radars on its USB budget, and charging up to about 12W (the wiki's 3.2A into the cells). At 12V, 36W covers both at once, which is why Geekworm's own adapters are 12V; at 9V, 27W runs the Pi but charging slows under load; at 6V, 18W cannot carry a full Pi load. So the row tells builders to check the amps against the voltage instead of reading "6-18V" as "any adapter", and that a little over 25W runs the Pi but does not also charge at full rate. Two 12V examples are linked so it is still orderable without a search: the MEAN WELL GST36 (12V 3A, EU plug and US plug at Mouser, so it fits the Mouser order) and Geekworm's own PSU60 (12V 5A 60W, $17 at Geekworm, on Amazon alone or bundled with the X1202). It stands in for the 27W USB-C supply rather than adding to it, so it stays out of the totals.
Sourcing: what was checked, and the rejected options
The aim is to keep a build to two orders, Mouser and Amazon, with no soldering or crimping. Geekworm sells its own pre-wired button for these boards, but only direct from Geekworm, so it is not listed; Geekworm's one Amazon button (the 19 mm latching/momentary switch) is for the older X735/X708/X728 boards, whose switch header is not XH2.54.
On the Adafruit pair: the 1152 has an Amazon listing (B00SK6M36U) but it showed as unavailable, and Adafruit's own page showed it out of stock; Mouser's stock was not machine-read (bot wall), so the row says so. The 1445 was in stock at Adafruit. Adafruit's 1152 page warns that the 0.11" spades fit its plain buttons well and its 16 mm illuminated buttons poorly, which is why the illuminated ones Adafruit sells on Amazon are not offered as a substitute.
Rejected: Adafruit 4872 (a plain 2-pin JST XH pair) leaves bare wires at the button end; APEM 1213A2, a 12.2 mm momentary button on Mouser, has 6.35 mm quick-connect tabs, so the 1152 leads do not fit it.
Power supply: why it has to be 5V 5A, and why the UPS changes the picture
The 27W row used to say only "Official Pi 5 power supply (5V 5A)". It now says why that is not a preference: the Pi 5 releases its full downstream USB power budget only when the supply negotiates 5A at 5V, and the two radars need that budget. A standard USB-C PD charger stops at 3A at 5V, the Pi then caps the USB ports, and the radars brown out or fail to enumerate. The row also warns against routing the supply through a USB-C extension or panel-mount pass-through in the case: the extra contact resistance causes voltage sag and can make the 5V 5A negotiation fail.
A note under the Power & Accessories table then gives the way out: with the X1202/X1206 fitted, the 27W supply is not needed at all. Any barrel-jack supply that gives the UPS enough power (Geekworm's 3A or more anywhere in its 6-18V range; at 12V that also charges at full rate while the Pi runs flat out, at lower voltages it does not) feeds it, the UPS delivers 5.1V 5A to the Pi over its pogo pins, and the Geekworm setup script's
PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000keeps the Pi's USB budget at the 5A level. For a device that lives in a case the barrel jack is the better input either way, and a 12V adapter already on hand brings the build cost down. The totals are left as they are, since the 27W supply ($14) and the listed 12V adapter (~$15) cost about the same; the saving is real only when the adapter is one you already own.A second note under the same table carries the three UPS safety rules a builder has to know before the first charge: never charge the cells below 0 °C (lithium plating permanently damages them and can make them unsafe), never connect the UPS's USB-C input and barrel jack at the same time, and when powering from USB-C plug into the UPS board, not the Pi. The operator guide
docs/build/battery.mdalready had the last two in its install warning; the below-freezing rule is added to its cell warning so both documents agree.Cable lengths, measured on the v2 enclosure
A new Cable Lengths (Enclosure v2) section in the parts list gives every run with a straight-line, a routed and a buy length. The heading and a one-line pointer stay visible; the measurement text and the table sit in a collapsed
<details>block, since the parts rows already carry the lengths to buy and ordinary builders do not need the derivation. The numbers come from the 2026-09-09 Onshape export of the v2 back housing (back-pi-display2, the Touch Display 2 variant): the insert pockets and standoffs locate each board (OPS243 on the 67 × 82 mm pattern bottom-right, IWR6843LEVM on the 48.5 × 49 mm pattern bottom-left, X1202 + Pi stacked over the battery hatch, LIS3DH on a 21 × 13 mm pad on the floor, camera on the top shelf, 16 mm button in the top wall at the left), and the sound detector's position comes from the build, where it is screwed to the back of the display in the front half.J3↔ Pi header (UART, 5V, GND)GATE→ OPS243HOST_INTVCC/GND/GATE→ Pi headerJ5→ Pi USB-APSWThree consequences land in the rows: the F/F jumper pack becomes the 300 mm PRT-09389 (a 150 mm wire does not make the detector runs, and the front half has to lift off for service, which adds ~100 mm to them), the micro-USB row gets a 250-300 mm length, and the DS3502 cable is 100 mm. The button lead is the one run taken straight: the 1152's 200 mm leads cover the ~180 mm straight line across the Pi stack, and that is accepted.
How the runs were measured, and what is assumed
The STEP was read with a small ISO 10303-21 parser (no CAD kernel): each solid's B-rep gives its circle features, and the insert pockets (Ø3.15 mm, the McMaster 93502A109 size) and Ø8 mm standoff bosses cluster into the board patterns above. The OPS243 pattern was matched against the OPS243 STEP in
cad/, the LEVM pattern against the top-view figure in TI's SWRU585, the X1202 against the 97.4 × 85 mm board and the Pi's 58 × 49 mm holes, and the LIS3DH pad against the Adafruit 2809 hole pattern. Connector positions on each board are from the board drawings or photos. Assumed: the sound detector's depth in the front half (its XY comes from the build photo); the OPS243 turned withJ3toward the Pi (turned the other way the UART run grows to ~125 mm, still inside 150); and the LEVM turned with TX above RX as the mounting guide requires, which putsJ5toward the Pi. Both radars hang antenna-out from the top of their standoffs, so connectors face the floor.DS3502 digital potentiometer
The row previously said its role was
TODO. It is intended for the SEN-14262R17gain trim: in series with a fixed 37k resistor, the 10K digital pot gives a software-adjustable 37-47k range, so preamp gain can be tuned from code instead of desoldering and swapping a fixed resistor.This is not built or tested yet — nothing drives it in code, and sound-trigger.md still documents a soldered R17. The row says both things plainly rather than implying a working configuration. It now also gives the wiring plan (Pi → Qwiic-to-Dupont → LIS3DH → Qwiic-to-Qwiic → DS3502, no extra header pins) and says the part is moot if the sound trigger goes away.
Sound trigger becomes an optional path once PR #221 lands
PR #221 adds an opt-in
--trigger hardwaremode: the OPS243 fires the rolling-buffer dump from its own internal speed trigger, on OPS243-A firmware v1.3.1, with no SEN-14262 in the loop. It is open, not merged, and sound mode stays the default there. So the Sound Trigger section gets a callout rather than a restructure: it names the PR, the firmware requirement, and says the section's parts become optional if it lands and the builder's OPS243 can take that firmware. The totals are untouched; a sentence under the Cost Summary says the $16 Sound Trigger line drops out on that path.Cost summary
Power & Accessories takes +$8 for the cooler and +$2 for the F/M ribbon. Sound Trigger stays at $18: naming the F/F pack replaced a $5 guess with SparkFun's $4.95 list price for the 300 mm PRT-09389. Both carry through the subtotal and total.
The Qwiic-to-Dupont cable sits under the optional inclinometer section and the Qwiic-to-Qwiic cable next to the DS3502; the subtotal rolls up neither, so they do not move the totals. The new $15 optional line is LIS3DH $5 + Qwiic-to-Dupont kit $10. The button pair sits in the Optional table next to the UPS HATs, which the subtotal does not roll up either.
The complete-build line answers "what does everything cost": the $566 total with angle radar + $15 inclinometer + $108 optional extras + $15 enclosure filament + $35 enclosure hardware = $739. The extras are X1202 $48 + four 18650 cells at ~$6 each ($24, the street price of a Samsung 35E, Molicel P28A, or LG MJ1 at the specialist battery stores) + button and leads $6 (Adafruit list $0.95 + $4.95) + OV9281 camera $30. It takes the X1202 rather than the X1206 and leaves out the deprecated K-LD7 path, the untested DS3502 and its Qwiic-to-Qwiic link, and the 12V DC adapter (a replacement for the 27W USB-C supply already counted, not an addition); the sentence under the table says so.
A second pair of lines gives the same build with the X1206: $52 for the HAT (Geekworm's list price) + four flat-top 21700 cells at ~$8 ($32; Samsung 50E and Molicel P42A sell for $6-9 at the same battery stores) + the $6 button pair + the $30 camera = $120 of extras, $751 complete. The X1206 row itself was a
Varies + cellsplaceholder and now carries what the Geekworm page and wiki say: the four 21700 holders are on the board (no separate holder to buy), only unprotected cells are allowed, the V2.0 DC input is 9-18V at 3A or more, USB-C is 5V 5A, and the power-button header is the same XH2.54 one, so the button row serves both HATs.The enclosure filament line is an estimate from the CAD, not a slicer figure, and it assumes PETG rather than PLA: the case lives outdoors in the sun, and PETG holds up to UV and to a hot car far better than PLA (it softens at ~80 °C against PLA's ~60 °C) while still being a stock spool everywhere and an easy print on an enclosed printer such as the P1S. The v2 back housing is a 195 × 248 mm tray, 52 mm deep inside, with 3.5 mm walls, a 2.5 mm floor, 57 mm radar standoffs and four corner bolt columns, about 300 g at two walls and 10 % infill; the front half ~170 g, the kickstand ~70 g, the hatch and pegs ~30 g, and supports plus a purge line bring it to ~600 g of PETG (a few percent more than in PLA), two-thirds of a spool, ~$15 at $20-25/kg. The sliced weight should replace it once the v2 files are published. Inserts, screws and the ball plunger are in the Enclosure Hardware table above.
Enclosure hardware: inserts, screws, plunger
A new Enclosure Hardware table lists what the v2 case needs to hold its boards and itself together, counted from the insert pockets in the v2 back housing (OPS243 ×4, IWR6843LEVM ×4, LIS3DH ×4, X1202 stack ×4, battery hatch ×4, camera ×4 at M2) plus the front housing and kickstand as drawn in the August assembly (4 × M2.5 for the through-bolts, 2 × M3 for the kickstand pegs). Parts follow the decisions in openflight-enclosure#4: PEM SI IUTB-M2.5 / IUTB-M2 / IUTB-M3 brass inserts and Keystone 29301 (M2.5 × 6), 29314 (M3 × 12) and 4692 (#4 washer) from Mouser, APM HEXSEAL RM2X4MM 5701 for the four M2 camera screws, and from Amazon the two things Mouser does not carry: eight M2.5 × 35 DIN 912 A2 through-bolts and two 3 × 4 mm press-fit ball plungers (Ganter GN 614-3-NI class, McMaster 6052N11 in the drawing) for the kickstand detent.
About $37 as listed, $31 at exact counts, $35 in the Cost Summary. Not needed: the Touch Display 2 mounts on its own tapped pads with its boxed screws, and the Pi sits on the X1202 with Geekworm's spacers.
Where the prices come from, and the MOQ caveat
Mouser walls scripted requests, so prices are from distributors that publish them: Bossard for IUTB-M3 ($0.21 at 1-249, 1,500 in stock; IUTB-M2.5 taken as the same, being the same body, and IUTB-M2 is quote-only there), DigiKey for the Keystone parts (29301 $0.31 single / $0.21 at 25; 29314 $0.54 single / $0.41 at 10; 4692 $0.10 single / $0.075 at 10), the issue's mouser.se reading for the APM HEXSEAL screw (about SEK 12 each), and J.W. Winco's 1-99 bracket ($2.29) for the plunger. The through-bolt figure is a typical 25-pack price; Amazon and Bolt Depot both refused the fetch, and Aspen only sells a 500-box ($346). The table says so. Mouser sometimes sells PEM inserts in multiples of 100; if all three lines come that way the inserts are ~$60 instead of ~$10 and the CNC Kitchen "Standard" set on Amazon is the cheaper route, which the section notes.
The Tripod Mount row is gone: it was a placeholder ("1/4"-20 mount", no link) for a part the build does not use, so it came out rather than being carried into the complete-build total.
Rebased onto main after the docs-site move (#236)
The branch was rebased onto
mainafter #236 moved the docs into the Zensical site layout. The three files this PR edits now live atdocs/get-started/parts.md,docs/build/battery.md, anddocs/setup/raspberry-pi.md. The two relative links this PR adds were retargeted for that layout so the strict docs build passes, andtests/test_geekworm_setup.pynow reads the two battery guides as UTF-8, since the new "0 °C" note is the operator guide's first non-ASCII character and the ASCII read was the failing job on the previous CI run.Why was this required?
Builders order from this file, so a part that is needed in practice but missing, unnamed, or unlinked becomes a second order and a second wait.
Anyis not orderable. It does not say which gender, does not say how short, and cannot go into the Mouser project — so the one category of part every build needs was the one category you had to work out yourself.TODOrow invites someone to buy a part with no idea what it is for, or to delete it as dead weight.Automated tests
No new tests: the PR changes Markdown documentation (
docs/get-started/parts.md,docs/setup/raspberry-pi.md,docs/build/battery.md) plus a two-line encoding change intests/test_geekworm_setup.py. That test file already covers the operator guide (test_operator_guide_links_models_and_distinguishes_batteries) and the battery overview (test_battery_guide_documents_provider_interface_and_cli); both now read the guides as UTF-8 instead of ASCII, because the "0 °C" note this PR adds is the operator guide's first non-ASCII character and the ASCII read was what failed the three pytest jobs on the previous CI run. Internal links are covered by the strict docs build (zensical build --strict) that runs on every docs PR since #236.In place of tests, the mechanical properties of the change were checked directly (see below): table structure, internal link targets, external link reachability, and the cost arithmetic.
Manual (human) testing
Docs-only, so verification was link-checking and proof-reading rather than a bench run.

docs/build/sound-trigger.mdnever states connector genders; it assumes headers get soldered to the SEN-14262 but not which kind. F/F follows from the Pi header, OPS243 J3, and a male-headered SEN-14262 all being male pins. If a build uses female headers on the detector, that row needs to say F/M instead.~Pricecolumn, left alone rather than silently widening the scope of this PR.PSWheader is ~180 mm in a straight line, so the 200 mm leads cross the Pi stack with ~20 mm to spare; routed around the stack the run would be ~250 mm. Accepted as fine for this one cable.J3toward the Pi, and the LEVM to be turned TX-above-RX per the mounting guide. Each is stated in the section; none changes a buy length except the OPS243 turned the other way, which still fits 150 mm.XH2.54-2Pheader marked "DC 6-18V power input", the same connector family as the power-button header. That suggests a no-solder route like the button's: a panel-mount 5.5 × 2.1 mm jack with pre-wired leads terminated in an XH2.54 housing, plugged onto that header. The open question is current. JST rates an XH contact at 3 A with 22 AWG wire, the X1202 asks for 3 A or more at 12 V, and the wiki puts the charge current alone at up to 3.2 A, so one XH pair sits at its rating at 12 V; a 15-18 V adapter lowers the current for the same power, but that needs checking before it goes in the table. The alternative is a panel-mount jack with a pigtail ending in a 5.5 × 2.1 mm plug into the on-board jack, which barrel contacts handle and which pre-made "DC panel-mount extension" cables cover. Once the Pi and X1202 positions in the case are fixed, the simplest answer may be a cutout in the side wall over the on-board jack, so the adapter plugs in directly and no case port or extension is needed at all. To be researched together with the enclosure repo; the cutout reference proposed there is the Switchcraft L722A (Mouser 502-L722A, 5 A, Ø8.0 mm D-hole), with the no-solder options listed in openflight-enclosure#4.Checklist
