Put the PiCAN 2 in its shell

Assembling the PiCAN 2 USB to CAN adapter in its two-part printed shell.

1. Lay the board in the top shell

   Turn the top shell over so its open side faces you, then lay the PiCAN 2 board in it, components first.

   The XH connector goes through the notch at one end and the USB plug sticks out of the other.

2. Push it toward the USB end

   Slide the board toward the USB end as far as it goes, so the USB plug sits fully in its opening.

3. Snap the bottom shell on

   Fit the **lip** at the XH connector end of the bottom shell first, then press the USB end down until the shell snaps shut.

   If the shell does not close, the board is not pushed all the way toward the USB end.

4. Done

   The PiCAN 2 is ready to plug into a USB port. The [PiCAN manual](https://docs.isiks.tech/pican/manual/) covers the wiring and the CAN setup.
