The board seats by putting the USB side in first, then flexing the front and slipping the other side under the hook. (I Cut this off the hook and just push it in)

Power switch can be glued or heat staked. (I melted plastic posts to hold switch)

The batteries I used required me to change the 2.0 JST to the included 1.25 JST, the polarity matched the cable included with the board. (The battery I used was already 1.25 jst)

I soldered the GPS Vcc to Heltec 3.3V, GPS GND to Heltec COM, GPS TX to the Heltec pin 45, and GPS RX to Heltec pin 46. (I used 47 for RX and 48 for TX)

In Meshtastic's configuration, the RX pin is 45 and TX is 46. (I used 47 for RX and 48 for TX)
