+## Assembly Notes
+
+### Sensor Housing Assembly
+
+1. **Insert Electronics**:
+   - ESP32-C3 DevKit in top shell
+   - MPU6050 IMU aligned with housing center
+   - LiPo battery in bottom shell compartment
+
+2. **Close Housing**:
+   - Align top and bottom shells
+   - Insert 4× M2×6mm screws through bottom, into top
+   - Tighten until snug (do not overtighten, plastic may crack)
+
+3. **Attach Clip**:
+   - Choose appropriate clip size (3mm, 5mm, or 8mm)
+   - Slide clip onto housing rails
+   - Apply rubber pads to clip jaws (prevent surface scratches)
+
+### Magnetic Mount Assembly (Multi-Sensor)
+
+1. **Prepare Base Plate**:
+   - Clean model surface with isopropyl alcohol
+   - Apply 3M VHB tape to magnetic_mount_base.stl
+   - Press firmly onto wing/elevator (wait 24h for full adhesion)
+
+2. **Install Magnets**:
+   - Insert 2× N52 magnets into sensor_housing_magnetic_top.stl pockets
+   - Ensure correct polarity (N-S attracts base plate magnets)
+   - Secure with CA glue if loose
+
+3. **Attach Sensor**:
+   - Snap sensor housing onto magnetic base (2-second operation)
+   - Magnets hold ~500g force (sufficient for workshop use)

+    │
+    ├─► [+] TP4056 IN+  (Battery charging input)
+    │       TP4056 IN-  [GND]

+```
+
+**I2C Configuration**:
+- **Address**: 0x68 (default, AD0 pulled low)
+- **Frequency**: 400kHz (fast mode)
+- **Pull-ups**: Internal ESP32 pull-ups enabled (no external resistors needed)
+
+**Alternative**: BNO055 IMU (for ±0.1° accuracy upgrade)

+    └────► GND
+
+Output Voltage = (LiPo Voltage) / 2
+ESP32 ADC reads 0-1650mV (half of LiPo voltage)
+```
+
+**Calculation**:
+```cpp
+float adc_value = analogRead(GPIO0);  // 0-4095 (12-bit)
+float voltage_at_adc = (adc_value / 4095.0) * 3.3;  // Convert to volts

+uint8_t battery_percent = ((battery_voltage - 3.0) / (4.2 - 3.0)) * 100.0;
+```
+
+**Important**:
+- R1 and R2 must be equal (10kΩ each) for 2:1 division
+- ESP32-C3 ADC max input: 3.3V (do NOT exceed)
+- LiPo max voltage 4.2V / 2 = 2.1V (safe margin)

+## Assembly Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Solder HT7333 LDO
+
+1. **Identify pins**: HT7333 (SOT-89 package)
+   ```
+   ┌───────┐
+   │ HT7333│
+   └┬─┬─┬──┘
+    │ │ └── VOUT (3.3V output)
+    │ └──── GND
+    └────── VIN (3.0V-6.0V input)
+   ```
+
+2. Solder to TP4056 OUT+ (VIN) and OUT- (GND)
+3. Connect VOUT to ESP32-C3 3.3V rail
+
+### Step 2: Connect Battery
+
+1. Solder JST connector to LiPo (red = +, black = -)
+2. Connect to TP4056 BAT+ and BAT-
+3. **Important**: Check polarity before connecting!
+
+### Step 3: Wire I2C to MPU6050
+
+1. Solder 4 wires (SDA, SCL, VCC, GND) from ESP32-C3 to MPU6050
+2. Use 22AWG silicone wire (flexible, ~10cm length)
+3. Test continuity with multimeter
+
+### Step 4: Install Voltage Divider
+
+1. Solder two 10kΩ resistors in series
+2. Connect high end to LiPo+ (or TP4056 OUT+)
+3. Connect midpoint to ESP32-C3 GPIO0
+4. Connect low end to GND
+5. Cover with heat shrink tubing
+
+### Step 5: Test Power Supply
+
+1. **Without ESP32 connected**: Measure HT7333 VOUT with multimeter
+2. Expected: 3.25V-3.35V (3.3V ±50mV)
+3. If correct, connect ESP32-C3 3.3V pin
+
+### Step 6: Flash Firmware
+
+1. Connect ESP32-C3 USB-C to computer
+2. Flash Master or Slave firmware via PlatformIO
+3. Open serial monitor (115200 baud)
+4. Verify IMU initialization: "MPU6050 initialized (0x68)"
+
+### Step 7: Calibrate IMU
+
+1. Place sensor on flat, level surface
+2. Power on, wait 10 seconds for stabilization
+3. Web UI (Master) or serial output (Slave) should show ~0.0° pitch/roll
+

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: ESP32 won't power on
+
+**Check**:
+- LiPo voltage (should be 3.7V-4.2V)
+- HT7333 VOUT (should be 3.3V)
+- TP4056 protection (may shut down if overcharged/over-discharged)
+
+**Solution**: Charge LiPo via TP4056 USB-C
+
+### Problem: I2C not detected (MPU6050 not found)
+
+**Check**:
+- Wiring: SDA to GPIO4, SCL to GPIO5
+- I2C address: Run I2C scanner (should show 0x68)
+- Pull-ups: Enable internal pull-ups in firmware
+
+**Solution**: Verify connections, re-solder if cold joints
+
+### Problem: Battery percentage reads 0% or 255%
+
+**Check**:
+- Voltage divider wiring (two 10kΩ resistors in series)
+- ADC pin (GPIO0) connection to midpoint
+- ADC code calibration (3.3V ADC reference)
+
+**Solution**: Measure voltage at GPIO0 with multimeter (should be LiPo voltage / 2)
+
+### Problem: IMU angles drift over time
+
+**Check**:
+- Complementary filter alpha (should be 0.98)
+- IMU temperature (MPU6050 sensitive to >15°C delta from calibration)
+- Vibration isolation (sensor should be firmly mounted)
+
+**Solution**: Recalibrate at operating temperature, increase filter alpha to 0.99
+
+---
+
+## Safety Warnings
+
+⚠️ **LiPo Battery Safety**:
+- Never short-circuit LiPo terminals (fire/explosion risk)
+- Do not charge above 4.2V (TP4056 prevents this)
+- Do not discharge below 3.0V (TP4056 prevents this)
+- Store at 50-60% charge (3.7V-3.8V) if unused >1 week
+- Dispose of damaged/swollen batteries at hazardous waste facility
+
+⚠️ **Soldering Safety**:
+- Use 300-350°C iron temperature (too hot damages components)
+- Solder in ventilated area (avoid flux fumes)
+- Do not touch soldering iron tip (obvious, but critical)
+
+⚠️ **ESD Protection**:
+- ESP32-C3 and MPU6050 are ESD-sensitive
+- Touch grounded metal before handling (discharge static)
+- Avoid working on carpets or synthetic fabrics
