2 Configuring the M5Pi
Although the M5Pi system board is packaged in protective materials, it is important to use care while unpacking and setting up.
Static Electricity
The M5Pi is shipped from the factory in an antistatic bag. To reduce the possibility of damage, it is important to neutralize any accumulated static charges on your body before handling the board. The best way to do this is to ground yourself using a special wrist or ankle strap. If you do not have a strap, you should touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object. After you have grounded yourself, ground the M5Pi via the solder pads surrounding one of its mounting holes.
Once the M5Pi is removed from its packaging, place it on top of the antistatic bag. Carefully inspect the board for damage which may have occurred during shipment.
Office Environment
Make sure the finished computer system is in an area with good ventila- tion. The system should not be in direct sunlight, near heaters, or exposed to moisture, dust, or dirt.
