Attach Pi sugar battery to raspberry Pi 73 74 Step 1: unpack your Raspberry pi sugar battery. it should contain 4-5 screws 75 76 Step 2: Following [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA4j9hRiFmw), attach your Pi Sugar to your Raspberry Pi. Note that this video may have screws you don't have (and you don't need them). Attach directly with your screws. 77 78  79 80 81 Done! You have assembled the hardware! You should end up with something like this 82 (note that button may be located in a different place. In this picture I used different location) 83  84 85 86 ### 6. Install software and run 87 Navigate to Software guide to install software on your Pin and run it
