Hello.
My PicoW Stellar Unicorn came with 2 metal legs. The holes on the PCB seem too small; anyone know how to jam these metal legs into the PCB? Should I use a drill to increase the diameter of the holes? Thanks

Are you putting them in the correct holes? They don’t mount in the holes in the very corners, those are for mounting the diffuser. There are two larger diameter holes, one is marked LEG by the QW/ST connectors; and the other one is just above the Pico on the other opposite side.
Yes, The holes labeled for the legs is what I’ve tried; they have a slightly larger diameter than the other mounting holes. I’m wondering if my board came with the wrong legs.
There are two sizes. The ones I have are 45mm long with a ~3mm diameter. The screw is M2.5.
If they’re like my Galactic Unicorn, the rounded end of the legs unscrew, and the screw is what goes through the hole - not the entire leg.
Wow, do I feel like an idiot! There was no part of my brain that thought these metal legs were threaded on one end! Thanks for your response, ahnlak!
Glad we got you there in the end!
I should have realized that Pimoroni would design a unique and clever metal leg for their products!
