The stacking is supported by spacers and screws. Figure 4-4 shows an display module stacked on top of a MCU board. Figure 4-5 shows an LCD board stacked on the bottom side of a MCU board, note that the MCU board has been flipped upside down in this drawing. Both of these mounting configurations requires four long spacers (M2.5 x 20mm, female/male), four short spacers (M2.5 x 10mm, female/female), and four screws (M2.5 x 5mm).
