Here is how a fitted I Raspberry Pi 3 with a 7-inch touch screen using a SmartiPi Touch case.
Start off by placing four sticky feet on the base.
Now we move on to the ‘door’ at the back of the case. Find one of the small rubber patches…
…and stick it in place.
There is another of these patches to fit to the back of the case…
Next up is to offer the base up to the case hinges and fit the two bolts. It is important not to tighten these bolts too much or the hinge will not operate.
Fit the supplied ribbon cable to the slot in the back of the display screen control board with the silver contacts facing up…
…and offer up the screen to the case, threading the ribbon cable through.
Once in place, the screen can be fixed in to the case with four black screws.
Now let’s fit the Pi. Again, look carefully at how the ribbon cable exits the case and orientates with the Pi’s connector.
Slide the pi in to place and it will mate up with two small pegs in the recess where the Pi sits. At this point you may fix the Pi in place with two screws leaving the board accessible for experiments. However, at this point I will fit the trap door I prepared earlier.
In the next post, another treat for a very deserving little Pi…
