Examples of Hardware Set Up

Removable Cover for Easy Set Up - Long and Short Spacers for Gap between Cooler and HAT Providing Space for Airflow

Removable Cover: Once the cover is removed, you have sufficient space to set up the cooler and install the HAT/add-on on top without struggling with less space and narrow angles.

Easy-to-Modify Side Walls: The side walls have flexible and removable slots. You can modify the side wall to fit the connectors of the addon or HAT according to your requirements. Only a gentle push with the screwdriver is enough to remove the slots. There is no need to make special arrangements for modification.

Long and Short Spacers: Included Female-Male, M2.5 Hexagon Standoffs (4x 18mm and 4x 20mm) accommodate HATs with both long and short GPIO headers. Since you can mount the active cooler and HAT at the same time inside the case, the long spacers leave space between the cooler and the HAT for proper airflow.

Access to a 40 GPIO cable on the side allows for easy connectivity with other devices and peripherals, simplifying setup and integration into various projects.

Raspberry Pi 5, Addon Boards, Cooler, HATs, DIN Rail Mount, Camera Holder, and Electronics are NOT included.
