NOTE: Acrylic is a tough and stiff plastic which is delicate to emphasize concentrations and shares a sure degree of fragility with glass. Acrylic can scratch simply and needs to be cleaned with a light answer of dish detergent and heat water. By no means use cleaners unsuitable for acrylic. By no means use a dry, abrasive material.

Listed here are the elements from the case equipment:

Observe these photos checking elements and orientation of the acrylic items. You will notice a earlier than and after picture for every step. Be sure you have all of the elements prepared, proven within the earlier than image.

Begin by securing the M2.5 x 8mm stand offs to the Pi with the M2.5 nuts.

Then connect the underside plate with the M2.5 x 5mm black screws.

Connect the 2 4-40 x 5/eight screws to the highest plate with the 4-40 x 3/16 F/F stand offs.

Now we have to carfully insert the M3 x 3mm spacers in between the highest LCD PCB and the low PCB. Ensure that the road up with the mounting holes.

Now we have to take away the little buttons from their surrounding acrylic. Merely break free the surplus acrylic.

Insert the longer aspect of the buttons into the button holes within the high plate.

Rigorously add the LCD PCB to the highest plate, and safe in place utilizing the 4-40 nuts.

Now we have to connect the LCD to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header. Whenever you press the LCD down onto the GPIO, do not press all of it the best way down, you want a little bit 1-2mm hole.
