The SmartiPi Touch Pro is a case for the Official Raspberry Pi show and Raspberry Pi 2,3, and 4. There is additionally a mounting point beneath the showcase for the Official Raspberry Pi camera. The camera opening can be secured flush with the included spread part in the unit. That will conceal the camera/gap and furthermore hinder the picture. This case makes an across the board Raspberry Pi PC with a solitary USB-C port in the back to control the parts in the event that. The Raspberry Pi is mounted behind the presentation and the ports are flush with the edge of the showcase. The roomy case gives you the adaptability to include parts inside the case. The case will be made out of infusion shaped ABS plastic, so it very well may be drill or machined for extra customization. Computer aided design models of the case will be additionally accessible to help you in your customization. The Raspberry Pi show, Raspberry Pi, and Raspberry Pi camera are excluded. The huge case expands 45mm from the Raspberry Pi board and the little case broadens 25mm from the Raspberry Pi board.
In each SmartiPi Touch Pro kit are two power cables, one to power the Pi 2 and 3 and display at the same time and one to power the Pi 4 and display at the same time. The input end of the power cables mounts inside the case to expose the USB-C port out the back. We will also include the port blocking part for Pi 2,3, and 4 to customize the ports you wish to expose. Two small white ribbon cables will also be included. One connects the Raspberry Pi to the display and one connecting the Raspberry Pi to the Raspberry Pi camera. You will have the ability to choose between the small and large case after the campaign ends.The Raspberry Pi display, Raspberry Pi, and Raspberry Pi camera are not included.
Key features
We are also including a plastic port cover which can be altered using a utility knife to customize which port is exposed. This is perfect for an industrial or commercial application which limited access to ports is desired. Due to the difference in port locations, two port cover parts will be included: one for the Raspberry Pi 2,3 and one for the Raspberry Pi 4.
The included port cover can be be modified with a utility knife to only expose the ports you want access to. The case can be angled to the desired angled and then made tight by tightening the Philips head screws at the pivot.The case can be adjusted to any viewing angle you wish. But it will not be able to be folded completely flat. The screws on the side can then be tightened to lock the case at a your desired angle.
A single USB-C port on the back is exposed. This will power the display and Raspberry at the same time. The back of the SmartiPi Touch Pro has only a single USB-C port as power input. There are no exposed wires to manage. The USB-C port is mounted sideways and at the bottom for wall mount applications.
A variety of mounting features are provided on the back of the case. There are 75mm VESA mounting points on the back which allow you to buy any existing monitor mount. This adds quite a bit of versatility. Wall mounting eyelets to the back of the case will be added-shown in blue. Using the wall mount eyelets will allow you to mount flush to the wall. 75 mm VESA mounting points are circled in red. Wall hanging eyelets will be added to the back of the case show in blue. The 75mm VESA mounting points (M4 threads) can also be accessed from the inside to mount a PCB or other mounting bracket if you want something to mount to inside the case.
Why is it so special?
Space! The SmartiPi Touch Pro was created for you to fill with electronics, batteries, or hard drives. The number one suggestion from our customers for the SmartiPi Touch case was more room for your own projects. So we have two sizes to pick from. You will be able to choose if you want the large or small case after the campaign is over. If you want one of each, then choose two cases and then you can specify after the campaign how many of each type you want. They are both the same price. The SmartiPi Touch Pro is really a cross between a project box and all in one display. Two sizes of case can be picked from. The difference between the two is the back part that covers the electronics.
Inside the case there is plenty of room to mount whatever you wish. As you can see below, the power cable input mounts to the back cover with the exposed but flush USB-C port out the back. The other ends connect to the Raspberry Pi and the display. The camera amounts upside down down at the bottom of the case. The camera feed can be flipped upside down which for most applications is no issue. The two white cables connecting the camera and the display will also be included. Another great feature of the case is that it exposes the 5v power supply pins on the display. These can be used to power a fan or other peripheral in the case.
There is also room around the camera mounting area to add some small components in that area if you wish. There are two small plastic screw bosses holding the camera that could be cut off if needed. We will also be providing threaded mounting points inside the case to mount your own components. The four VESA mounts on the back cover can also be accessed on the inside to mount components to. Threaded mounting points will be added in the area shown by the orange circles. There can be used to mount your own components.
The four threaded VESA mounts on the back cover can also be accessed from the inside to mount to. Stealth mode, If you mount the port blocking plastic part without exposing any ports, then it is possible to mount the Raspberry Pi the opposite way in the case. You can then connect any USB/ethernet cable to the ports inside the case. Then you can modify the case and create a small opening to run the USB/ethernet cable out of the back of the case. This creates a device with no exposed ports or wires to tamper with.
