Assemble the BrickPi Basic Case with Raspberry Pi B+ & 2

The BrickPi Base Case is compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model B+ & 2. Here’s a video showing how to assemble it, as it is a bit of a tight fit. If you are interested in a full 6-sided case, check out the Upgraded BrickPi Case.

To use the BrickPi with the Raspberry Pi Model B+ & 2, just mount the BrickPi on the 40 pin header on the Raspberry Pi Model B+/2. Be careful when mounting the BrickPi since it comes with a 26 pin header and if you mount it incorrectly, it can cause some serious damage to both the BrickPi and the Raspberry Pi.

The pin on the GPIO header on the BrickPi near the port “S5” should go into the Raspberry Pi Model B+/2 header pins on the top left corner, far from the USB ports and the micro USB power connector.

Please look at the pictures below and make sure that you have connected the BrickPi properly before powering it on.
