Raspberry Pi Model B+ and the BrickPi

Raspberry Pi Model B+ and the BrickPi

The BrickPi is compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model B+.

For complete instructions on assembling the BrickPi case with the Raspberry Pi B+ and the Raspberry Pi 2, please see our case assembly instructions page here.

To use the BrickPi with the Raspberry Pi Model B+, just mount the BrickPi on the 40 pin header on the Raspberry Pi Model B+. 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+ 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.
