How to build pib´s head

We have created a simple guide that you can use to assemble pib’s head. Feel free to use it.

pib’s head consists of 2 printable parts and is assembled in 15 steps.

Please make sure to install pib´s software on the micro SD card first before you build pib´s head. Follow this tutorial for building it: How to install Raspberry Pi

Printable parts – Overview

Step 1

Step 1

Insert 2 x speakers (part of the screen package) into the shown spots in the E05 LCD screen.

Step 1 note

Step 1 – note

The small white parts at the end of the cable look symmetrial. But they are not.

Attach the E02 TinkerForge HAT to Raspberry Pi using the GPIO pins.
Make sure, the TinkerForge HAT is placed in the shown orientation.

Step 10a

Step 10a

For the future power supply, we need to attach the black/red-cable onto the TinkerForge HAT.
Therefore, cut 90 cm of the cable, strips its end a little bit and connect them into the 2-pole-connector (part of the TinkerForge package).

Step 10b
