Assemble the BrickPi Basic Case with Raspberry Pi B

The BrickPi Basic Case is compatible with the Raspberry Pi B, B+ and 2. For instructions on how to assemble the Basic Case with the B+ & 2 look here.

Assemble the BrickPi Basic Case with the Raspberry Pi B:

You will need a Phillips head or flat head screw driver.

1).  Unpack the hardware.  The acrylic case comes in its own bag, and the screws and posts come in a separate bag.  You should have two acrylic boards: the top board has the Dexter Industries logo etched on it, and the bottom has no laser etching.
