Getting there. The Pi is glued down!



Just figuring out the best placement of the USB hub, Powerboost and Wifi dongle. They will probably go on top of my shoulder buttons on the back side.

This looks like a snake pit covered in honey. Oh god and you do not even have that kind of big display/board combo like i do.
I am really afraid of what mine will look like and what i'll have to do to make it fit.

I LOL'd big time.

That's how I felt about mine too. I should have shortened more wires as I finalized positioning, but I ended up saying "meh" and sandwiched it all together. For my second build that I am working now, I am going to try more of "measure twice and cut once" so I don't have as much excess wiring.

Hey Popcorn, where did you get that teeny tiny HDMI connector? Looking for something similar, if not even shorter!

Just strip it from its case.

Plus there is one in the Essentials Package of the Pi Zero, which is why you should get those instead of only the Pi Zero.

Kapton tape. This stuff handles extreme heat! You can put a soldering gun right on it.

Ah I see thank you! Almost thought so, will order a couple of them. I'm going with a RPi 2 Model B though, don't know of any essential package for those.

That's Kapton(R) Tape, you can easily use regular isolating tape as well.

I lost track of what and where i ordered in the beginning of my "buy everything needed" spree,
so now i own 5 of those little adapters.

Thanks, I thought this was the big difference between normal electrical tape and this. Ordered a couple of rolls.
