Description

PDF

A remix of Rex Tang's Swap Pi case for Pi 5, made smaller and with some edits to fit the Pi 4.
This case has a 12mm push button for shutdown/startup, and a 3mm LED for system light. Most parts have been remade to reduce the space between parts, and the overall size. It now fits together with a bit of friction. Check the original design for build details, I have used all the same parts mentioned there including the DeskPi board, M2.5 heat inserts and screws.

Instructions for Power button and LED:
Wire the power button to GPIO 3 and ground. Wire the LED to GPIO 14 and ground.

Add the following lines to config.txt (found on the SD card on PC): 

dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown 

enable_uart=1
