Tips Before connecting Wolfson audio card with Raspberry pi

Hello World ..!!

     Here are some tips before connecting wolfson pi audio card with raspberry pi.

How  to  connect  the Wolfson  Audio  Card to  Raspberry  Pi

This  Wolfson  soundcard  has  been  designed  to  plug  in  to  Raspberry  Pi  simply  and  easily.  It  is  compatible  with  Raspberry  Pi  Models  A  and  B  Hardware  Revision  2.0  boards,  which  feature  the  8 pin  audio  GPIO  connector,  known  as  P5,  and  located  right  next  to  the  GPIO  header  as show  below.

It  uses  innovative  sprung  connectors  to  connect  with  Raspberry  Pi.  This  avoids  the  need  to solder  an  8 pin  header  to  your  Raspberry  Pi, thus making  installation  quick  and  easy.

a.     Ensure  the  eight  pads  on  connector  P5  on  Raspberry  Pi  are  free  of  dirt  and  grease.  If necessary,  use  a  little degreaser,  such  as  a  very  small  amount  of  detergent  on  a  lightly dampened  paper  towel,  and  wipe  the  eight  pads  clean.  Leave  them  to  dry  thoroughly.


b.     If  necessary,  repeat  the  process  with  the  sprung  connectors  on  the  soundcard.


c.     Locate  the  nylon  pillar  in  the  box  contents,  screw  it  into  the  mounting  hole  shown  in  the image  below,  and  tighten.  Don’t  over  tighten.


d.     Push  the  soundcard  onto  Raspberry  Pi,  making  sure  the  board  is  pressed  all  the  way,  and that  all  eight  pins  have  made  contact  with  Rasp pi .
