Case for Raspberry PI fitted with Wolfson audio card?

superpat
superpat over 11 years ago

Hi

 

The title says it all!

 

What cases are there that will accommodate a Raspberry PI with a Wolfson card fitted.

 

I have measured the total height of the card and audio board  (from under side of PI pcb to top of spdif connector as 26.5 mm)

 

cheers

 

Patrick

    I've bought those cases that sandwiches the pi between two acrylic sheets using various sized standoff spacers to customize height. Since it's an open design, it allows access to all the new ports.

    It might fit into a H&W TECH case with the top off

    I could have sworn I saw a case for the wolson on cpc's page back when I ordered this - I really could do with something that encloses it as it will be part of a sound system so any suggestions would be welcome. Do CPC have something in the pipeline like they do for the piface?

    I popped a request to ModMyPi re case for this - they seemed very non committal about it and made reference to a "universal" case they are developing at the moment. If I knew how to I would draw it up myself and get a 3d printing service to make on for me, but something tells me it wouldn't be a simple "draw it up and print" process.

    I've just been looking at this and thinking that if I removed all the unneeded sockets (I only want analogue in/out) and flatten/remove the headers the board itself should fit in most model B cases.

     

    I would also remove the analogue out from the Pi board and run a wire from the Wolfson to a minijack where the output was (so it would be labeled correctly) then all that's needed are two RCA sockets on the side in the space where the network socket is on the model B.

     

    So I guess what I need is a B height case with A port holes - has anyone seen one?  I've not seen many A cases at all, let alone oversized ones .

    What about the CamdenBoss case that Farnell/Element14 are selling as a Wolfson Pi case? http://uk.farnell.com/camdenboss/wolfson-board-case-carbon/enclosure-box-abs-carbon-fibre/dp/2407263

    Thanks Colin, that answers most people's question - it looks perfect for non portable use without needing to mod anything image

     

    I'm trying to make a portable recorder though, so a shorter case would be better and having a big hole in the end (for the network port) right next to some semi-floating RCA sockets sounds like an invitation for damage.

    I don't know what the costs would be (and it is based in the USA), but I came across a website that does custom spec cases, including Raspberry Pi cases

     

    http://builttospecstore.storenvy.com/products/404262-raspberry-pi-enclosure-kit

     

    Might be a possible solution to your 'portable-Pi' requirement.

    Excellent - if I can't find a suitable case I will contact them.
