Compatible with B+?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi model B+?

If it is, are there any cases that'd hold it with B+?

    I meant the PiFace control-and-display. Presumably it'd be electrically compatible,

    but it isn't immediately obvious it fits physically.

     

    If it does, the next question would be if there's a case that'd house it and the B+?

    It won't fit unless you add a spacer.

    The standard cases probably won't since the connectors are in slightly different locations.

    Height might also be the issue.

    OK, thanks. Looks like I'll be buying two more old model B's, then

    (along with some B+'s to experiment with).

    Let's hope someone makes a case that can hold the B+ with the DAC (and extender)

    or a version of the DAC redesigned for the B+ (and a suitable case).

    You may find trying to buy them on element14 a bit difficult.

    The website here shows none.

     

    You can only find B+ and strangely they show the CAD as being an add-on.

    So clearly someone hasn't got the message yet.

    No it doesn't if you check my video review  I actually tried it !

    You can how ever get round this by having a male& female header soldered together to give you the height above the board to clear the new USB connector layout
