I'm working on a project that utilizes a Raspberry Pi. It's a semi-permanent thing, but I want to be able to easily remove the Pi and use it for other projects if need be. They aren't exactly the easiest or cheapest things to get. This is a RPi 4-b.
My original plan was a 40 pin ribbon cable that went to a piece of proto board. There's a few problems with that:
- I need to deliver power to the pi via GPIO. I'm not sure if the ribbon cable can handle the Pi's power draw. Especially since I'm connecting an external display via DSI.
- I'm putting a fan in the case, which means I'd have to run additional cabling to the fan somehow, either back from the other end of the ribbon cable or from the power supply.
In a perfect world I'd like to pop off the ribbon cable and DSI connector, unscrew the Pi from its mount, and then swap out the SD card. However given the circumstances I'm not confident that's feasible. Thoughts?
