Raspberry Pi Cases

An (incomplete) list of Raspberry Pi Cases with use cases and setup instructions.

Argon One M.2

Use

  • Fits the Raspberry Pi 4b
  • The primary use of this case is to attach a M.2 SATA SSD
    • The board accepts B Key and B+M Key
  • Also offers a power button with some software defined functionality and an Infrared Reciever

Setup

  • Once built and connected to the internet, install the Argon One Pi 4 script in order to use the power button, modify the fan speeds, and configure the Infrared Receiver
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash
  • To configure the fan:
argonone-config

Other Usage

argonone-ir
  • The power button has extra functionality as well
    • When off, click the button to turn on
    • When on:
      • A double tap will reboot
      • A press of 3 or more seconds will soft shutdown (power cut)
      • A press of 5 or more seconds will force shutdown

Miuzei 4 inch HDMI Display

Use

  • Designed for the RPi 4b, but also works with the RPi 3b+.
  • Can be used as just a display connected to the pi or as a touch screen.

Setup

Display

  • Connect the pi to the display then power the pi. The resolution should automatically be configured.
  • The screen may be rotated incorrectly for your use. To configure the orientation:
    • Click the Raspberry in the top left
    • Select Preferences
    • Enter the Screen Configuration
    • Right click the hmdi image
    • Select Orientation
    • Select your desired orientation
      • It will revert back if you don't approve it within 10 seconds

sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./MPI4008-show
  • Using the touchscreen will mess up some functionality on the pi.

Other Usage

The touch screen has a power button.

  • Short press to increase brightness by 10%. After reaching 100%, it will cycle to 1%.
  • Long press for 3 seconds to set the backlight to off, then short press to restore backlight brigtness
