# 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPKfPo0GPXU ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/046/medium800/raspberry_pi_hero_garage.jpg?1434377494) ## Portable Pi There are many applications where a portable Raspberry Pi can be really useful. In most general use-cases, it's convenient to have a Raspberry Pi, display and battery contained in a nice package. In this project, we'll put together a portable Raspberry Pi with a battery and display. This project is relatively simple to put together and only requires a few wired connections. ## **_Touch screen UPDATE_** New version of enclosure now works with 5" 40-pin TFT Display with Touchscreen and Adafruit DPI TFT Kippah for Raspberry Pi with Touch Support [http://www.adafruit.com/product/1596](http://www.adafruit.com/product/1596) [http://www.adafruit.com/product/2453](http://www.adafruit.com/product/2453) Follow the [Kippah Touch tutorial](../../../../adafruit-dpi-display-kippah-ttl-tft/installation#touch-screen-support) for setting up the software. The 3D printed parts are on thingiverse (labled v2). ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/047/medium800/raspberry_pi_kippah-hero-2454.jpg?1434377998) ## Kippah Sauce This project utilizes the Adafruit DPI Display Kippah "hat-like" board to drive a 5" TFT display without the extra cost and baggage of an HDMI decoder. Kippah gives you nice ultra-fast 18-bit color display. This works great with the 5" displays at 800x480. This display is 'native' so it gets all the graphics accelleration capabilities, instant refresh, etc. you would get from an HDMI display. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/049/medium800/raspberry_pi_pb-hero-2465.jpg?1434378075) ## PowerBoost 1000C The PowerBoost 1000C provides 5V @ 1A of regulated power to the Raspberry Pi, Kippah and PAM8302 amplifier. On board charging let's you recharge a lipo battery over microUSB. In this project we are able to comfortably fit a 2500mAh lipo battery in the 3D printed enclosure.  ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/050/medium800/raspberry_pi_audio-circuit-SM.jpg?1434378694) ## Built-in Audio (Optional) There's enough room in the enclosure to fit a thin plastic speaker and a mono Class D audio amplifier. We can wire up an audio cable  (3.5mm jack) to the amp and plug it into the audio jack on the Raspberry Pi. This portion can be optional, but the keep in mind there's no access to the audio jack on this 3D printed enclosure. Warning: ## 3D Printing This project enclosure was designed specially to fit the components listed in the sidebar and below. The parts unfortunately will not fit on smaller print beds (like the Printrbot Simple). To print the parts, you'll need access to a printer with a minimum build plate of 100mm x 168mm x 30mm. No 3D printer? You could send the parts to be printed by a service like 3D Hubs, MakerXYZ or shapeways. You could also try checking out your local hacker/maker space or library. ## Prerequisite Guides Check out the guides below to get a better understanding of the Kippah and the Raspberry Pi 2 or B+ (The enclosure is compatible with both). - [Adafruit DPI Display Kippah](../../../../adafruit-dpi-display-kippah-ttl-tft) - [Introducing Raspberry Pi 2](../../../../introducing-the-raspberry-pi-2-model-b) - [Introducing Raspberry Pi B+](../../../../introducing-the-raspberry-pi-model-b-plus-plus-differences-vs-model-b) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/984/medium800/raspberry_pi_parts.jpg?1434305455) ## Parts - Adafruit DPI Display Kippah - Raspberry Pi 2 - Raspberry Pi B+ - 5" TFT display 40-pin - PowerBoost 100C - PAM8302 Amplifier - Thin plastic speaker - 2500mAh lithium polymer battery - Slide switch - Right-angle 3.5mm stereo plug to pigtail cable - [3/8" to 1/4" Adapter Screw](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2392) - [Swivel-Head Pan Tilt](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2464) ## Tools and Supplies - 3D Printer - Filament - Wire Strippers/Cutters - 30/26AWG silicone-coated stranded wire - Soldering Iron - Solder - Helping-third hands - Panavise Jr. - 6 #2-56 3/8 flat Phillips machine screws - 8 #4-40 3/8 flat Phillips machine screws # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Circuit Diagram ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/103/medium800/raspberry_pi_circuit-diagram.jpg?1435164166) ## The Circuit Diagram The slide switch connects to the **EN** and **GND** pins on the PowerBoost1000C. Connect **5V** and **GND** on the Kippah to the  **5V** and **GND**   pins on the PowerBoost 1000C. The **Vin** and **GND** pins audio amplifier will connect to a set of **positive+** and **negative-** pins on PowerBoost1000C. The speaker connects to the **positive+** and **negatives-** audio out pin on the PAM8302 amplifier. Stereo audio cable plugs into the audio jack on the Raspberry Pi and connects to **A+** and **A-** on the amp. The 5" TFT display connects to a 40-pin FPC extention connector. An included 40-pin cable connects from the Kippah to the extension to the 5" display. JST cable from the lipo battery connects directly to the JST port on the PowerBoost1000C. # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Installation **If you just plug in the DPI Kippah, it won't work on a fresh installation of Raspbian! You must set up the special device tree overlay configuration!** However, its not too bad, check it out below! Info: Note these instructions are tested to work with Raspbian Bookworm as of 2024/04/2 # Connect Display The DPI Kippah has a 40-pin TFT connector. This is a semi-standard connector. A majority of 3.5", 4.3", 5.0" and 7.0" dot-clock DPI displays have this 'standard 40-pin' connector. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/024/429/medium800/adafruit_products_2354_top_screen_01_no_cable_ORIG.jpg?1428703197) Check the Downloads page for an example datasheet so you can check if your display is compatible. All Adafruit 40-pin TFT TTL displays work, we do not guarantee any other displays work. **In fact, if you connect a display that does not match the right pinout, you could easily fry the display if the 20V backlight pin ends up connected to a logic pin!** To connect, gently pull on the two black 'ears' on the FPC connector, and plug in the display so the gold/silver metalic pins are facing 'up' away from the PCB. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/024/430/medium800/adafruit_products_connector.jpg?1428703283) # Update & Upgrade Start by updating and upgrading your Raspberry Pi to the latest software. `sudo apt-get update` `sudo apt-get upgrade` ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/024/405/medium800/adafruit_products_aptgetupdate.png?1428687340) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/024/406/medium800/adafruit_products_aptgetupgrade.png?1428687363) # Update configuration Finally, we'll tell the Pi to use the attached DPI display. The following will work for our 5" and 7" 800x480 displays. Both touch and non-touch displays use the same setup here Start by editing with ```auto sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt ``` and add the following lines at the bottom ```python dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dpi-panel,kippah-7inch ``` For 4.3" TFT use the following: ```auto dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dpi-generic,hactive=480,vactive=272,width-mm=95,height-mm=54 ``` To finish installation, just run **sudo reboot** # Touch screen support If you have a DPI HAT with touchscreen circuitry installed _and_ a touch-screen display, you can easily use it for touch screen support A microUSB cable is required (not included) connect it from the MicroUSB connector on the HAT into one of the Pi's USB port. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/024/428/medium800/adafruit_products_2353_top_demo_with_cable_ORIG.jpg?1428703147) No additional drivers are required! The touchscreen should just work. However, you'll likely want to calibrate the screen. We have a calibration helper python script. Start by installing **python-pip** and **pyusb**. ```auto sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-venv python3 -m venv env --system-site-packages source env/bin/activate pip3 install pyusb ``` Then grab the code and example gradient ```auto cd ~ wget https://github.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/raw/main/ar1100.py wget http://adafruit-download.s3.amazonaws.com/gradient800x480.jpg ``` If you are running it on a 5" display, continue as is. If you are running it on a 7" display, edit with **nano ar1100.py** and change this line: `writeeeprom = CALIBRATED_5IN_800x480;` to `writeeeprom = CALIBRATED_7IN_800x480;` Then run the calibrator with: ```auto cd ~ chmod +x ar1100.py sudo -E PATH=$PATH python ar1100.py ``` Its normal for the first time you run it, it will complain " **Couldn't find generic either**" just run it again! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/024/420/medium800/adafruit_products_try1.png?1428699697) Just hit the up arrow on your keyboard and return, to rerun **sudo python ar1100.py** This time it will continue, program the AR1100 with the calibration data, and give you a rainbow display.  When done, hit Escape on your keyboard ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/024/421/medium800/adafruit_products_try2.png?1428699762) # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## 3D Printing ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/985/medium800/raspberry_pi_3dparts.jpg?1434305486) The parts are optimized to print with no support material. The two enclosure parts are held together with machine screws. They're oriented in center and should be good to print as is. Info: [Download CAD files (Thingiverse)](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:882248) [Download CAD files (Cults3D)](https://cults3d.com/en/gadget/5-display-kippah-portable-raspberry-pi) ## Customize Design You can modify the original solids in the CAD files to make a custom project. ## Materials The parts can be printed in different types of filament. The most common filaments like PLA and ABS will do just fine but you can of course experiement with copperFill, bambooFill, Semiflex, PET and Nylon.  ## Tolerances The parts were tested with common printing settings (listed in the table). With a parameter of 2 shells, theres only a few areas where tolerances really matters - the port cutouts and the mounting holes. Test fit the parts by inserting the top enclosure part over the Raspberry Pi. Check to see if the cutouts fit over the USB and ethernet ports. If the cutout is too tight, you can loosen it with a filing tool. The standoffs with counter bores should fit the machine screws listed in the BOM. These can be threaded by fastening in the appropriate sized screw. ## Bed Leveling Any parts with large surface require a well leveled build plate. If you're using a heated bed, you can minimize warping. Blue painters tape, build tak, and sticky adhesives can help keep your part flat and adhere to the bed. ## Clean up If there's any string or artifacts left over from retraction and oozing, clean up the part by trimming them off using a pair of flush snips. # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Assembly ## Wiring First section of the assembly requires measuring wires, cutting, stripping, tinning and soldering. It's a good idea to connect the component and test the circuit before mounting anything to the enclosure. ## Testing With the components wired up, we'll test power to ensure all the connections are solid. We connect the display to the kippah and the Raspberry Pi to ensure the circuit is working properly before mounting. ## Mounting Once the components are wired up, you'll mount sections of the circuit to the enclosure using machine screws. This will keep everything secured in place. ## Process This assembly is segmented and formatted linearly to make the build an easy experience. Keeping the circuit modular allows you to trouble shoot more easily and makes mounting parts more optimal. # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Slide Switch ## Prep Wires Measure, cut and strip two pieces of 30AWG silicone-coated stranded wire. ![raspberry_pi_switch_prep_wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/967/medium640/raspberry_pi_switch_prep_wires.jpg?1434302188) ![raspberry_pi_switch_strip_wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/968/medium640/raspberry_pi_switch_strip_wires.jpg?1434302246) ## Tin Wires and Switch  Use a pair of helping third hands to secure wires/switch in place. Appy small amount of solder to the tips of the wires and the terminals on the slide switch. ![raspberry_pi_switch_tin_wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/969/medium640/raspberry_pi_switch_tin_wires.jpg?1434302372) ![raspberry_pi_switch_tin_leads.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/970/medium640/raspberry_pi_switch_tin_leads.jpg?1434302439) ## Connect Wires to Switch Solder both wires to two terminals on the slide switch (one in the center, and another next to that). Cut a piece of shrink tubing and slide that onto the wire to cover it up. Apply some heat to secure the connections.  ![raspberry_pi_switch_solder_wires.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/972/medium640/raspberry_pi_switch_solder_wires.jpg?1434302706) ![raspberry_pi_switch_shrinktube_add.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/973/medium640/raspberry_pi_switch_shrinktube_add.jpg?1434302745) ![raspberry_pi_switch_shrinktube_applied.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/974/medium640/raspberry_pi_switch_shrinktube_applied.jpg?1434302891) Info: ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/971/medium800/raspberry_pi_switch_done.jpg?1434302593) ## Slide Switch The slide switch is now ready for some action! Let's set it aside and get to the next section. # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Audio Cable ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/975/medium800/raspberry_pi_audio_cable_cut.jpg?1434303643) ## Measure and Cut Grab the right-angled stereo plug to pigtail cable and measure up the length you'll need. If you cut it too short, you can always extend by splicing with a longer wire. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/976/medium800/raspberry_pi_audio_cable_strip.jpg?1434303791) ## Strip It! You'll want to remove about 10mm of insultation from the audio cable. Use wire cutters or a hobby knife to strip the wire. Carefuly bundle the stranded wire and twist it together to make a uniform wire - this is the ground connection. ## Tin Wire Secure the audio cable to third-helping hands. Apply solder to the ground connection. Trim one of the insulated wires (red or white, doesn't matter these are the 'left' and 'right' channels). We only need one channel and the ground connection. Strip and tin the remaining wire. ![raspberry_pi_audio_cable_stripped.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/977/medium640/raspberry_pi_audio_cable_stripped.jpg?1434304517) ![raspberry_pi_audio_cable_tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/978/medium640/raspberry_pi_audio_cable_tin.jpg?1434304585) ## Extend Ground Trim off about half of the tinned ground connection (it's too long). Prep a new piece of AWG30 silicone-coated stranded wire by measuring, cutting and stripping. Solder it to the ground connection. ![raspberry_pi_audio_cable_trim.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/979/medium640/raspberry_pi_audio_cable_trim.jpg?1434304792) ![raspberry_pi_audio_gnd_ext.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/980/medium640/raspberry_pi_audio_gnd_ext.jpg?1434304840) ## Insulate Groud Slide a piece of shrink tubing over the ground connection and apply heat to secure the connection. Cut the ground wire to match the length of the channel wire and tin the tip. ![raspberry_pi_audio_gnd_shrinked.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/981/medium640/raspberry_pi_audio_gnd_shrinked.jpg?1434305057) ![raspberry_pi_audio_gnd_trim.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/982/medium640/raspberry_pi_audio_gnd_trim.jpg?1434305095) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/983/medium800/raspberry_pi_audio_cable_done.jpg?1434305186) ## Audio Cable This pigtail is ready for baking!  # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Amplifier ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/986/medium800/raspberry_pi_amp_wires_prep.jpg?1434305952) ## Prep Wires You can lay down the Powerboost 1000C and PAM8302 amplifier on the enclosure to get an idea for how long the power and ground wires need to be. Cut two pieces of 26AWG silicone-coated stranded wires. ## Tin Wires Strip the tips of both wire using wire strippers and secure the wires to third-helping hands. Apply a small amount of solder to tin the tips. ![raspberry_pi_amp_wires_strip.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/987/medium640/raspberry_pi_amp_wires_strip.jpg?1434306031) ![raspberry_pi_amp_wires_tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/988/medium640/raspberry_pi_amp_wires_tin.jpg?1434306162) ## Connect Wires to Amp Apply solder to the pins on the amplifier. To solder the wires to the pins, hold the tip of the soldering iron to the solder joint and insert the wire. ![raspberry_pi_amp_pins_tin.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/990/medium640/raspberry_pi_amp_pins_tin.jpg?1434306423) ![raspberry_pi_amp_wires_solder.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/991/medium640/raspberry_pi_amp_wires_solder.jpg?1434306493) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/992/medium800/raspberry_pi_amp_solder_cable.jpg?1434306665) ## Solder Audio Cable to Amp Connect the audio cable to the amp by heating **A+** and **A-**  pins with the tip of the soldering iron.

These clips will hold the TFT panel in place. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/026/medium800/raspberry_pi_display_fpc_macro.jpg?1434310636) ## Connect Extension to Display Pop open the latch from the 40-pin extension and insert the 40-pin cable from the display to the extension board, then close the latch to secure it in place. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/027/medium800/raspberry_pi_display_fpc_connector.jpg?1434310658) ## Connect 40-pin cable to Extension Open the latch from the other side of the extension and insert the extension cable connected to the Kippah into the extension board. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/028/medium800/raspberry_pi_battery_insert_jst.jpg?1434310858) ## Plug in Battery Connect the JST cable from the lipo battery to the JST connector on the PowerBoost 1000C. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/029/medium800/raspberry_pi_battery_installed.jpg?1434310936) ## Test Circuit It's a good idea to check your wiring before closing everything up! Power the circuit on with the slide switch and see if it lights ups.  # 5" Display Kippah Portable Raspberry Pi ## Closing it up ## Cable Management The wiring should be pretty tight, with the exception of the 40-pin FPC cable. You’ll need to fold this cable and make sure it stays inside the case while closing it up. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/030/medium800/raspberry_pi_case_side.jpg?1434311149) ## Ports Insert the ports on the Raspberry Pi into the cut outs on the top half of the enclosure. If you find the cutouts too tight, you can open them up with a filing tool. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/031/medium800/raspberry_pi_case_fasten_screw.jpg?1434311179) ## Fasten Shut Insert #2-56 3/8 flat phillips machine screws into the six counter bores on the bottom of the enclosure. Hold the two half together while fastening the screws. Fasten them in until you feel they’re completely joined. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/032/medium800/raspberry_pi_case_closed.jpg?1434311201) ## Closed Up The enclosure is now secured shut! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/033/medium800/raspberry_pi_hero_top_2.jpg?1434311227) ## Portable Kippah Pi This build is pretty much done! You can optionally insert a tripod screw thread to make it mount to any standard tripod. ## Tripod Adapter Insert the tripod screw into the hole and fasten it with a flat phillips screw driver. Fasten it in until the screw is flush with the surface of the enclosure. ![raspberry_pi_tripod_prep.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/034/medium640/raspberry_pi_tripod_prep.jpg?1434311977) ![raspberry_pi_tripod_fasten.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/035/medium640/raspberry_pi_tripod_fasten.jpg?1434312020) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/036/medium800/raspberry_pi_tripod_installed.jpg?1434312058) ## Mountable Pi This is screw thread is a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter for Tripods. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/051/medium800/raspberry_pi_hero_keyboard.jpg?1434385448) ## Use and Commence Pi Boot up the Pi and hook up your favorite keyboard.
