JB Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 So close.... BUT YET SO SO FAR... The final (or so I thought) items arrived today... the TIPI and the USB power cord to supply juice... but the two ribbon cables that go between the TIPI and RPi were not in the box. Where'd you get that Pi case? It is fantastic, and I would love one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Where'd you get that Pi case? It is fantastic, and I would love one. About that... That case was the result of putting the cart before the horse. It is a great little case, but not for TIPI use. You see the TIPI's connectors & wires are the issue. There is not enough height to pull it off. To use it for TIPI, you have to run it with the case off, which defeats the purpose. This metal case now serves as my KODI box. If you have your heart set on a similar design, there are numerous metal cases for sale on both Amazon and Ebay. In the end, I found the best solution was one custom made just for use with TIPI & TI-99/4A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 My Tipi is in a P-box, actually. I just love the look of that case, and could easily see a standalone Pi in it. Not that I'd be above using a Dremel to add a cable slot if it came to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'd be above using a Dremel to add a cable slot if it came to that. The supplied cables are too short to effectively use an external RPi box with the P-Box TIPI, which is why I ended up getting a dedicated RPi for my P-Box unit. I seem to recall something about additional length cable might affect operation. You might want to verify this as my memory is not what is used to be.

Yes i tried longer cables and there seems to be issues. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
