We then slipped the Raspberry Pi and Flick board into the bottom part of the case by first placing the USB connectors in. To help with this little task, we used a small screwdriver to tuck the top part of the feet inside the hole (being careful not to slice through the feet – derr): We then pushed and twisted each rubber foot through one of the four holes on the bottom of the case. Inside we found four rubber feet and four suction cups: This let us detach the top cover and take the case apart. Just remove the protective plastic bits, then gently pull out the two sides of the bottom part of the case to unhook the top… The Flick HAT Case is the perfect housing for the Flick HAT. Voila! If you’ve got the case, skip to the next bit where we’ll show you how to house your Flick HAT.įinally, screw-in the last four plastic bolts to hold your Flick Hat in place…Īnd now (drum roll please) your Flick HAT is all set to be used. Now fix the Flick HAT on top of the Raspberry Pi by gently pushing the female header onto the Raspberry Pi male header until it clicks into place. Now, with trembling hands, we remove the Flick HAT from its anti-static bag: Next we screw-in the spacers in like so (holding them in place with plastic bolts from beneath the Pi): OK, let’s start at the beginning (apparently it’s a very good place to start) by unpacking our Raspberry Pi. Take a peek inside the box and you should find: Or skip to the FAQ section if you are having troubles.įirst, let’s look at the Flick HAT board. We’ll then chat through some of the most common problems and questions.įor starters, follow the link to the board you’re interested in: We’re going to show you how to put each of these boards together and how to set them up in their cases. There are three flavors of Flick – HAT, Zero and Large. Right, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work. Flick achieves this conjuring trick by using technology which lets the PCB detect your gestures from up to 15cm away – in 3D space. If you’ve been living on planet Zog, we’d better explain – Flick boards are add on boards for the Raspberry Pi which bring 3D tracking and let you control your I2C enabled devices with the wave of a hand. Though you can buy us a flat white if ever we meet. So we thought we’d share our secrets, free of charge. And since it’s the neatest piece of kit ever invented, we know lots of you Out There would love to get on board (see what we did there?) with it. Mainly because we’ve done it, like, a zillion times. (No, really.) But we do know a thing or two about setting up Flick.
