    Preparation Pack up your Beagle Bone in this lovely clear plastic case. We designed this case to be the ideal enclosure, with plenty of elegant details to make it useful to you! There's plenty of space inside to add on one of our Beagle Bone Proto Capes with components or connectors soldered on.

  • Page 5 Assembly 1: Attach BeagleBone to Base Plate Insert 4 screws into the BeagleBone's corner mounting holes: Flip the board over, using fingers and thumb to hold the screws in place. If this is a dexterity challenge, the screws can also be held with tape: Slide a nylon spacer over each of the four screws.
  • Page 6 Slide the base plate over the screws, coming to rest on the spacers. There's a specific orientation for the base plate: one of the four alignment studs is smaller than the others — this should be positioned closest to the USB client port. Install four nuts and gently tighten each screw.
  • Page 7 Install the second side piece using the same technique, then repeat with the opposite end face plate, making sure the "up" orientation is the same. It's okay if the box isn't perfectly square at this stage. 3: Install Board in Case Loosen, but do not completely remove, the two screws on the fro nt face plate.
  • Page 8 Insert the BeagleBone base plate into the case by inserting the alignment studs into the back face, then pivot the board into place and press the front face flush. Now tip the face plate in the opposite direction and install the case top in a similar fashion. Align the hole in the top face with the reset button on the BeagleBone (once sealed, this is accessed with a paper clip or small screwdriver).
  • Page 9 Press the front face flush again and tighten all the screws. Acrylic is brittle, so don't crank these down too hard – finger pressure plus 1/8 turn is sufficient. Insert the microSD card (make sure it goes into the card slot, NOT loose in the case!). Bingo…you're done! ©...
