Moving the Pi


 

Hi guys!
I'm evaluating a case for my sBitx v3, and I got the (probably bad) idea of using an aluminum enclosure for the motherboard while moving the Raspberry and display outside that box, in a 3D printed enclosure to be fixed to the aluminum box.
Do you think that a 20cm extension of the GPIO port would work or may it be a source of noise and disaster?
Waiting for your thoughts!

That¡¯s a good question, I¡¯m interested in that idea too if extending gpio for a different reason - fitting a PI 5 externally where I can heat sink it.?


 

I ordered a 20cm 40-pin extension cable. I'll keep you posted!


 

Looking forward to hearing about your experience!

Just a quick update: it seems to work perfectly with the 20cm extension cable. More soon!
