Powering Up My Shari PiHatU

 

?Hi All¡­.
Just pixked this goodie up at the regional hamfester in NH earlier this month. I lnow little about it but found some documentation on the web site. I seem to have missed where I plug in the power supply to power it up.
Can someone please tell me where do I plug in the microusb cable? There are three connectors on the side of the case. I sure don't want to use the wrong one.

The power supply plugs into the side of the Raspberry Pi. Which model Pi do you have??
 

It sounds like you have the Pi4. If so, two of those three connectors are micro HDMI ports. The one nearest the end is a USB-C power port.

The power plug is the micro USB next to the HDMI port on the PI 1, 2, and 3s.

I am not sure which model Pi is in there. ?The ports look like the photo that KU5J posted. ?I thought the two ports to the right of the USC-C port were Micro USB ports but apparently they are Micro HDMI ports. ? Thank you for your response,.
 

Now a new problem¡­..
I removed the cover to look inside to see what model Pi is in there and a small part fell ?out. It is a small piece of black plastic with a slot in it, probably a spacer of some kind. ?I would like to know where it goes so I can replace the cover. ?
TIA,

This is the part to which I refer¡­. ?It just fell out when I removed the cover.

You have a SHARI PiHat in the Neo case.

It uses a Pi4 so power is connected as shown in a previous post .? As shown in the photos on the web site, the piece in your photo is a LED light shield.? It slides between the green SMT LED and the yellow SMT LED (LED1 and LED2) so the colors do not bleed between them.
?
Also note in the photo, at the bottom left just above the word SHARI is a U and a V.? The one with the solder blob next to it indicates if your unit is UHF or VHF.

Mike,

Thst goes on the hat board between the leds. It¡¯s a light shield so when you look at it he leds from outside there is no light bleed over. ?I believe that is not used anymore. ?Looks like you have a pi 4 Shari pi hat
