At this point I have:
1. Added rubber feet to the corners of the stand (other side of the part on the hinges.
2. Attached stand to case body.
3. Connected the display connector ribbon to both the display driver and the Raspberry Pi. I used the one that came with the touch display. I should have used the one that came with the SmartiPi case because it was longer and would have been easier.
4. Mounted the Raspberry Pi to the display case. the instructions state I could either use the screws to mount the Raspberry Pi or I could use the hinge cover (bottom of picture). The cover has plastic that is sized to touch the Raspberry Pi when closed so I choose that option.
5. Screwed the case back to the display. Note that one of the screws will be covered by the cover and any HAT so I tightened this now.
This is my second attempt at hardware hacking on my Pi. Instead of one LED there are now three and I've set up a script to make them flash in order.
MDF needs priming before painting, or else the paint will simply soak into the panels and not give a good finish. This is the first of two coats. I primered everywhere that was going to have something applied over it. The inside floor of the cabinet was primered so that things could be stuck to it.
To allow for extra controllers and a keyboard for configuration, I fitted this USB hub which is designed to be wither standalone or fit in a 3.5" floppy bay on a PC. It's held in place using aluminium angle.
