Pin header for PI Zero W install

Hi guys,

Been searching for a while trying to find where I could source these long pin headers here in Australia.

Does anyone know...or a supplier overseas that won't charge a ridiculous amount for shipping?

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

I've been struggling to find an in stock and reasonably priced source in the US as well.

FWIW, the latest firmware release for the Einsey has not enabled this functionality yet.

Thanks mate.

I'm not expecting my MK3 until mid January so am just getting things ready.

Hopefully someone will find a good source for these headers...I'm having no luck at all.

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

Hello, can you tell me why you need a pin header with long pins?
At the moment i don´t understand it?
Till now i attached at least 15 Pi´s to different bords or self soldered stuff.
For that, i nearly always used standard pin headers (m/f).
I only know the long ones as shield stacking headers.
In my opinion theres no need to stack anything else to the Pi zero when it is attached to einsy.
But i always appreciate any new information.

Wer freundlich fragt bekommt auch eine freundliche Antwort.

My guess is so that you can still mount something on the front of the pi zero like a heat sink. This goes face towards the einsy board. If it was backwards, this could totally be mounted with the smaller pins.

I was able to find 19mm header pins on amazon for $6.50 I have plenty extra since it was for like 40 of them.

I also just found some on Ebay.

10 strips of double row 40 pin for just over $4 Aussie delivered.

Coming from China but should be here just before the MK3 shows up.

Length?

2.54mm? Not 2mm?

Link?

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

Your pin header shows pins GPIO 3 and GPIO 4. When viewing the board that Prusa showed with the Raspberry Pi Zero W attached, they used pins GPIO 8 and GPIO 4.

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

Has anything one from Germany found a source for 18mm long „Stiftleisten“?

I found these, but shipping costs are insane.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.de%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F130828461545

And double row would be nicer. But Not strictly necessary of course

I found this one, 17,7 mm in lengtht:

I ordered more than I need, if you pm me your email (can't reply to forum messages yet) and if they work out I can send you some

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

I think I'm blind, I can't find any other reference to that original picture. Is there an STL of the pi zero spacer?

The STL for the spacer is available in the Github repro.

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

hi,
wiped up this in F360 to connect it on the outside.
Then i notice that there is a bracket for the inside 😯

but i want it on the outside because i want to be able to switch the pi and sdcard access.

plan is to solder the male pins to the rambo board and attach the pi on the outside.

when all models are final i can provide the stl files if any is interested

I'd like it on the outside too, for card access and for attaching a webcam via USB.

A 2x7 bottom entry header is already soldered to the Einsy board, so clipping three vent dividers should provide pin access. I already have an "official" Pi Zero case with an opening in the back for the 40 pin header:

Now I just need long pin headers...

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

Ron, that looks like a neat solution.

Please post the stl files - I'd like to use that when I get my printer.

Thx.

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

these are also long

But I also like the idea making the Pi zero plugable, so it can still be removed easily

Re: Pin header for PI Zero W install

Could anyone (preferably Josef) confirm if soldering six pins only only is really necessary? I would actually prefer to solder a 7x2 header, for when I need to temporarily reuse the rpi0w for something else.

Yes, if you solder all of the pins you will certainly damage the Pi and very possibly the Einsy as well. The schematics for the Einsy are available on github, and they show that the 24V rail is connected to that header. There is also a ground on the pi that lines up with an SPI line and a few other signals that are likely to feed 5V to the Pi.
