Overall Exploded View

The assembly involves connecting the top and bottom panels, aligning mounting holes, and securing the enclosure with M2.5*4 countersunk screws. A detailed schematic shows the rear view of the assembled enclosure.

The process continues with attaching the OLED display to the mounting bracket using M2.5 nuts. The power button is installed by passing it through the mounting plate and securing it with a silver nut, noting its orientation. The Raspberry Pi and PoE HAT are then fixed using M2.5 nuts and M2.5*18 standoffs. The Raspberry Pi motherboard is not included.

Finally, M2.5*12 silver screws are used to secure the Raspberry Pi from the bottom of the mounting plate. The connection of the power button, OLED screen, and SD card adapter is shown in a diagram, with a note that the connection way is the only one.

The installation is completed by inserting the 5 installed modules and securing them with M4 thumbscrews.

Installation

1. Assemble the top and bottom panels. Ensure the mounting holes are aligned one by one.
2. A schematic shows the installed enclosure.
3. Use M2.5*4 screws to fix the enclosure. A rear schematic illustrates this step.
4. Use M2.5 nuts to fix the OLED display on the mounting bracket. This step can be ignored as it is pre-installed.
5. Install the power button: place the rubber washer on the switch, pass the switch through the hole on the mounting plate, and fix it with the silver nut. Note the orientation of the switch button. This step can also be ignored as it is pre-installed.
6. Fix the Raspberry Pi and PoE HAT with M2.5 nuts and M2.5*18 standoffs. The Raspberry Pi motherboard is not included.
7. Secure the Raspberry Pi from the bottom of the mounting plate using M2.5*12 silver screws.
8. Connect the power button, OLED screen, and SD card according to the provided diagram. The connection method is unique.
9. Insert the 5 installed modules and fix them with M4 thumbscrews. Installation is complete.

OLED Usage

After plugging in the OLED and powering up the Pi, run the following commands from the terminal:

Step 1: Enable I2C

1. Choose Interface Options > Enable i2c using sudo raspi-config.
2. Clone the U6143_ssd1306 library: git clone https://github.com/UCTRONICS/U6143_ssd1306.git

Step 2: Configure your OLED

Option 1: Add manual start script

1. Navigate to the C folder: cd U6143_ssd1306/C
2. Compile the program: sudo make clean && sudo make
3. Run the display: sudo ./display
4. Save and exit. Reboot to verify the screen functions on boot.

Option 2: Add automatic start script

To have the OLED run automatically on Raspberry Pi startup, add the following commands to /etc/rc.local:

1. Open the file: sudo nano /etc/rc.local
2. Add the following lines on a separate line before the exit 0 command:

cd /home/pi/U6143_ssd1306/C
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo ./display &

Save and exit. Reboot to verify the screen functions on boot.
