Powering on The B+ |
Here is a simple review on the casing, MC-RP002-CLR enclosure is pretty easy to use. It doesn't require a lot of work to install. The installation is available for download in the element14 page.
Cons:
- The B+ board doesn't sit tightly in the casing, it still have small room for the board to move around inside the casing.
- Don't ever drop the your B+ with the casing. Feels like it is going to break it you exert too much force.
Pros:
- You must install the rubber pad beneath your casing, it sits firmly on the desk and won't move around easily.
- Dust proof =)
That's it. Hope you enjoy this. Happy 2015!
