Raspberry Pi Test Stand

thingiverse

I created this project to be a customizable workbench for the Raspberry Pi 3. I recommend starting with just the Base and Feet, which will give you a sturdy stand for your Pi. One of the coolest features of the Pi is its programmable IO pins. In the Backbone section, I designed a pocket specifically for an 82 x 55 mm, 400-point breadboard, making it easy to interface devices. Moving forward, the next component is the Top plate. This offers support for the Raspberry Pi Camera with adjustable pan and tilt Servos, as well as a 7-inch LCD HDMI Display. The display I used is a standard 7-inch LCD display from eBay, priced under $30 USD. It features a built-in driver board with both HDMI and VGA inputs. If you're looking for a standalone display stand, check out this design on Thingiverse. The servos employed in this project are medium-sized (HS-422). Servo sizes vary widely; if you have different servos or prefer pan and tilt functionality, feel free to create your own custom design. I hope fellow Pi enthusiasts find this project as enjoyable and useful as I do.
