Install Raspberry Pi¶

Step 1. Insert the SD card (with built-in system) into the Raspberry Pi's SD card slot.

Step 2.Slide to the right to open the back cover of the CrowPi 3 Raspberry Pi enclosure.

Step 3.Peel off the masking tape on the function adapter board and the camera signal adapter board.

Step 4.Insert the function adapter board into the Raspberry Pi's Micro HDMl port and Type-C port.

Step 5.Insert the camera signal adapter board into the outermost USB 2.0 port of the Raspberry Pi 5.

Step 6.Verticallyinstall the Raspberry Pi 5 with the inserted TF card into the Raspberry Pienclosure.

Step 7. Pace two 18650 batteries in the correct positive and negative direction.

Note:

1.The battery is not included in the Basic Kit. lf you need it,please purchaseit separately or opt for the Advanced Kit. 2.Users who do not need built-in batteries can skip this step.

Step 8. Close the cover.

FAQ:¶

1. Unable to boot Make sure you are using the correct charger and that the SD card is inserted into the Raspberry Pi.
2. The module or sensor on the PCBA board cannot be used Please set the controller board selection switch to the correct position. If connecting to Raspberry Pi 5, set it to position 1. If connecting to Arduino Nano and Pico, set it to position 2.
3. After setting up the circuit on the breadboard and not getting the expected output Please confirm whether the controller board selection switch has been switched to position 2.
4. The screen goes black and crashes Please check whether a high-current peripheral is mounted, causing an insufficient power supply.
5. Camera and microphone do not work Please confirm if the camera signal adapter board is fully connected.
6. Unable to connect to the network Please turn on the wireless network or connect to the Raspberry Pi Ethernet network port.
