Here is an example I forgot for Raspberry Pi they are called "hats"
I would try this and get a set of "wire ferrules" and a crimping tool. I went about a year of trying to use screw terminals without ferrules and it is really a waste of time.
Hello,
I need cooling advice (the advice in FAQ was insufficient.) I am building a raspberry pi 4 and a couple arduino Nanos to run an instrument cluster in my car. It's an old car, so it isn't too demanding. However, I'll still be running my main program through a Unix os and having visuals on an 9" screen. I plan on using c++ for everything.
The car runs on 12v, so do all the sensors and lights. I plan on using a bunch of relays and/or logic controllers to switch the power from the 3.3v of the pi4 to the 12v the car runs on. I also plan on using this breakout board (link below) to land my wires on.
I spaced and forgot cooling, though. I'd like to put small heatsinks on the pi under the breakout board if possible and run a fan through the case containing all my components. Will this be sufficient, or does the pi need a dedicated fan? Can I get away with not using a fan at all? Thanks in advance
