Hi Steven, here from Core Electronics, in this video I'm going to show you how to assemble your VESA Mount for the Raspberry Pi.

The Visa Mount allows you to Mount any Raspberry Pi model B, A or 0 onto the back of any Visa compatible television or display or computer monitor and it's also compatible with any of our Slim Cases.

So, the Visa Mount comes with a single Acrylic panel, its will be covered in protective paper and a little bag of parts that include spacers and hardware and rubber feet to attach your board. So the first step that we are going to take is removing the paper from the Visa Mount using the paper peeler that comes in the kit, this helps you get the paper started and save your fingernails and not scratch the board we're just going to peel the paper away so you'll notice once you get the layer off the back that there's going to be some stubborn pieces in the letters and writing on the board we're just going to take the edge of our paper peeler and drag them across the letters and that will get those last stubborn pieces of paper without scratching the Acrylic. It may make some smudges that you'll need to wipe away either just rub those away with your finger or use a dry lint-free cloth, to get those don't ever clean acrylic with any sort of detergent or isopropyl alcohol as it will it'll weaken the material.

So, there we have it, we have our Visa Mount ready to go. The first step is to take our rubber feet and adhere them to the back, I like to put them just inside of each of the small diameter holes, the Visa Mount fits both 75 millimeter and 100-millimeter square Visa Mounts. Next we're going to attach our Raspberry Pi, so each board that you choose it has a layout for where they would fit on the board itself, underneath each of the underneath each of the bolts who are going to put a spacer, so there's two different types of spacers included in the kit there's spacers for the Mounts for the TV the VESA Mounts themselves, their thumb screws and then there's spacers for the bolts that hold the Raspberry Pi. So under each of the each of the four bolt holes for the Pi, just removing the Centers that might have been left in the spacers, I'm going to break off the spacers from the little holder put them in place, you can peel the paper off these two if you like and I'll feed in my nylon screws they'll hold the board in place.

Holding the nut from the bottom, I will then screw the nylon screw into the nut on the bottom, there's no need to make these very tight just snug is all you need. Now our board is firmly attached notice that the HDMI port points down, in comparison to the writing. It's better to have the port and the power going down and stead up but you know every television or display is different, so just put them in which way is most suitable for your application the nylon bolts will stick out beyond the bottom of the board a little bit. So if you have some flush cut pliers this would be you could trim those off or you could always come up from the bottom with the nylon bolts so the excess sticks out at the top so that it Visa plate will continue to sit on its rubber feet it's really up to you there and finally we'll Mount this on our display using the thumb screws included one at each corner or just two if you like and there's spacers in the kit as well and these will allow you to Mount those thumb screws if you need a little bit more clearance.

There you have it the Visa Mount for the Raspberry Pi, now you're ready to stick this on the back of a monitor or display and get your media center running. There's one other thing that we can do with the Visa Mount and that is it is compatible with any Slim Case that we make for a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ 0 or A+ and the Visa plates just a direct replacement for the back panel, so the board will fit right in place in the case so it's still protected so I have an A+ case here that I've taken the bottom panel of the case off, the A+ just sits in place on the Visa Mount you can take those same nuts that come with the Visa with the Slim Case put them in place through the Visa Mount and there you have it you have your Pi in its case Mounted on to the Visa Mount to keep it safe from fingers or stray wires and still hold it onto the back of your monitor.

That sums up how to assemble the Visa Mount for the Raspberry Pi, thanks for watching.
