Thanks for confirming this! I ordered one myself but it hasn't arrived yet. There are multiple cables on the linked page, which differ mainly in how their connectors are oriented, but they all have the same narrow connectors. I got a reply from Flirc which reassured me that these cables really do fit, so I bought one, and it does. I have left a message about this on the Flirc site, and will post their response in due course. I am not really inclined to buy a cable 'on spec' without more reason to think it really is different. seem to stick out as much as) those on the cables I have, and the specs do not include connector width. (2482 Reviews) Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. (415 Reviews) FLIRC Flirc USB V2 - Use any Remote with your Media Center. The connectors on all the ones which have images look like (i.e. FLIRC Kodi Edition Raspberry Pi 4 FLIRC Case. I now see the FAQ entry, but the link points to a page with a table with multiple cables listed. I haven't tried it myself, if you do please let us know if it fits. There's a FAQ on the Flirc RPi 4 case page where question 9 specifically adresses the gpio ribbon cable issue: I haven't seen anything like this available. For a connector to work with the Flirc case, I think that it would need to be moulded on to the wire, with little or no overlap at the ends. Almost any 'filing down' will damage or destroy these clips, and the connector will then come apart and lose contact with the cable wires with minimal disturbance. The connectors I used then, and the ones that seem to have been used on the commercial ribbon cables I have now, come in two parts which are clamped together over the cable and held together by clips on both ends of the connector. I used to make my own ribbon hookups for IDE drives, since this allowed me to use the exact length of cable that fitted best for a given case/motherboard/drive location combination - improving both access and cooling.

You'll probably need to file it down to 52mm in order to have the cable fit to narrowest top part of the pillars, but this is not recommended as it will surely weaken the connector. After noticing the majority of customers using our Flirc USB with Raspberry Pi’s, we thought it would be great to bring to market a consumer grade quality Raspberry Pi Case. Well checking again the ribbon pin1-to-pin40 distance is about 51mm (again you may correct me on this) It may be a "stupid idea" but have you tried filing the sides of the ribbon connectors to reduce the overall length? In my measurement, the 40-pin ribbon connector's length is about 55.5mm (correct me on this), while the pillar to pillar widest distance is 53mm so definitely a 40-pin ribbon connector's 55.5mm will not fit. But it's hovering between 53☌-55☌ after 7 minutes now.I confirm this on the RPi3B+ version of the FLIRC case (just took mine from storage to verify pfletch101's concern) I thought that since the Pi4 runs so much hotter, active cooling was going to be required. Goes up to 54☌, cools to 53☌.Īmbient temperature of the room is 71☏ (21.1☌) I'm at 53☌ after 5 minutes and it's kind of hovering there. The Noctua was pretty close to the PI-Fan It would get as high as 57☌ and then cool back down to 54☌ and bounce around. Went up to 56☌ on occasion and the dropped back down to 54☌ With the PI-Fan, the CPU went up to 55☌ and kind of sat there. With the case alone, the temperature went up to 82☌ and then the CPU throttled down to 1 Ghz and the CPU cooled to 81☌, but then climbed to 82☌ again and throttled. PI4 in case with open sides and a Noctua NF-A4x10 5 V fan Pi4 in it's official case modded with a Pi-Fan I ran the stress test until the temperature evened out and stopped rising, not based on time. My FLIRC Pi 4B case came in today, so I decided to do a very unscientific stress test.
