Raspberry Pi Lapdeck Wire Harness

In the Past post I showed you the parts you will need, So here are the Pictures of how I did it.

I got this piece...

 Then I cut off the mini male side of the cable, Leaving the female micro usb.



 Then I measured the case and 
how much cable I would need for this cable, 
and cut the excess off.
 

Soldering Time!
 Here is the Layout

Make sure to cut your heat shrink and put it BELOW where you are soldering, 
on the wire BEFORE you start soldering




 

So here is the pictures of me hooking it up to the lapdeck and booting a couple OS's







Here is the Final Product! 
This is my second time doing this, and in the future, 
I'll be ether making a case that snaps on 
or another type of cable management.

You will also need a Micro HDMI to Full HDMI

Depending on how you wire your pi, you will need a cable like this, to cut and solder together, like the Picture at the bottom on the page.

I am working on a few different designs. More to come.
