10. Adding the IQaudio sound card to your Raspberry Pi

WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE ALL POWER CABLES ARE DISCONNECTED FROM THE

RASPBERRY PI BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS PROCEDURE.

The IQaudio range of sound cards attach to the Raspberry

Pi’s 2x20 way pin header (GPIO header).

They are designed to be supported on the Pi using the supplied PCB standoffs and screws. In

general no soldering is required to the IQaudio boards for normal operation.

The IQaudio range of boards are normally supplied with the necessary mounting hardware (PCB

spacers and screws), these are for our latest low profile boards 4x 9mm PCB spacers and 8x M2.5

screws. If additional parts (such as 2piece speaker connectors) are required these are normally

provided too.

The PCB spacers should be screwed (finger tight only) to the Raspberry Pi before adding the IQaudio

board.
