Add a Waveshare RPi IR-CUT Camera & Tripod mount to your ProtoStax Enclosure with this Extension Kit.

The kit comes with a Top Plate with mounting holes and cutouts for the Waveshare RPi IR-CUT Camera (or Waveshare RPi IR-CUT Camera (B)) along with Side Plate(s) with #1/4-20 mounting holes to attach to a tripod. Simply replace the existing pieces of your ProtoStax Enclosure with the ones from this kit.

Works with any ProtoStax Enclosure for Raspberry Pi(B+/4B/A+/Zero). Shown with ProtoStax Enclosure for Raspberry Pi A+ in the images above.

[Note: to use the camera with Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero W / Zero WH, you need to buy a camera cable suitable for the Raspberry Pi Zero, such as: Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 Camera Cable]

The Top Plate has a cutout for a cable to toggle the Normal/Night-Vision mode, which you can easily then control via a GPIO of your Raspberry Pi.

Note: This Kit works with the RPi IR-CUT Camera(B) as well, but beware that it is NOT easy to mount, as the RPi IR-CUT Camera(B) has a much larger lens that gets in the way of the mounting holes. For this camera, it would be easier for you to assemble the camera and IR lights first (as you would normally with this camera), and then use double-sided tape to attach it to the Top Plate of the ProtoStax Camera Kit for Waveshare RPi IR-CUT Camera.

The example photos in the images above show the Night-Vision mode in action in low-light conditions. The night-vision mode was triggered using a GPIO pin using Python. You can also select the mode (normal vs. night-vision) in your boot config, in which case you don't need the GPIO or cable.

ProtoStax Enclosures are Stackable, Modular & Extensible

They ease your path from Prototype to Product! Make your prototypes useable and attractive with ProtoStax!

Modular

Use it as a prototyping plate, with full and open access to your device while prototyping. Rubber feet protect your board and your table top!
Omit the side walls and just add the top for an open configuration with more airflow and open access.
Add side walls and the top to form a fully enclosed case for maximum protection.
The cases offer connectivity to external systems using our unique cable management methods (see features above)

Extensible

Extension kits and Add-Ons allow you to add functionality to your enclosure. Add a fan or two, switches, camera & tripod mount, and more!

Just filter by "extension kit" or "add-on" in the main shopping page to view the choices, or click below!

Stackable

All ProtoStax cases are compatible with each other and can be stacked side-by-side (horizontally) or one on top of the other (vertically). Mix-and-match multiple ProtoStax cases and put together a larger enclosure from the individual ones! Our Raspberry Pi + Breadboard, or Raspberry Pi + Arduino enclosures are popular bundles. You can also mix-and-match various Raspberry Pi enclosures (A+, B/B+, Zero enclosures to build your hybrid cluster with whatever Pis you have lying around!)

Great kits, but could use some instructions.

The kits I got for my Raspberry Pi Zero and Waveshare RPi IR-CUT Camera have been great so far. They've turned my Pi Zero into a great looking camera. However, I had to disassemble the kit at various stages because they arrived with a lack of instructions, so through trial and error, I figured out the order everything was supposed to be assembled. This wound up roughly doubling the assembly time. The case is great, but some instructions wouldn't hurt.

Thank you for the review and feedback! 😊🙏 We do have a fair bit of instructional docs and videos online, and so do not include them with the enclosure itself. The packing slip has the link to the user manual (and also QR code for the link) . However, this may not be seen by some people, so we'll keep this in mind and perhaps include a card insert within the enclosure so users are aware of the online help. We're glad you were able to figure everything out and sorry you had to do some trial and error.
