How I ruin my Khadas Tone board along with VIMs Board

Today I was arranging one sample to my client, he asked me better to make along with the heatsink together with Khadas VIM1 Basic and Tone Board. He told me he has a kid at home, better to have a cover for Tone board if it can be. Let me think…
Finally do some testing and adjusting, some amazing happened! What a good looking assembling!

  1. Make Heatsink on VIM board firstly.
    Cover the Square silicone sheet on the CPU+eMMC+DDR, the down line of silicone sheet shall be not below the edge of eMMC. Then make the heatsink bring into the hole of VIM boards. Then put the combination aside.

Thanks,
Some long threaded rod would do the trick then you could space it out with TV tuner and Tone board
all in one unit easy

Have to say I like the purple one kinda like bling. Hmmm connectors 3 on one 2 on Robert’s think I got to try one of these tone boards.

Yes the Purple add that bling :wink:

A little more tinkering and all 3 are living happily ever after

Some Brass Rod found on ebay was the solution
