1. Overview
PiFace™ Control & Display is a plug and play device that allows you to use
and control your Raspberry Pi without a keyboard, mouse and monitor. It
saves space and power by removing the need for a monitor whilst still
providing a simple, yet capable interactive user interface. PiFace™
Control & Display is ideal for applications such as internet radio,
streaming media, XBMC and many more.
PiFace CAD allows you to unshackle your RaspberryPi from the constraints
of the monitor and facilitates interaction with its onboard buttons and IR
remote transceiver. To use PiFace Control and Display, you will need to
follow the simple steps contained in this guide.
2. Fitting the PiFace Control & Display
PiFace Control and Display sits on top of the Raspberry Pi and connects
using the expansion connector (GPIO).
 First make sure your RaspberryPi’s power is disconnected.
 Take care to ensure all the RaspberryPi expansion pins are lined up
with the holes on the PiFace Control and Display socket.
 Check the alignment for left, right and back and never force the
boards together if they don’t slide smoothly.
