I want to add LCD shield for N6. I checked the PIN map between N6 and LCD shield. SPI pins, 3.3V and ground seems to be a good match. But I’m not sure if the LCD shield physical dimension fit to both far left and far right sides on the N6.
Buy the newer shield: Touch LCD Shield – OpenMV
If you want to use the older one, make sure to put the 3D printed case on: Free CAD Designs, Files & 3D Models | The GrabCAD Community Library
Without the case there’s a risk of shorts due to the dual header rows.
Thanks for the update! I’m a Kickstarter backer and love the progress you’ve made on these AI camera gadgets.
Would you be able to share the STEP file for the 3D-printed case so I can modify it?
I bought this for my son’s LEGO RoboCup project. We’re currently struggling with:
-
Mounting it to LEGO (either drilling holes or adapting it in Fusion 360)
-
Connecting an external power supply
Having an official mounting kit or integrated power option available on your site would be a huge help. You could add more value to your product rather than selling a board like Apple I. Customer like us would love to pay you for a ready-to-use product out of the box rather than a board.
Hi, I’ll get the STEP file posted for the LCD case. As for an external battery supply, buy this:
It allows you to power the camera with a 6-36V supply. In fact, any of the new shields have this 6-36V option to power the camera.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think the default case is printable given the limitations of the 3D printer.
- You can’t print pinholes like that—it’s a pure designer pipe dream.
- The two buttons on top is a pure joke – how would you press???
Give it a try, but we don’t live in a simulation.
@Ricky - You literally flip it over when printing. What you see in the picture is the bottom.
We’ve had users who’ve printed the case successfully. I’ve printed many of these and they work fine. The buttons are fully functional.
Note the community guidelines, you just violated them. The next reply will be a ban with a tone like that.
The case will print successfully without needing any supports on any 3D printer. I used the bambo printer to print these.
My apology for my rudeness. The grabcad rendering tool makes me believe this won’t work. I imported the STEP files into Fusion360. I see what you did. Thanks for sharing.
See the battery guide: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0803/9211/files/Battery_Guide_-_500mA_Charging.pdf?v=1753329138
Note the polarity of the battery, ones on amazon might be reversed.
Good catch. I only checked it is JST 2.0mm and forgot to check the polarity. Thanks for those helpful info.
