Case for RaspPi and TNC-Pi


 

Does anyone make a case tall enough to hold a RasPi and the TNC-Pi? All the ones I've seen are too short.

I would love to see varieties on this theme. ?

W4RFQ and I (ka2dew) are working on a housing that will hold the Raspberry PI plus 3 TNC-PI and a 12v power-pole input supply for the stack with backup power from an in-the-box 9v battery (diode switched). ?

The box will give external access to all but composite video and audio ports, though the HDMI video and SDcard are recessed. Ethernet, USB and TNC/radio connectors are flush to the housing. ?

I am guessing end of June and we will probably distribute a solid works file. ?

Take a look at Bud's "Pi Sandwich".? It's great for this application.? They are available in lots of different places, but here's a link to it at mouser:



NB:? It's not the round one, that's a Pi Plate.

I've seen designs for RPi cases made from Lego - a couple more layers of bricks should do the job.

RPI cases

Here's one that apparently has room for the TNC-PI.





Unfortunately most of these cases are plastic and not a nice RF
shielding metal...

I am using one of this for my RPi/TNC-Pi combo. It will need some modification but nothing a Dremel tool and cutting wheel can¡¯t handle.
