Thing-a-Week #3: Arduino Case


This weeks thang is here! It's a case for your Arduino.


This is the first version of modular rackmountable stackable case system for Arduino and other electronics. If there is sufficient interest, after debugging the initial version I will look into getting injection molded parts made in bulk.


The cases are designed to fit 6 across in a 1U Rack, or 4 across turned the other way. So you can stack 2 longs-ways on top of 3 short-ways.


There should be room for an Arduino shield, and the space in the front of the case is for a circuit board with your alphanumeric LEDs. The end piece with a cutout is designed to hold a 3mm thick plate you can laser or hacksaw out of acrylic, wood or whatever.

Download and Enjoy.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.



As always, weekly things can be found here.

Cool! Looks nice. I don't have any experience with arduinos but I know they are super popular. You gotta get this thing out there!
