Description
This is a case for the Ikoka Stick (https://ndoo.sg/projects:amateur_radio:meshtastic:diy_devices:ikoka_stick#lithium-ion_battery_42v_charging_termination_optional) radio node device - using the 21700 battery. You need to add simple a switch circuit on the battery terminal in order to put the case together without the node being powered on (otherwise you'll fry the radio with no antenna). I just used conductive adhesive copper tape to connect the switch wires to either side of a piece of paper, that I fit in between the battery and the terminal connector - so get a switch inline with the power circuit - the switch is 3.5mm x 8.5mm - and is a tight press fit (no glue required)
