Description
This is a basic enclosure to house the Meshnology W10 LoRa AIoT development board plus the screen that it comes with. I bought one of these kits on Amazon and couldn't find that anyone had designed a case for it yet, so I did.
This is designed so you can press the user and reset buttons. This makes it so you can put it into flash mode without having to take the board out of the case. I did not include the ability to press the power button because the space constraint was kind of challenging and I couldn't think of a good reason that I would ever need to press that one anyway. Let me know if you want me to add the ability to push the power button and I'll see what I can do.
Please note that this case does not include space for a battery. I'm not using a battery in my application, so I didn't include that in the design.
You'll see in one of the photos that it has Meshtastic running on it, but in fact this board isn't officially supported by Meshtastic (as of the time of this writing, at least). I managed to get it running on the W10 after making several code changes and building the project from source.
Printing and assembly notes:
I printed with 0.2mm layer height, 20% gyroid infill, in PLA. I'm sure PETG would work fine. You may need to print supports in the 4 screw holes on the case back (I did).
The case back is designed with a little notch so that it will only fit one way, because the spacing for the screw holes isn't quite symmetrical on both sides, but it's close. Rather than risk accidentally getting the orientation wrong, I included the little notch so the correct orientation is obvious.
Requires 4 M3 x 8mm (or longer) socket cap head screws to fasten the case back to the main case.
Slide the W10 board into the antenna jack holes first, then drop it down into the case to rest on the four standoffs.
