Differences of the remix compared to the original
This is a customized 3D model of an enclosure designed for the Heltec LoRa32 V3 board.
The original design was created by slabua, and this remix adds several important improvements:
- Enlarged GPS antenna slot to fit a larger GPS antenna.
- Relocated lid mounts to provide space for a pigtail connector without obstruction.
- Added cutout for a vibration motor, allowing optional haptic feedback integration.
- Integrated belt clip mount, making it easier to attach the device to your belt or strap.
Printing Recommendations:
- Use adaptive layer heights (up to 0.2mm max) for optimal surface quality and faster print times.
- Tree supports recommended for clean and easy support removal.
Components:
- Heltec LoRa32 V3
- NEO-6M GPS Module NEO6MV2
- SMA Female to IPX UFL/IPX Extension Cable
- GY-BME280 (3.3v)
- 3.7V 974058 3000mAh Lipo Polymer Lithium Battery
- EC11 rotary encoder
- Mini Vibration Motor DC 3V
- Active buzzer 3V
- HY-4P (for M5Stack CardKB Keyboard)
- Antenna (in my case 433MHz soft antenna)
Wiring:
Encoder A - Heltec 5
Encoder G - Heltec GND
Encoder B - Heltec 6
Encoder Sw1 - Heltec 7
Encoder Sw2 - Heltec GND
Buzzer (+) - Heltec 45
Buzzer (-) - Heltec GND
Vibro (+) - Heltec 40
Vibro (-) - Heltec GND
GPS VCC - Heltec 3V3
GPS RX - Heltec 48
GPS TX - Heltec 47
GPS GND - Heltec GND
BME280 VCC - Heltec 3V3
BME280 GND - Heltec GND
BME280 SCL - Heltec 42
BME280 SDA - Heltec 41
HY-4P Black - Heltec GND
HY-4P Red - Heltec 3V3
HY-4P Yellow - Heltec 41
HY-4P White - Heltec 42
It is possible to use a 2N2222 NPN Transistor to enable/disable the GPS module.In that case, the GPS connection needs to be modified as follows:
GPS VCC - Heltec 3V3
GPS RX - Heltec 48
GPS TX - Heltec 47
GPS GND - 2N2222 C
2N2222 B - Heltec 46
2N2222 E - Heltec GND
Assembly Hardware:
- 3 x M3x5mm screws for securing modules inside the case.
- 2 x 2x8mm self-tapping screws.
- 1 x M3x15mm screw for the belt clip.
- 1 x M3x8mm screw and 1 x M3x15mm screw for assembling the enclosure.
- 6 x M3x6mm heat-set inserts for reinforced threaded mounting points.
