Thread: Project box fer th Lynx(or other) boards

Tweet

Attention on deck ye scallywags!! I realized tha' th' Lynx (or wotever board ya chose) be needin' a proper enclosure fer it, an' be proper, I be meanin' one free or cheap.. like these 'ere:

http://www.polycase.com/shop-by/application/wall-mount-flanged.html

I 'ave ordered 'couple boxes from this place, fer me other projects an' th' nice thing 'bout these swabs is if ye be needin' jus one, or even two, ya ken probably get'em fer free.. tha be right, so tuck away yer dubloons an' pieces o' eight, check this place.. 'ere be th' "free sample" page..

http://www.polycase.com/article/plastic-enclosure-sample.html measure yer Lynx board (2 1/8" x 3"), add a lil more breathin' room (tha' be 'nother 1/2" or so around ta' th' likes'a you), read thru th' sample webpage info, call'em, an' see if'n they ken send ya a "sample" case tha' th Lynx will fit inta... Be sure ta specify ye be needin PCB bosses in th' box, paid or sample... even a paid box be pirate cheap.. a 3"x4" box be less'an $4.. Buy one an ye still be 'avin lotsa dubloons ta stow init..

Me recommendation fer a paid or sample box size:

th' Lynx board be 2 1/8" x 3", so anythin' 3"x4" or bigger be peachy.. ya could go with an electrical box, with an electrical box (outlet-type) faceplate ta dress it up an make it oll fancy, 'igh-fal-uttin' an well-ta-do, or go with one o' these guys paid or free sample boxes (don' forget ta specify ye needin' PCB bosses)

question captain PCB=?

PCB = printed circuit board
PCB bosses = standoff's fer th' mountin' screws
