My Ethernet Gateway with custom case.

[jribera]

Hi All,

Thought i would share my Ethernet Gateway in a custom case.

The board is a itead iboard http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im120410001.html since i mounted this one in a case no modifications were needed to the board to connect the radio module.

The case is actually a modified HP MSM320 wireless access point http://www.zdtronic.com/images/MSM325.jpg which i cut down and sprayed black. As luck would have it the Ethernet + Power line up perfectly with the existing holes. There were even 3 existing holes which i simply had to drill out to for the larger LEDs.

So far i have tried the serial gateway based on a Nano & a Ethernet Gateway with a ENC28J60 and this is by far the most reliable solution.

Nice indeed.

Thanks for the feedback !

Forgot to mention if your from Australia and looking for relatively cheap local itead supplier i can recommend http://www.monkeyboard.org/shop/

Prices are more expensive but they can deliver in 1-2 days.

Nice project. I am am interested in two things:

• I want to use the same board. Can you tell what modifications you did to the gateway software to get this working. I guess you are using the analog inputs on the board configured as digital outputs to drive the leds.
• The case is nice, but it is on sale for $270 (with a HP wireless access point inside).. How did you get the case?

All the info is here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/224/iboard-cheap-single-board-ethernet-arduino-with-radio/3

There are enough digital pins to drive the 3 leds.

As for the case i just happened to have a box of them from an old wireless upgrade project. at work. Maybe check ebay for some non working/old ones ?
