Project boxes for MySensor's nodes and gateway?

[mvdarend]

The Custom Enclosure Factory on AliExpress has some nice cases.

And for a ghetto option, I've got a few old Mentos chewing gum containers around the place :) (This one is stuck to the side of the Central heating unit with magnets.

i will make my own cases for my 25x50 boards with 2xAA....see => http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1901/my-own-board-50mm-x-24mm/18

My compact serialGateway with nrf201 long range , power indicator LED and USB cable connected to Pi.

@Dheeraj: Where did this case come from ? Was the board inside custom made or pro mini ?

[Dalhoj]

This is my gateway.

A Gateway and a node for a friend:

And the solar powered+LiPo water proof box:

I'm starting to think I'll need a 3D printer after all.... Any recommendations on which one to get?

What kind of box is that? Do you have a link where i can order these?

@NeverDie Ihave one of these and im very happy with it

[NeverDie]

Thanks. I looked into it this morning. I guess pre-built boxes are what's best for me. A simple black box like this or similar will probably do the job:

@GertSanders purchased it from ebay, yes inside it is mini pro and nrf radio module ..

[Yveaux]

@NeverDie They claim it's a waterproof box!
It has 2 big holes on the side :laughing:

I've got a few of these with 2xAAA, Arduino pro + radio + DS18b20 crammed into them

Vented Box

@mvdarend has my vote though... much cheaper and fun

Good find.

3x AA seems like magic number to aim for. It gets you 4.5v, so you can run directly from battery with no divider.

@koen01 these are the ones in the store part under "2pcs Project boxes"

Hello!

I ordered these boxes. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/small-plastic-project-box-electronics-LED-junction-housing-10-pcs-73-36-24mm-plastic-enclosure-for/32244686811.html

They have a nice design and are very small. I fit 2AA batteries, arduino pro mini and an nrf24 inside the box. It's a tight fit! you have to cut some plastic away from the battery holder and also remove the pins from the nrf module. But the result looks very professional. :)
Price is also very good!

So far I use them for door / window sensors.
