Arduino Mega Touchscreen Case

thingiverse

I designed a camera slider (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3042730) using an arduino as control unit and created a simple sketch to go with it. While exploring the thingiverse, I stumbled upon https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2166008, which featured a sketch that really caught my attention - it had some fantastic features that perfectly suited my needs. Next, I needed to find a case for the arduino mega that included a touchscreen display and space for additional electronics, so I could keep everything compact. For power supply, I decided to use an 2S-lipo battery, which would allow me to mount the step-down converter and PCB underneath the arduino. To get started, you'll need to print out two parts: "boden" and "rahmen_unten". Once they're printed, just glue them together. Next, carefully mount the arduino in place with some screws - I used double-sided tape to secure the PCD on the other side. Two screws should do the trick for attaching the "deckel", but you might need to drill some holes into the "deckel_unten" for cables and whatnot. To keep everything secure, simply attach a velcro strip to the lipo battery - it's that easy!
