BeagleBone Black Wireless Enclosure

thingiverse

There just aren't enough things available for the BeagleBone Black Wireless specifically. I built this enclosure fairly quickly to support my BeagleBone Black Wireless and two additional external antennas purchased on Amazon to increase range, making the device more reasonable for use around the office or in the home. This project consists of two parts: a large taller enclosure and an antenna supporting lid. The larger enclosure is designed with a heat sync and/or an additional fan in mind that I may add later. To off-set heat, the enclosure is vented on the bottom and also features venting on the sides with BBBW text for added flair. The smaller antenna supporting lid has undergone two iterations after the initial design proved to be too heavy and prone to cracking under stress. The current version includes support circles around the antenna rings and additional struts connecting those supportive rings, resulting in a light yet strong design. To add-on to this project, I recommend checking out the following gear: https://www.newegg.com/p/2VT-006A-00003?item=9SIABP54HE7600&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googlemkp-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googlemkp-pc-_-pla-treadalt-tec-_-network+-+network+antennas-_-9SIABP54HE7600&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1Iiq-qDo6AIVQT0MCh2i2Q_uEAkYDyABEgIv4vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds and https://www.amazon.com/Antenna-Pigtail-Wireless-Routers-Repeater/dp/B07R21LN5P/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=2+x+2.4GHz+5GHz+Dual+Band+WiFi+RP-SMA+Antennas+RP-SMA+Female+Connector+%2B+2+x+U.FL+Mini+PCI+to+RP-SMA+Pigtail+Antenna+WiFi+Cable&qid=1586879056&sr=8-2
