VE7GOY/VE7KGV Raspberry Pi 7 inch display Case

thingiverse

This is a project I designed with VE7KGV to allow us to mount a Raspberry Pi, 7 inch LCD and a Raspberry Pi Hat all in one case. Its intended purpose is to enable us to mount a DRAWS hat (http://nwdigitalradio.com/draws/) or a TNC along with a raspberry pi and LCD in a case for portable HAM radio use but it could be used for anything that benefits from a second pi hat or as just a nice compact LCD case. There's a cutout on the Raspberry Pi side to allow access to power, HDMI and speaker output ports. The cutout on the HAT side is designed to allow access depending on the HAT. The DRAWS hat from NW Digital Radio has radio connections on that side. The case is meant to enable using a buck converter so that 12 volts can be used as input voltage. The buck converter I designed it to use is the Pololu 5v 5A Step-Down voltage regulator (https://www.pololu.com/product/2851). The case has also been designed to allow users of Anderson Powerpoles. If you choose to add those, then you will need to print 2 of these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1205771. Finally, the case back has been designed to enable mounting a RAM mount so that the whole thing could be mounted in a vehicle but it also functions as a great stand. You can find the particular RAM mount here: https://www.amazon.ca/Mount-1-31-Inch-Diamond-1-Inch-Black/dp/B002KO5XVU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1548691112&sr=8-3&keywords=ram+ball
