Zigbee CC2530 Router Minimal Case

thingiverse

### Why?\r\nI wanted to create the smallest zigbee router possible. This is the result. I use this router to expand my zigbee network powered by zigbee2mqtt running as an addon on home assistant.\r\nSo most likely this is a thing that only a very small number of people will need or use.\r\n\r\n### Things you need:\r\n- cc2530 router (I used this one, others may not fit in my case https://de.aliexpress.com/item/CC2530-Zigbee-UART-Wireless-Core-Board-Development-Board-CC2530F256-Serial-Port-Wireless-Module-24MHz/32767470382.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4djdl9Qt)\r\n- c2102 https://de.aliexpress.com/item/Aluminum-Shell-CP2102-USB-2-0-to-TTL-UART-Module-5Pin-Serial-Converter-STC-Replace-FT232/32649877341.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d6sPRXy\r\n\r\n### Tutorials\r\nYou can follow this youtube video to flash your router (not from me)\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUzZD6bktNk\r\n\r\nAlso, this tutorial will help:\r\nhttps://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/wiki/Getting-started\r\n\r\n### Todo:\r\n1) desolder the pins from your zigbee router (to make it as flat as possible). Keep in mind that you will have to solder wires to your module if you want to reflash it in the future.\r\n2) desolder the pins from your c2102.\r\n3) glue the c2102 at the back of the router. It's essential to line it up as I did to fit the case. Maybe it's better to print the case beforehand and use it as a template while gluing it.\r\n4) connect the 3.3V pins and the GND pins of the two modules. Use a flat insulated wire. Don't short something out!\r\n5) Take the printed parts, put them in your device.\r\n6) You're finished\r\n\r\n### Printing:\r\nIMPORTANT case_p1.stl: rotate 60° y-axis, use brim and support IMPORTANT\r\ncase_p2.stl: rotate 180° y-axis, no brim, no support\r\n\r\n### Buy ready-to-use stick:\r\nIf you're interested in buying one of those or a cc2531 with an antenna mod, then have a look here: http://zigbee2mqtt.discourse.group/t/ad-buy-ready2use-zigbee2mqtt-stick-flashed-antenna-mod-and-printed-case/22
