Intro
In this episode of the waterproof connectors experimenting challenge I am building the computer and display at the top of the pole. The chassis allows the system to be handled without touching the circuit card.
I had to design a chassis for the LattePanda because the metal heatsink case I ordered has not arrived. The 3D printed parts took about 10 hours to print.
Design & Build Video
Here is s video showing how it was designed and built:
Discussion
Fortunately, everything printed nicely and everything fit well.
It is tough to video detail on something this size - even fitting it on the bench is an exercise.
I used this blog as an opportunity to experiment with some new video software. (OBS)
The build is close to complete, which is fortunate because the experimenting deadline is only a couple of days away.
I am including the 3D print files in case anyone else wants to mount a LattePanda on a hockey stick.
Next Steps
- Obtain a mini HDMI cable
- Connect a battery
- Perform some water tests
