Simple din rail housing for Pi zero

hwhardsoft

Hi,

 

I want to introduce a new enclosure project for the Pi Zero. It's a new din rail housing and protoboard with integrated voltage regulator.

    Hi Edward, exactly as you say, 5 hours difference currently, it is 6pm here now, so sunshine for just under a couple more hours at this time of the year.

    Wow, that's dedication, watching the wedding live at that time : )

    I think that the UK is 5 or 6 hours ahead of the eastern US Coast (depends upon on whether (Daylight Savings is involved)) AAR I assume you are not subject to the Noon Day Sun,  right Now.  B/C I know of the Saying: "Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the Noon-Day Sun". You couldn't get me out there. Not even to see the Royal couple of William & Kate. My adult daughter is a different story, on the day of the W & K Wedding, she attend a Live Broadcast in New York City -proper (Manhattan) at about 2-3AM

    Hi Edward!

    I'm based in the (currently unusually hot) UK.

    Hi,

     

    we are using for the RasPiBox Zero the LM2675 circuit. It's a really good tested design from our older  'RaspPiBox Open Plus' kits....  The switching regulator isn't visible in the pictures above, because it is placed on the backside of the pcb. (In the actual 'RaspPiBox Open Plus' we are using the LM2576, because the LM2675 can not supply a Raspberry Pi 3).

     

    In the next week we will start the delivery of the first production batch. Actually we have a lot of pre orders for this kit.

    To Shabaz:  LM2576-5.0WU-TR is the only "flavor"? No variants? They can push 1Amp through this (surface-mount?) package? Does the RaspPiBox Open Plus even have a Solder-Pad on it's PCB for this surface-mount(?) VR IC (VR = Voltage Regulator). This VR IC has more "legs" than a centipede. Thx for your Post. Where is your Physical Location? Country will be sufficient. Knowing country of origin will help me tailor my comments. Not to mention the info is might be useful to the US's NSA. Only Kidding. Unless you are coming from a "bot" where your IP address is Spoof'd
