Case for RPI-ic880a Gateways for laser cutters

We have built two experimental LoRaWAN gateways based on the iC880A concentrator board and controlled by a Rapsberry PI 3. Detailed description about cabling and software installation can be found [here](https://github.com/ttn-zh/ic880a-gateway/wiki TTN Zurich tutorial).

However we chose not to use a ready made case but design laser cut case.

BOM

For the case

• Sheet of 3mm acrylic glass
• 24 M3X12 screws and corresponding nuts (to assemble the case)
• 4 M2.5 distance bolts (approx. 8mm female/male) with corresponding screws and nuts (to mount Raspberry PI)
• 4 M3 distance bolts (approx. 8mm female/male) with corresponding screws and nuts (to mount iC880A concentrator board)
• 3 suction cups with M4X11 screw and corresponding nuts

Also needed for the gateway - please refer to the TTN Zurich description linked above

• Raspberry PI 3
• IC880a LoRaWAN concentrator board
• Antenna pigtail
• Antenna
• Jumper wired (female/female)

Features

• Uses suction cups to mount the gateway to a windows
• Offers access to USB power connection and network port
• Using tranparent or white acrylic glas

Shortcomings

• The case is not water proof and cannot be used outdoors
• The case is designed for jumper wire cabling and will not fit one of the available connector pcbs
