Pi Enclosures Suitable For MacArthur Hat
#1
Hi all
While I wait for the new MacHat to be available for purchase (I'm not a tester) and also for Sean's motor controller and tinypylot computer (I want a stand alone autopilot) to be available again, my thoughts have turned to mounting my pi4. What enclosures are suitable or recommended for the pi4/MacHat combo or is it best to not mount in a traditional way due to all the MacHat inputs? Also, I was wondering if it could be mounted in the same electrical enclosure as my 12v switches but ensuring some separation from feeds etc.
TinyPylot and motor controller will be mounted in a separate place.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks

It works perfect mounted without enclosure for example behind a panel or attached to a touchscreen but it should work ok in an enclosure as well. Since most of the connectors are screws you can use any electrical box using waterproof glands or just exposing the screws out of the box, endless combinations. I think no one has proposed an enclosure yet.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Lots of options. I'm liking the behind a panel idea. Thank you
