Sometimes it is useful to mount your Arduino project permanently in a control cabinet - for example in home automation or industrial applications. In such cases our ArduiBox enclosure for Arduino Nano, UNO and Yun Rev2 can help you to come to a rugged solution with professional look.

In this instructable we will show you how to use Arduibox with the different Arduino boards.

Tools and Materials

Materials:

  • Arduino UNO, Nano or YUN Rev2
  • ArduiBox Open kit
  • optional shield

Tools:

  • soldering iron
  • solder wire
  • side cutting pliers
  • needle nose pliers
  • medium cross slot screwdriver

PCB Assembly

In the first step you have to assemble the pcb on the ArduiBox kit. Please follow the attached construction manual. It is important to now which Arduino board is later used, because you can not assemble the pcb for Nano and UNO/Yun at the same time....

Pcb Mounting

Now you can mount the pcb in the bottom shell of the enclosure

Place the Arduino Board
