These translucent purple enclosures from Hammond have been specially designed to mount the increasingly popular Arduino development board. These enclosures are made from ABS plastic with a satin texture.
Moulded to allow easy access to I/O connectors, often used controls and/or LEDS and to allow easy installation of shields
Bottom of platform accepts battery holder
Includes 3 rubber feet and 6 mounting screws
Mounting holes moulded into the bottom accept interlocking plastic bricks for added expandability
Dimensions (L x W x H) 145 x 100 x 33mm
Manufacturer's part 1593HAMEGG1TPU
Suitable for use with Arduino Uno, Arduino Due, Arduino Ethernet, Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Mega ADK, Arduino Mega 2560 and Arduino Yun. Development boards not included.
I spotted this and liked the idea. After buying it, I really glad I picked one up. The plastic is quite thick and it's very well made. Seems like each one is injection molded individually instead of as a batch then cut off. There are no sharp edges to harm little fingers. They come with rubber (or rubber like) feet to stop your Arduino going for walkies around your work bench. There are 6 screws (2 for Arduino and 4 for underside) however I would suggest using plastic or paper washers to prevent any shorts on your Arduino's PCB but this is not a must because of the PCB solder mask, I just like being over the top with safety. It also has extra screw posts on the underside if you want to power your Arduino from a battery pack or if you want to connect any extra PCB's or breakout boards. As the title, It's a must have for developers and hobbyists alike.
