Raspberry Pi Breakout Box

thingiverse

This provides a casing for the 'T' shaped 40 pin Breakout board and cable for the Raspberry Pi. These boards are often placed on breadboards for prototyping, but this provides a case than can be used for the completed project without the breadboard. The are holes to allow wiring from the project to enter the case and be firmly secured. Tested this for use with breakout boards from Inland, Multicomp and AdaFruit. The 'pad' parameter in the OpenSCAD design file allows for more or less height under the connecting pins. This can allow jumper cables to be placed directly over the pins without the need for soldering. Three STL files are provided: 1. Lid 2. Case with additional room under board for jumpers (GPIObox.stl) 3. Case with minimal room under board (GPIObox2.st) The lid helps to hold the GPIO board securely in place.
