### Compact enclosure for DIY "The Things Network" LoraWan gateway: Raspberry Pi + IMST iC880A + ch2i backplane This is a simple and compact enclosure for a DIY [The Things Network](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/) Raspberry Pi based gateway with the IMST iC880A and the [ch2i gateway shield](https://github.com/ch2i/iC880A-Raspberry-PI) The enclosure allows air circulation to avoid overheating. #### Enclosure The enclosure is easy to print, no supports needed. Note that dimensions are optimized for a 0.35mm nozzle and 2mm layer height. All parts are designed with a 0.5mm tolerance for a tight fit. The M3 nut slots in the base plate provide a very tight fit so that the nuts won't come out once pushed in. #### Securing the Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi is fastened to the bottom plate with M2.5 screws. Insert the screws from the bottom of the enclosure and screw these into the standoffs between the Raspberry Pi and the backplane. #### Wiring The DC power is connected to the DC input of the backplane either 5V or the 6-28V input, depending on your power supply (set JP2 accordingly) #### BOM Aside the gateway, you will need: - 1 Panel mount DC power connector - 4 M2.5x10 screws for the Raspberry Pi - 4 M3x10 screws & nuts for the feet - 4 M3x8 screws with flat head for the sides (No nuts here, they are screwed in the enclosure tabs. So not over tight!
