The stackable, modular, extensible and hackable enclosure for your Arduino!
This case fits both Uno/Leonardo AND Mega footprints, and can accommodate any boards that have an Arduino footprint like SparkFun RedBoard, BlackBoard Artemis, etc. (see list of compatible devices below)
The case has an internal clearance of over 1.2 inches, which gives you ample room to install a shield of your choice!
Features
- Fits both Uno/Leonardo AND Mega footprints!
- Internal clearance of over 1.2 inches, which gives you ample room for a shield (or even two!)
- Made from high quality cast acrylic
- Clear acrylic provides a beautiful finish with a modern visual design with full view of your electronics
- Pre-drilled and threaded mounting holes in the base plate allow you to directly screw the board in without needing additional nuts, making it very easy and elegant for you to use. A thoughtful feature that you will surely appreciate if you have larger hands and dealing with tiny M2.5 nuts!
- Acrylic risers raise your board off the base plate for improved airflow and firm level mounting
- Metal standoffs and screws provide solid and durable support
- Rubber Feet protect your table surface while providing maximum airflow by elevating the enclosure
- Cutouts leave USB and power ports accessible
- Cable Management: Easily accessible cable management cutouts in the side walls allow you to smoothly insert your cables and access wiring to external systems. In the Open Configuration, the Wall slots on the top and bottom plates (where the side walls usually insert into) can also be used for cable management for even more accessibility and organization.
- You can mix, match, customize, and expand your project enclosure because ProtoStax enclosures are modular and stackable and work with each other.
- Extension kits and add-ons add functionality to your enclosure.
Modular, Stackable and Extensible ProtoStax Enclosures adapt to Your Prototyping Needs:
Modular:
ProtoStax enclosures provide different configurations that support different stages of prototyping
Use it as a prototyping plate, with full and open access to your device while prototyping. Rubber feet protect your board and your table top!
Add side walls and the top to form a fully enclosed case for maximum protection.
The cases offer connectivity to external systems using our unique cable management methods (see features above)
Extensible:
Extension kits and Add-Ons allow you to add functionality to your enclosure. Add a fan or two, switches, camera & tripod mount, and more! Just filter by "extension kit" or "add-on" in the main shopping page to view the choices (or just click on the links above!)
Stackable:
All ProtoStax cases are compatible with each other and can be stacked side-by-side (horizontally) or one on top of the other (vertically). Mix-and-match multiple ProtoStax cases and put together a larger enclosure from the individual ones! Our Raspberry Pi + Breadboard, or Raspberry Pi + Arduino enclosures are popular bundles. You can also mix-and-match various Raspberry Pi enclosures (A+, B/B+, Zero enclosures to build your hybrid cluster with whatever Pis you have lying around!)
