JeeHub enclosure

Ok, so I wanted to wrap the JeeHub prototype into some sort of enclosure…

Yeah, why not, a cardboard box.

Got a couple of these from SparkFun, from whom I’ve ordered a few times. The fit is very tight:

And all connectors come out on one side:

From left to right:

  • Access to the FTDI connector of the JeeNode
  • The ethernet port of the MMnet1001 Linux module
  • A mini USB plug, only used to supply power
  • DC power, has to be between 5 and 6 volt

In normal use, only the Ethernet and USB ports are hooked up. But even without anything connected, the JeeNode will continue to receive and log data packets (once I finish the dataflash code, that is).
