Has anyone made a case for the Arduino/TC4 (or TC4+) combo?

Good point though. You can probably use a generic case as a starting point like the one renatoa linked, or a 3D model if you want to print a case. You will have to add cutouts for a few things. The DC screw terminals and the bluetooth header would be the first things to look at.

I?ll post up once I make one, with Fusion360 and STEP files so anyone can modify as needed (I?ll print mine, gotta justify that thing!) -Keith

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 652 Joined: November 06, 2013	I picked up a case through spark fun a few years ago that fiit Arduino and tc4c. For controlling my 2 SSRs I used a wort boiler unit from auberins. It is a manual 100 step controller. I was going to put the tc4c+lcd in to run things but the roaster worked so well I stopped at the manual stage.
