Enclosure

[AndrewB]

Are there or will there be enclosures for the Firewing and shield systems?

We are currently talking to "Two Hornets" who have just had a successful Kickstarter:

It's called SliceCase and they are looking at supporting Firewing, with possibly the LCD+ as well. I will be posting them some sample boards tomorrow for them to work out the design. I particularly like this case:

Looks good.

Is it the uno version we need?

[David John Barker]

They will be putting together a dedicated Firewing enclosure when they receive a Firewing board from me. At the moment, there is not a Firewing option. An UNO would work I guess, as Firewing has the mounting holes and power socket in exactly the same position. However, even though the USB socket is in the same place it is a different size (Firewing uses the more sensible mini B). Personally I would wait for a dedicated Firewing solution...

Ah I have gone for the £19 version. I will be getting another Firewing so let me know when you have them.

Just noticed on an email that they have include the Firewing with shield.

Thanks David for sending them some samples so we can have a Firewing enclosure
