MrGadget Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) @Havenbreaker @MrGadget I have 2 questions for you: 1. What is that beautiful brand of case you are using? and 2. What display are you using for your RPi? 1. The case was a cheaper replica of a Pelican Case 1450. Same dimensions, but much cheaper. 2. It's a 9'' LCD-Touch display that runs on 5[V] so there is no mix of different voltage levels. I made a simple GUI for internet sharing, so that it can be done via simple presses on the touchscreen :) Desktop overlay information is displayed using conky Edited January 7, 2016 by MrGadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Could you link to the display please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGadget Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Could you link to the display please? Correction, it's a 7'' display ^^ Should be the same as http://www.amazon.de/Waveshare-Capacitive-LCD-HDMI-Beaglebone/dp/B015E8EDYQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGadget Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 @Darren: I used wp5.sh as reference and created a simple GUI to make internet sharing easier and faster. Currently its pretty hacky but it lists all available interfaces and allows manual change Main View Interface selection (ethernet, wifi or in that case usb tethering) After hitting "Save" a little confirmation pop-up: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGadget Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 @Darren: I did not plan to release the source code as it's quick, dirty and uncommented. But if you'd like to check it out. no problem :-) @Barry: I made an eror during export of the stl. It's ment to be printed on the straight edge (so 90° flip). Like that the mount will not snap as fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Gotcha. Still dialing in the printer, so this way actually showed a calibration issue! Will flip it later and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Light Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I hope not, but who knows, sometimes one just wants to have options ;) here a first sketch with active cooling using a 15mm 5V micro fan: I've been noticing that my nano is running awfully hot lately. Has any progress been made on this? Having some kind of active cooling solution would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Is it getting hotter than 110 C / 230 F? If so -- that's a problem. Otherwise, not so much. Under normal circumstances indoors it's very unlikely that it would require active cooling. The thermal ratings on these chips are pretty high and the passive cooling of the NANO is designed within the chip tolerances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thermal ratings on these chips are pretty high and the passive cooling of the NANO is designed within the chip tolerances. I'll have to look at the exact temps when it's particularly hot, but leaving it running against the battery (or any flat surface, for that matter) seems to make things quite hot. Pressed against the battery, inside the tactical pouch, for hours at a time seems to exacerbate things.
