SunFounder 10.1 inch touchscreen enclosure openplotter chartplotter
Description
Update 11/10/2020 My screen died, I've sold my yacht so no motivation to continue to work on this project. I have uploaded the SketchUp files so feel free to use for your own projects and /or remakes. I note that its much easier to use a Moitessier HAT than the MPU and GPS below plus you get AIS receive and a couple of other sensors, if you are interested in the marine plotter component of this project see https://openmarine.net/ Update 08/09/19 I have pretty well finished the design of the first version of the chart plotter and am currently printing just the electronics layout to ensure perfect placement. The electronics I am mounting in the design include. * SUNFOUNDER 10.1 INCH TOUCHSCREEN * Raspberry Pi A+ (should fit Pi4 or 3B+ but would have to cut an access plate on the right side to access the USB and Ethernet). * Openplotter Canbus Adapter * TPLink USB 3.0 7 port powered hub (case removed and directly mounted the board). * Using IP67 rated 2 pint power connector plug set for power (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/254064059800 ) * M12 Front Mount Female A 4P wolder wire connector for canbus (https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/industrial-automation-circular-connectors/1345754/ ) * WaveShare 10DOF IMU Sensor V2 * GY-NEO6MV2 Module NEO-6M GPS Board + Antenna Disclaimer. I am yet to get all of those components working in the device so its possible the IMU or GPS will be replaced with other hardware. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is to facilitate the construction of a marine chart plotter using openplotter open source raspberry pi software. I had this screen lying around and I could only find one other case 3d model online but I wanted to build something more rugged. I have constructed it with future IP rating in mind, the idea is that you could place an o-ring or silicon gasket between the main enclosure and bezel to seal the unit which would hopefully make it impermeable to unexpected splash or limited rain. This unit is currently a blank box but I plan to install access panels and various outlets into 3d model once I have received the said hardware. Its designed to be printed without supports, I would recommend ABS for durability, UV resistance and the potential for vapour smoothing, further improving its resistance to the elements but you can really print it with whatever you want to suit you expected usage. You will need some m3 nuts and bolts for construction. 20 x M3x20 bolts 20 x m3 nuts The modified box will require some support, I set overhang to 80% and minimum support area to 25mm2 to prevent it filling all of the nut spaces.
