| + | ====== Deenlai FSH710 ====== | ||
| + | This enclosure is rather small, thus fewer Meshtastic boards are able to fit inside. So far, I have only tested the Heltec WiFi LoRa 32, which is one of the smaller boards available. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Internal Dimensions: 46 mm × 34 mm × 25mm | ||

| + | ===== Heltec WiFi LoRa 32(V3) ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | :!: Double check the polarity and voltage of all wiring, the Heltec board will be damaged above 6 V or by any reverse polarity supply. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Tools Required ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Philips #1 or #2 screwdriver | ||
| + | * Soldering tools | ||
| + | * Flush cutters or a good scissors | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Extra Components Required ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | * 1× U.FL to SMA pigtail | ||
| + | * 1× [[https:// | ||
| + | * 1× [[https:// | ||
| + | * 1× DC-DC buck converter, fixed voltage, e.g. [[https:// | ||
| + | * 3.3 V fixed voltage preferred | ||
| + | * 5 V fixed voltage if you need battery charging | ||
| + | * ≈24 AWG wire | ||
| + | * Double-sided foam/VHB mounting tape | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Assembly ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Remove nut and washers from U.FL to SMA pigtail | ||
| + | - Insert U.FL to SMA pigtail into SMA Jack Adapter and install and tighten the nut and washer | ||
| + | - Unscrew nut and remove one of the cable glands from the FSH710 Junction Box | ||
| + | - Re-using the gland nut and rubber O-ring, install the SMA Jack Adapter into the FSH710 Junction box | ||
| + | - Route the external power wire into the remaining cable gland, optionally tying a knot to prevent pull-out through the gland | ||
| + | - Solder the exterma power wire to the input of the DC-DC converter | ||
| + | - Power up the buck converter and double check the output voltage, then disconnect from power | ||
| + | - Mount the Heltec board, then measure and cut the wire length required from the 3V3 or 5V pin to the DC-DC converter output | ||
| + | - Solder the output of the DC-DC converter to the Heltec board (outside the enclosure, where access is easier) and trim all excess wire length behind the pads off | ||
| + | - Connect U.FL to SMA pigtail to the Heltec board | ||
| + | - Place mounting tape on the DC-DC converter | ||
| + | - Mount the Heltec board and DC-DC converter into the enclosure | ||
| + | - Power up and verify Meshtastic boots | ||
| + | - Ensure all wiring is within the internal cavity of the junction box and will not get crushed by the case cover | ||
| + | - Install the cover of the FSH710 Junction Box and tighten screws | ||
