Lowering the height of the uBITx

Sajeesh VU3PSZ  felt that the height of his case could be reduced further as there was lots of space to spare.

He soldered a separate connector below the PCB and straightened the leads on the Raduino board so that it plugs in horizontally underneath the main board.   This saves around half an inch in the required height of the enclosure.

Nice looking case

Sajeesh VU3PSZ shows off his new uBITx case design alongside his older BITx40.   A nice pair of rigs.   His blog item shows all the details, including a home made jig to achieve the folds in the aluminium.   This is definitely worth a look if you are considering a home-brew aluminium case for your uBITx.
