Hello all, I've successfully built the gateway and designed a case for the unit. Feel free to download the .slt files from Thingiverse. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2735157Enjoy!! papa: Nice work, Joshua. I tweaked your image files so they can be seen all at once & take less storage space on the forum.

Joshua, your case looks very neat. Thanks for sharing pictures & the file to make it.
I make two suggestions: 1) You might put a little insulation between the bottom of the RFM69 radio & the metal below it (memory card slot?). That way if the radio is pushed downward, the radio won't short out on the metal.
2) You could also have the antenna inside the case. I often wind antennas around a pencil to create a short coil. The coil seems to communicate about as well as the straight antenna.
Congratulations also on achieving a working Gateway. Stay in touch & I look forward to other contributions you will make to this forum.
