I've finally got round to creating a case for my Remote Display Receiver.
The case came from a plastic box that did contain big timber screws till the other day. Once I had emptied it I liked the look of it and the angle that it sits on.
Here's what it looked like before I spray painted the inside black:

You might notice the TFT screen protector I use as a mask for the screen window
Unfortunately the WeatherDuino logo had some bleed through at the edges so I had to remove it. I'll later print a sticker for the front when I have some sticker media.
Here's a few pics of the finished case:

It's hard to get pictures that do it justice. Unfortunately the hot glue holding the display mode button in shows a bit around the button. I probably should have used super glue for this visible parts on the front.
Here's the inner wiring:

The rear showing DHT22 mounted away from the warmer board and the swivel 5 Vdc power connector. Also the USB port is accessible from the back.:

The other side and the homemade rubber ducky antenna:

This antenna was made with a length of stiff yet flexible wire with heat shrink over it all.
Overall I fairly happy with how it turned out. The good thing about this "free" case is that it would also be good in landscape orientation too.
