Review on πŸ“¦ Summitlink Black Case with Fan for ADS-B Raspberry Pi Stratux DIY Kit: Matte Finish, Tool-Free Assembly (Excludes AHRS Compatibility) by Brett Morrison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Summit case is one of the best cases available, but it still requires some work.

The Summit case is one of the best cases available, but it still needs improvement. Pros: Looks great. Has all the port cutouts you need. Easily accessible SD cards. Easily accessible USB ports. Has a threaded mount for a camera stand or suction cup mount. Necessary improvements: The holes for the antenna should be on the sides, as in other cases. Preferably UNDER the Rasp Pi mainboard. This frees up space for the cables, makes it easier to fold the antennas (in their original position they stick straight out and cannot be safely stored in a flight bag) and also allows you to easily install the AHARS chip. (I really NEED to add a picture of my mods.) The top side slots need to be filled in and the USB bay holes need to be open. Receivers tend to get hot and need fresh air. Need a better fan. Options are needed to mount the fan OUTSIDE (or on top) of the case (again clearance for the AHARS chip). The kit should include screws to attach the Pi to the bottom case.
