Review on SunFounder ATmega2560 16AU Board Compatible Arduino by Michael Patilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You will need a Dremel

This case was purchased for a real Arduino Mega 2560 (latest model). Wanted a case that is smooth, transparent, yet strong and capable. When I received my Arduino I found that the case didn't fit at all. I have found that the notches above the digital and analog contact connectors prevent the case from mating. Using a dremel I cut out the notches (pictured). After trying to assemble it again, the case still didn't fit. I found that the DC input connector was misaligned with the front panel. Again, I use a dremel to cut the notch a little deeper (pictured). Although some modifications were required, now that everything is assembled the case looks fantastic. For $10, you really can't beat it. Just now that I know how to assemble and rebuild the three points, I will definitely buy the case again when I need it.
