    Been busy designing a bunch of different cases for the Arduino Uno, Mega and the Raspberry Pi and a command station case for DCC++ EX that holds a Mega with shield and also a Raspberry Pi.

    The Uno and Mega cases come in high a low tops depending on if you are also using a shield. They both also have reset buttons. The Uno on the right has a top reset button if you have a shield and a space in the corner to reset the Uno with your finger.

    The case on the right above has a Uno and Motor Shield running DCC++ EX as a DCC Command Station and I have it connected to a Raspberry Pi in another case (didn't show the Pi case here but there is one).

    Made this case that can be used as a DCC Command Station with an Arduino Mega running (free) DCC++ EX on the Mega/Shield on the left side and JMRI running on the Raspberry Pi on the right side. You could use this combination for a number of other things besides a DCC Command Station. For about $100 you can have a dedicated train room computer running JMRI that is also a DCC Command Station that can run phone throttles.

    You can get to all of the ports on the Pi and the Mega....

    The picture above shows the Raspberry Pin side with the ports there for the display and power. You can also get to the USB ports on the front and it is easy to remove or insert the SD card.

    I'll have these up in a week or so on my thingiverse.com account and will post when that happens. I'll have more about these cases on my site soon.
