Overview
Do you want to install your Arduino UNO project into a control cabinet? Look no further!
The ArduiBox Open DIY kits house an Arduino board and mount it to a DIN rail.
The kit comes with a prototyping board and a 5V voltage regulator (soldering required).
Along the edges of the prototyping board, all the IO and power pins are connected and marked.
Furthermore you can add an Arduino shield to the mainboard.
You can connect your work via terminals with the world outside the enclosure.
Please Note: This is the newer V2 version of the ArduiBox. Assembly (including solder) required. Arduino board not included.
Included in the kit:
- ArduiBox Enclosure Prototyping PCB Voltage regulator kit
- Reset switch
- Pin headers and terminal blocks Screws
Features:
- Milled cab rail enclosure
- Transparent top shell compatible with EN50022 DIN rails
- Prototyping plate - fits perfectly in the enclosure
- All Arduino pins are connected to marked pins beside the breadboard
- 4x 3-pin terminal blocks 1x 2-pin terminal block
- Sockets for popular Arduino boards in UNO or NANO shape
- Sockets for an optional shield (directly connected to the Arduino) contains parts for a 5V/1.5A voltage regulator (Vin 9...35V DC)
- Reset button (reachable via openings in the enclosure)
*The boards and shields in the pictures are not included.

Max out the digital I/O on the Arduino Uno Rev3!
Although we recently launched the new 32-bit Arduino UNO R4, Clem Mayer wanted to honor its 8-bit predecessor by making something special using the Rev3. Drawing on old hardware designs, the ZX-81 is an 8-bit computer based on the Z80 processor which has 1KB of RAM and 1KB of EEPROM available for the user to utilize within the operating environment — typically a BASIC interpreter shell. Similarly, Mayer wanted to have one ATmega328P run the TinyBASIC interpreter while a secondary ATmega328P would handle the external keyboard and display due to resource constraints. The PCB was designed to fit within the form factor of a standard event badge, complete with a small multiplexed keyboard and a 20x4 monochrome LCD screen to fit the retro theme. On the back layer of the board are both AVR MCUs in a surface-mount package to save on space along with a pair of battery holders and a buzzer/power delivery circuitry. Although the code was working for the most part, Mayer still encountered a couple of problems which he solved mainly through bodges and ensuring the LCD was producing adequate contrast. Once the hardware was functioning as intended, he 3D-printed a case and turned it into a lanyard-attached device — complete with blinky lights and a highly interactive interface. The finished handheld computer badge is a testament to the power and versatility of the Arduino Uno R3. By utilizing all available pins and space on the chip, Clem successfully transforms the Arduino Uno into a handheld computer with capabilities like the ZX-81. The project serves as a fitting tribute to the beloved Arduino UNO R3 and showcases the potential for DIY electronics with microcontrollers.
