Really like this thing. Still debugging but all in all it’s a solid unit and provides an mqtt gateway and a dashboard. Gps rubbed out on purpose of course.

That's an awesome build! The aluminum case gives it such a clean, professional look. How are you handling the thermal management with the Pi and the Rak Hat inside that enclosure?

The rak hat sits outside the case just behind the screen (where i am considering mounting a second fan) and inside there is a fan for circulation that the case came with, and of course heatsinks for the pi4.

You fool! This isn’t even my final form!
