Creating an Enclosure
The navX2-MXP circuit board contains sensitive circuitry, and should be handled carefully.
An enclosure is recommended to protect the navX2-MXP circuit board from excessive handling, "swarf",
electro-static discharge (ESD) and other elements that could potentially damage the navX2-MXP
circuitry. The enclosure can also help prevent accidental shorts to ground which may occur on the MXP
Expansion I/O pins.
NOTE: The enclosure discussed below is compatible with both the "Generation 2" navX2-MXP as well
as the "Classic" navX-MXP circuit board.
Build vs. Buy
Those who prefer to print the enclosure using their personal 3D printer, an enclosure design file (in STL
format) is available in the "enclosure" directory of the .
Those who prefer to purchase the enclosure can order it from
weeks to deliver), or at the
approximately $20, depending upon the type of material used.
Design Files
The enclosure design files include:
navx-mxp.skp: Sketchup 3D Design File for the navX2-MXP / navX-MXP circuit boards
navx-mxp-roborio-lid_v4.skp: Sketchup 3D Design File for a lid-style enclosure for the
navX2-MXP / navX-MXP circuit boards. Note that the design file scale is 1000X actual size, so
will need to be scaled down by a factor of 1000 before printing.
navx-mxp-roborio-lid_v4_scaleddown.stl: STL Format File for 3d printing the lid-style enclosure
for the navX2-MXP / navX-MXP circuit boards. This file contents have been scaled to their actual
size.
