Raspberry Pi Pico + Waveshare SX1262 LoRa Node HAT Case

A minimal snap-fit case designed for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Waveshare SX1262 LoRa Node HAT.

Features

• Opening for female SMA connector
• Opening for micro USB cable
• Internal standoffs to hold the Pico in place
• Trough for the HAT’s headers
• Two halves that snap together but can be separated easily

This case is compact, functional and designed for easy assembly.

Assembly Instructions

1. Pass the SMA connector through the round hole, aligning the nut with its groove.
2. Fasten the nut until the washer sits firmly against the plastic body.
3. Connect the antenna.
4. (Optional) Turn on the HAT using its switch before assembly.
   Note: The switch will not be accessible once inside.
   ⚠ Warning: Never power on without an antenna connected!
5. Gently wrap the pigtail under the HAT, making sure it isn't pinched between the HAT's individual headers.
6. Place the Pico and HAT into the body, aligning the USB port with its opening.
7. Snap the base onto the body until flush. If it doesn’t seat correctly, check the pigtail routing.

⚠ The case is not watertight and is intended for indoor use only!
