Description

PDF

Print a case to mount your Bluetooth LE CAT control dongle for use with RumlogNG & RumlogNG2GO. 

For this build, I used a TRRS socket in the case. The battery ground is soldered to the sleeve. Ground for the circuit is soldered to Ring 1. When you plug in a TRS 3.5mm cable, this closes the circuit and turns the device on.

The cover fits snug. I hold it closed with label tape.
