Enclosure and stand for SiPEED Tang Nano 20k FPGA to use as a console or just to keep dust off.
There is a kit out which has the SiPEED Tang Nano 20k FPGA packaged with some controller port boards and a couple of no-name repro DS2 controllers. This enclosure is for that kit with the following notes: It came with a breadboard since this is a breadboard friendly dev kit but I swapped that out for a smaller 35mm x 45mm board which I had on hand and then I shaved a bit off the one end of the smaller breadboard so that the USB C connector of the unmodified Tang Nano 20k hangs off the end of the board and the pins clear. If you would rather not shave the breadboard you could desolder a couple of the pins on the Nano 20k.
The small breadboard had a thin double sided foam tape which I also removed so the breadboard sets on the floor of this model. The top shell, bottom shell and base are separate parts which in my case are simply press fit so as to be easily removed in case I want to experiment on the board. I opted to use a 3D pen to secure the breadboard to the bottom shell by adding material to the raised tabs and pulling it over the edges of the breadboard. Perhaps you will prefer to glue things? This is a hobby kit after all so it is meant for tinkering, and this model continues in that direction. I used tacky putty like you hang posters with as footers on the base and it stays put. The base does more than just hold the enclosure in place, it also supports the controller plugs and hopefully helps prevent their breaking.
CAUTION: This enclosure exposes the switches near the USB C connector for convenience but be aware that two of the exposed pins nearby are power. I recommend before attempting any project like this you obtain the proper training and understand the dangers and pitfalls involved.
Disclosure: This project was created in Openscad with the assistance of AI per my measurements and instructions.
