Rubicon The tough IP67 , expandable, Crowd Supply teal case for your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, BeagleBone, or custom PCB project. Rubicon is a modular enclosure system specifically designed to help deploy and protect your projects in style. It is IP67 water- and dust-proof, supports glands and conduit fittings, and is designed to be installed just about anywhere. Rubicon combines high quality, extreme durability, and superb flexibility great for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications such as sensors, IoT gateways, and controllers. Rubicon is ready to shield your Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Arduino, and other custom hardware from sun, rain, snow, and flood. What’s New? This crowdfunding campaign is for a limited, special edition run of the Rubicon IP67 project cases in Crowd Supply teal, and for a new addition to the Rubicon family line - a compatible, custom heatsink. This deluxe kit also contains both the shallow and deep cover depths in the Crowd Supply teal for even more configurability.

Rubicon

The tough IP67 , expandable, Crowd Supply teal case for your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, BeagleBone, or custom PCB project.

Rubicon is a modular enclosure system specifically designed to help deploy and protect your projects in style. It is IP67 water- and dust-proof, supports glands and conduit fittings, and is designed to be installed just about anywhere. Rubicon combines high quality, extreme durability, and superb flexibility great for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications such as sensors, IoT gateways, and controllers. Rubicon is ready to shield your Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Arduino, and other custom hardware from sun, rain, snow, and flood.

What’s New?

This crowdfunding campaign is for a limited, special edition run of the Rubicon IP67 project cases in Crowd Supply teal, and for a new addition to the Rubicon family line - a compatible, custom heatsink. This deluxe kit also contains both the shallow and deep cover depths in the Crowd Supply teal for even more configurability.

Heatsink

The heatsink accessory kit provides the hardware necessary to mount a Raspberry Pi such that its processor is thermally tied to the base plate with a copper riser, which allows the heat to flow directly from the processor to the base plate of the Rubicon, and subsequently out of the enclosure. In outdoor tests comparing the temperatures of Rubicons with and without heatsinks using a quad-core Pi 3 under full load , the heatsink reduced the processor temperatures by over 20° C. Heasink only intended for use with Pi Zero, Pi Zero W, and Pi 3 models A+, B+, B.
