This is my first node, using the Xiao esp32s3 Wio sx1262 kit. This device will only stay in the house and always be plugged in & not be taken out for long, the battery is mainly just for backup.
I modified it from an existing case on Printables

Hot glue is my best friend. 😂
The changes I made:
- Rotated the board & moved the USB port to the side instead of the top.
- I used a 1.3 OLED instead of 0.96 (pls excuse my old eyes).
- Widen the case size (width and thickness) to fit the size of the display board & battery I used for easier installation.
PS:
I also just learned that not all GPIOs can be used for buttons. Previously, I used GPIO 8, but the board would restart when I tried to change some settings. I tried GPIO 7 but it was the same, and GPIO 9 worse, failed to get to the main menu. It turns out those are all SPI pins and can't be used, so I finally moved to GPIO 4.
I'm sorry if it's messy & hot glue is everywhere, LOL 😂
