I've got a cape on my Beaglebone green, and I need to get an enclosure for it.  I've been looking for an enclosure that's extra tall to fit a cape, but I can't seem to find one.  Does anyone have one of these and can you provide some recommendations?  Thanks!

It's a problem with the Greens.

I get the clear plastic one from Seeed Studio and don't use the sides or top.  So only the bottom plastic side is used, + 4 spacers and bolts.


So you get a little protection for the bottom side of the board when it is setting on the desk.  You could put some stick on rubber feet to keep it from sliding around.
It might be possible to not use the folding lid.

The problem is even worse with the Green Wireless.

Another thing which will work, but again is not a true enclosure:


This will allow another board to be bolted next to the Beaglebone.  Then the assembly can be bolted to something else.
I've got one of these with a BBGW and a solid state switch board mounted, and then the whole thing is bolted to the inside of a water tight enclosure.

Regards,
Greg
