HackRF Portapack H2 case

This is a case for the awesome Portapack H2.

The Portapack fromShareBrained is an add-on for the HackRF. The HackRF fromGreat Scott Gadgets is a Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz.

NOTE: There are some reports that if you have the genuine HackRF, you might need to print the pieces at 101% or 102%. The case is designed to be tight, but not extremely tight.

NOTE2: The revisited files should not require any modification. They are an improvement over the original files:
1) less tight fitting
2) better sd card slot
3) bigger holes for reset and dfu button
4) better fit, specially on the 2 bottom SMA

Extras

For thespeaker I used one from an old lenovo laptop. Connect the yellow and red wires to the speaker and leave the black wire floating (from the H2 kit). The speaker was attached with thick foamy double sided tape under the left side of the LCD.

Thebattery was attached with thin double sided tape, in the middle of the 3 sets of pins of the Portapack pcb
