My wireless remote leveler project is done. I have even found a source for the MXD2020EL accelerometer from Memsic (DigiKey @ $6.99 ea. FOB USA).
I now need a box to put it in. The GLCD display is 2-1/2" X 1-3/4", and the entire electronics can fit under that display. A box that is 3X4 plus battery space would be plenty big. The display needs +5V.
Nice boxes that have built-in battery compartments for 2XAA or 1X9V batteries are readily available. The problem is that my current need is about 0.08A, when you consider the display and the XBEE wireless. So, I have thought of using two lithium-ion 18650 batteries.
I cannot find any electronic enclosures that have built-in boxes for Li-ion batteries. Any suggestions? (As a last resort, I have located a box with a compartment for 4XAA batteries.)
