Arduino casings
The Arduino platform has its fans among amateur electronics enthusiasts, novice DIY enthusiasts as well as professional and experienced programmers. It is perfect for creating simple robots and intelligent lighting management systems, as well as programming advanced microcontrollers and complex industrial applications. Arduino has found its application in the area of service and laboratory, i.e. where applications facilitating everyday work are used. Arduino has its roots in Italy, it was in sunny Italy that the platform was created, about which the whole world heard very quickly. It's a small plate, with great possibilities and functionalities. It can be supplemented with peripheral devices and adapted to the environment in which the system will work. It is also easy to install and use, which was liked by novice DIY enthusiasts. For each Arduino you will need a case that should be adapted to the design of the device and the accessories it is equipped with. Let's not forget about the design, which is responsible for the aesthetic qualities of the board.

Simple and functional housings for Arduino
In our store, we offer various, usually two-piece housings, adapted in dimensions to boards from the Arduino Uno, Leonardo, Yun or Arduino Mega series. Some of them are made of black plastic and resemble classic Raspberry Pi cases, providing easy access to the USB port and GPIO line, others - transparent, colorless or colorful - allow you to view the status of the built-in LEDs and... give the whole thing an intriguing, raw design . Some housings are designed for specific applications - for example, we have a housing for Arduino Uno, adapted to accommodate the main board with an LCD Keypad Shield.
Universal mounting stands
Our offer also includes universal stands that allow you to mount Arduino Uno, as well as Raspberry Pi 2B/3B or Raspberry Pi Zero (and Zero W). The great advantage of these simple but functional elements is - in addition to compatibility with the most popular minicomputers and AVR microcontroller boards - a multitude of additional mounting holes of various sizes and shapes. They allow you to easily add additional elements to the set, e.g. sensors or actuator modules, and also allow you to quickly attach cables with cable ties. Our offer includes this type of Arduino housings made of plywood and plexiglass. The stands are signed with the Forbot logo - a well-known portal and forum for robotics enthusiasts.
Special housings
In addition to housings and stands dedicated to beginners, we also have Arduino housings designed for fully professional applications. In industrial applications or building automation solutions, DIN rail housings are perfect - both full, designed for mounting the board horizontally, and specially designed holders that allow for mounting the board vertically (perpendicular to the DIN rail), which significantly saves space in the control cabinet . You will also find solid metal housings here, including models adapted to mount Arduino Mega with an Ethernet Shield.
Arduino housings - FAQ
Housings designed for the Arduino microcontroller are made of various materials, including: from synthetic materials. The purpose of the housing is to protect the microcontroller against damage, as well as to ensure adequate air circulation and access to the connectors. To some extent, the casing is resistant to mechanical factors. However, strong impacts, high pressure or other mechanical factors involving the use of high force may damage the housing.
The Arduino microcontroller during operation (especially under intense load) emits heat, which must be effectively dissipated outside. Additionally, during use, the housing should provide easy access to the connectors (we encourage you to read the description of the Arduino pins ). This connection means that most Arduino cases are not waterproof.
