Title: Template for enclosure cutouts?
Post by: UncleBuck on January 01, 2012,

I am in the process of building my first dongle. I received the enclosure and realized that I need to make some cutouts for the USB port, RJ45 and LED’s. Is there a template out there somewhere? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

in the manual, right under the picture at the top   after the notice, and before the introduction

Quote from: The Dongle Manual

If you do not have a case with pre-cut holes, you will need to cut two square holes and drill two holes for the LED's. Use a 9/64 inch drill bit to make the holes for the LED's and use the following templates for making the square holes.

Perfect! That is just what I was looking for. On the square cutouts any suggestions. I have a round punch set but not square ones.

Drill out the center and then either use a file or dremel type tool
