Cutting Aether for Wireless
basis21b:
I am doing the work to prepare the light fixtures to accept Aether boards once I get them built. What I need are recommendations on what I could use to make the cuts in the case to accommodate the EX/RX antenna. The assembly video did not give any ideas and obviously I need to be spoon-fed.

I would use a hole saw to cut the antenna opening. Size it slightly larger than the antenna and make sure to get one that cuts metal as well as wood. I would wait on making this modification to the housing until after you build at least 1 Ather to make sure that you are putting the hole in the correct location.

The hole is made with a small 3/16"regular drill bit. I will attach a drawing for reference. All that stick through it is the RF modules antenna. The large pcb stays inside.
Look at my rough sketch.

If 3/4 is what is needed then I will probably try it with a 3/4 bi-metal hole saw since I have them and it will make it much faster for me.

You could also try using a dremel tool with a small whiz wheel (cutoff tool). Final fit can be done with a jewelers file.
