However, I seem to have made a mistake in my calculations, or the physical boards are larger than the 3D model. The ports align perfectly, but the shell is slightly too small to accommodate the board. I'll need to spend some more time in Fusion360 to refine the design and make it usable.

Glad you like it so far!

Perhaps you specced the outer dimensions of the case to be the same as the board, so then when you expanded the walls inward, it ended up being too small? Just a total guess though.

That is very likely the cause. I created the box walls around the edge of the board, but I now suspect that I may have thickened the walls in the wrong direction. If so, should be a fairly easy fix once I have time to sit down to work on the project, which likely will not be until this weekend when I will have some time without distractions.

That's precisely what transpired. I increased the wall thickness inward, making the cavity smaller than the PCB. I'm currently reviewing every design element and double-checking my measurements before embarking on another 10+ hour print.

Seeing that 3D printed case and reading Alex's comments about battery life on a power brick made me realize that...

• an xmodem file transfer program (that does binary files); this could be a command line program, but probably/eventually needs some assembly programming to achieve good throughput... the library serial routines have a lot of overhead.
• a GUI hex file/disk editor
• a peek/poke utility for use by EXEC scripts

edit: I realize now that I was thinking the "Workshop" rather than LOS itself.

It ain't XMODEM, but I did have to write a quick and dirty implementation of UUENCODE/DECODE for the Workshop for a uhh... different project I'm working on. It's not pretty and isn't technically directly compatible with the real UUENCODE/DECODE, as it requires accounting for the weird CR/LF issue with the Workshop, but it does allow you to send binary data over serial to the Transfer utility. And let me tell you, at 19200 baud with the LisaFPGA's improved serial buffer and overclocking, it makes moving files over sooooo nice, but I imagine it's dreadfully slow on actual hardware. I'll clean it up and post it to GitHub this week when I get some downtime in the evenings.

FujiNet for LOS!

A better document converter?
