ESP32-2432s028 GPS ext. Antenna + Battery CYD Marauder

Here is a case for the Cheap-Yellow-Marauder project on Github or for other projects that use the ESP32-2432s028 module.

I use this charge controller:

Type-C USB 5V 2A Step-Up Power Module

The USB-A socket is simply clipped or desoldered.

A microswitch is connected to contact K and the battery ground.

6x6x5 mm Miniature Microswitch

A single press activates the power supply, a double press deactivates it.

The switch is inserted into the rear cover, and its legs are bent outwards, which provides sufficient hold.

You can use any battery that fits into the case (old vape batteries).

The circuit board is fixed inside by melting the plastic pins in the corners (unfortunately, the pins at the top edge have to be halved towards the middle so that the outer half remains).

I use the following module as a GPS module:

GT-U7 GPS Module

The GPS antenna is placed in the upper recess, this should happen before installing the ESP, otherwise there is not enough space left. The connection to the board is made to the serial port, see picture. The GPS module itself is then glued directly to the ESP board with double-sided adhesive tape.
