Raspberry Pi Arcade Cabinet #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Check out this awesome Raspberry Pi Arcade Cabinet work-in-progress from Shea Silverman’s Blog:
Been working on this for a bit. I now have limited access to a Laser Cutter. This mini Raspberry Pi Arcade Machine I made is so cool. The initial SVG came from here: http://www.ponoko.com/design-your-own/products/arcade-cabinet-enclosure-7231. I had to modify the holes for the slab of wood I was using and the screen size for my 2″ adafruit display.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
