Build a Twin Raspberry Pi B+ “Rack Case” @Raspbery_Pi #piday #raspberrypi
This tutorial from Instructables user RichSchumaker shows you how to build a simple rack case for you new Model B+:
So I have built and bought several Raspberry Pi cases.
Before I could get a RasPi I owned several high quality paper cases.
Once it came out I graduated to cardboard, leather, Legos, and purchased cases.
I would buy a Pi and create or buy a new case.
I just received the new RasPi Model B+ so I started a case search.
While searching I remembered I bought some nylon screws and nuts for the Pi camera, they were the wrong size(d’oh!!) so I threw them in the ‘pile of stuff to use later’.
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.

While there are plenty of cases around, it’s nice to see some starting for the new B+ model. However, as long as you are just starting the case design, can I ask for something?
I’d like a case with… (drumroll) a built-in, mains driven, power supply.
The new B+ uses less power they claim, so a compact supply should be all that’s needed.
