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’.
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
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.
