Mark Ketchum shared his internet radio project on hackster.io
Art Deco case for RPi radio. Translucent layers interact to reveal curvy sinews and veins lit from inside… ummm at least that was the idea…
A first try at a modular base system for future projects, also designed to meet the requirements for the Give Your Hardware a Home Challenge – RPi internet radio project with Fusion 360. I wanted a vaguely Art Deco exterior with some curves visible inside that would look good with LEDs, light-pipes or EL-wire. Basically a case-mod look.
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.
