Some manufacturing inspiration in miniature from Ben Katz at BuildIts:
My first idea was to have a system vaguely like Bridgeport mill dials. There would be a ring with scribed markings on it which could be rotated and locked down by another threaded ring. Here’s what the parts look like: A simple aluminum handwheel, with a solid stainless steel handle press fit into it. I really don’t like the type with freely rotating handles – if there’s any slop they feel cheap.
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.
