Many of the Raspberry Pi / Arduino enclosures out there are amazing and beautifully made, but most of them aren’t self sufficient. You may need an external battery, solder some buttons on a prototyping board, a screen for displaying whatever data you desire, get a fan for cooling if you’re fancy (you fancy, huh?), possibly an on/off switch, etc. By the time you’re done, you’ve got a huge mess of wires / stuff.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present:
My Personal Companion Cube!
Sides: Front, Left, Top
Sides: Top, Right, Back
Work in progress, but just though I’d throw out some inspiration (first day using the GF - yay!).
2.5" cube, with lots of space inside to put whatever you want.
This one has: Fan, 2x momentary buttons, giant On/Off switch, OLED screen, 1000mAh battery (upgradable since there’s still room in there!) internal speaker (not shown).
Features: ESP32, arduino and (micro)Python compatible, and a few other unnamed features.
Future changes: another few holes for air circulation, and possibly more button,
Photos only show 5 sides, so I’ll leave it up to your imagination to how the 6th side looks like
(hint - what else do you need to make this box truly functional?)
What would you add to any of the sides to make it yours? Comment below.
