Hi @galczo5 this is incredible! Thank you so much for posting. Could you share some direct links next to the components required please? This will be my first Arduino project so want to make sure I order all the right parts. Thank you again!

galczo5 commented 2 years ago

Yeah, sure. I can try to find them and post the list here. Aliexpress is ok with you?

duncanwilkinson commented 2 years ago

Yeah that would be great, thank you again.

Thank you so much @galczo5 that's really, really helpful. Now just to find a cool enclosure for it, maybe a metal box with a Flux Capacitor sign for the faceplate: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003642997752.html :)

Hello @galczo5, could you please provide a measure for the enclosure? Would Hammond size 1590DD fit?

galczo5 commented 4 months ago

I think that 1590DD might be slightly too small. It depends on your skill in cable management.

I used a generic metal case from an electric store. It's a little bit bigger than 1590dd, like 2-5cm, but it's higher and it allowed me to fit it nicely.

Aluminum cases like 1590 might be problematic to drill a screen hole, because of thick aluminum sides
