As this particular competition is now finished I'll be posting updates in my blog instead of cluttering up this thread further!

What a superb write-up of a fantastic journey. Great post - thanks [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-00f78693-d99a-4646-b59b-d7ee7dd01c4a/6102.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Nice project, I really enjoy reading ones that put items people have to alternative uses. Thanks for posting this far, I am sure you will get to finalise the elements at some point in time, a bit of procrastination never hurt anybody.

Kind regards

Nice project, particularly like how the 3D components tie it all together.

I've also recently spotted that car suppliers are a good way to get 12v to 5v DC-DC converters. I've not checked the ripple on mine yet but as it's been fed into further regulators I'm not too concerned.

Cool project, but I can see how this one got away from you fast.

I had similar thoughts about Ben's Dev Kit for microcontrollers which don't have video output.

I was pondering doing something similar but using the likes of a Pi-Top as the starting chassis and fitting the Arduino + breadboard onto its modular rail system to make it a portable dev solution.

Not as much storage space as your briefcase so that would likely have to end up in a separate case.

Nice build there. Most projects never really seem to reach the fully finished stage, so you are not that far behind. Just poke, probe, re-work and no time, it will be everything you wanted it to be.

Good luck,

Gene

Wow, so much cool stuff there : ) Great place to fit a large TFT screen : )

The clamshell Arduino case is pretty neat too : )

Thank you for posting this!

Sometimes it's all about the journey and whether you get there is far less interesting... :-)

Also, I'm glad there was another lunch box dev kit..

Was hoping to see someone do one and this made my day!
