Let the soldering begin.....

  Today I started soldering all the parts to their connectors, looks like a mess but you wont see that, you will just see the display and a connector to plug jump leads into.

The scratches were on purpose to give the glue something to grab onto.

Designing and Printing the part holders.

  I started designing and printing holders for the buttons, etc.
  I don't have a set layout for everything yet, probably wont until I get everything printed and wired up.

Parts arrived

Most of my parts came in today, going to start designing and printing enclosures to hold things.

Picked up:

45 in 1 sensor kit.

Security sensor kit.

100 pack LED assortment.

LED holders.

Jumper leads.

10 pack DPDT toggle switches.

10 pack momentary switches.

OLED display.

10 pack of 7 segment LED displays.
8 long bread boards.

Aluminum case.

I already had the UNO, Mega, Pi, and display from other projects.

New Project

  Where I work was attending I Heart Tech for high school students and this year we did up some Arduino UNOs, a mid sized breadboard and a project kit for the students to use, make a digital dice the night of the event and then to take home.

  That got me thinking about the the digital electronics breadboard kits when I was was in school that were nice, had a built in power supply, some LEDs, some debounced buttons, and a large build area, I wanted to have that again to experiment with so I have decided to build a large one in a hard case with push buttons, toggle switches, displays, LEDs, an Arduino Mega, UNO, a Raspberry Pi, and a 5" display to connect to the Pi, the Pi is there to experiment with and to also connect to the Arduino boards to program them so I do not have to sit at a PC to play.
