Building on my PCB face plate idea, how about a PCB front and back (with the main board in between) and a TPU band round the edge hugging it all in place 🤔 this is just a basic test, but I think it might just work... #Pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

So I ordered some test boards for the face plate idea! The main legends are cut into the copper so they can be backlit. I need a bit more silkscreen round the legends so they can be read without backlight, and the font could be a bit bigger, but they look great 😃 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

I have been playing with the idea of a PCB inlay for the front of the case to add some flair and make the button legends a bit easier to see 😄 looks kinda nice if I do say so myself 🤣 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

It's great being able to print out an item so you can physically hold it in your hands and see how it's actually going to work! Just small changes to the size of things or the spacing makes loads of difference #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

Been playing with button placement and layout, I think this one works maybe 🤔 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

People sometimes tell me there are too many buttons, so I fixed it 🤣 with a neon pink render just for fun! Going to give the buttons a bit of a shuffle, watch this space.... #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

Some add on fun has landed! I should really order some parts so I can actually make them work 😄 aint they cute 🥰 #Pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

Can't have pictures and videos in the same post on here 🤔

Thought I should lean into the neon colours! They sure do pop! 😎😎 #Pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32 #3dprinting

Upgraded the 3d printer and what else do you try than a CL-32 case of course! That neon green really pops! Printed on an @bambulabglobal.bsky.social A1 mini, it's amazing for the money! #Pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32 #3dprinting

Been playing with the add-on boards and routing the LED board. Will get a few sorted so I can get them ordeers and tested 😃 #Pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

You don't have to rely on whatever add-on cards I come up with to extend functionality! With 2 STEMMA/Qwiic connectors on 2 different groups of pins for maximum flexibility! You can even use GROVE boards with the right cable! #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32 #stemma #qwiic #grove

Thinking of other plans for the add on board securing method. The original idea with the tiny clips was a bit too tiny. The add on board would need changing to match, but it could work... #Pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

When I first started this project, I was worried it wouldn't be possible with the horribly slow screens I tried, but you can almost not tell this is e-ink! #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32 #eink

Here is a sneak peek at the latest prints from the good people over @midlands3dprinting the quality is amazing as always! I just need to tweak the tolerances a bit on the snap on back! #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

Getting some more ideas together for CL-32 add on boards! This one has a 6x6 grid of LEDs connected to the i/o pins. It would be great for teaching programming loops and converting images to pixels. The chip on there is an EEPROM to store examples and demo code 😀 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

How about a nice LoRa module to make CL-32 more fun! Could turn it into a nice mobile communicator 😄 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32 #lora #meshtastic

I was made aware of surface mount breadboard and so I borrowed the idea for my CL-32 breakout. The i/o pins are broken out down the sides, and the power/gnd are at each end. All the pads in the middle are unconnected for your soldering pleasure 😄 standard 2.54mm pitch too 😉 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

I thought I had nailed it, but alas it's too big 🤣 let's try again eh! #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

Playing with some ideas for a breakout board for the hackers out there. There is a bit stack of i/o pins to add yet, and the 2 boards will be so close together that there isn't room for through hole soldering, but I like it 😄 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32

Happy new year everyone! I think case v0.2 is ready! Maybe 2025 will be the year of the CL-32!! 😄 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32 #shapr3d

Thinking of having clips to hold the add on boards in place. They are tiny, but also replaceable in case they break 🤔 #pi0cket #CL32 #ESP32
