Building the Case

192940207_1963265180495568_2810525288753327924_n.jpg

I made a case out of metal so al the hardware can fit in easily.

Prototype

First if al I made a sketch, out of this sketch I created a prototype out of cardboard.

Bending

Included you find the dimensions of the metal I used. I bought plates and bent them.

Welding

After the bending I needed to weld everything together.

Then for the last part I drilled holes for the buttons and cut out another hole for the LCD.

For the placement of tubes, you need to drill several holes in a wood board so you can determine the angle.

Raspberry Pi

The image

Fist of all you need an operation software. We use Raspion OS.

Folow the steps:

  1. Download Win32 Disk Imager(free software)
  2. Insert the micro-SD into the computer
  3. Run Win32 Disk Imager
  4. Select the iso you just downloaded
  5. Select 'Write'

Connect the Pi to your pc.

Code

In the following link you can find the code needed to run this project.

Everything is explained in the code itself.

Unfortunately, this project does not work optimally, have fun improving it!
