This case is meant to house a RaspberryPi Model Zero-W together with four banana-style connectors and a tiny 128x32 pixel monochrome OLED screen (see: https://www.adafruit.com/product/931)

Its a box that might be over-engineered, but that's okay.

Two of the banana-style connectors can be attached to an existing system which can pull one of the GPIO pins on the RasPi low or high. The second set of banana connectors is soldered to the RasPi's power.

This pull up/down of the GPIO then triggers an SMS notfication (twillio, etc.), or alternatively email, to be sent to the user to notify them of the GPIO's changed state. 

This project was originally designed to attach to an existing NON-IOT, moister-triggered water heater cutoff valve to notify me of any leaks in the basement while I'm away.




CHANGELOG - 

4/26/2021: 
Updated the design to fix inner dimensions - Hey Thangs.com admins, it'd be really cool to have some kind of versioning built into this website!

I also removed the snap-fits as my printer has a hard time printing them accurately - I included 4 corner holes that accommodate M3x30mm bolts along with an interior lip around the edge of the top and bottom bodies.

I also added a rectangular cutout on the side of the case to accommodate a male Micro-USB to female USB-A connector so that the USB port is on the side of the case instead of the bottom.

4/27/2021:

I started working on a build-guide for this piece. I'll post a link to the hackaday project page once I get all my notes together...

updated the design again as I ran out of interior volume to lay the wires between the RP0 and the tiny OLED screen. The model has more depth now, which kind of ruins the nice tiny package I had initially. Maybe its time to move away from an ARM based processor to a microcontroller...

I also changed the offset points that help guide the top and bottom of the case together. My previous design didn't come out great once 3d printed. lets see how this design goes...

Moved the cutouts for the banana connectors to the bottom component to make the interior cable/wire management a little bit easier for myself... 

The 4 corner holes now accommodate M3x50mm hex bolts with a 5.5x5mm countersink in the bottom for the bolt nuts... 

RaspberryPi Zero-W SMS Notification Module

RPZeroW_Notification_Module_final v1.stl

Arduino Nano powered shift indicator light compatible with SimHub software, uses two WS2812 5050 RGB LEDs. 

Personally I use it as a shift light in Assetto Corsa.

see https://youtu.be/u5kZjg_sJdg for help with setup in SimHub



SimRacing Shift Indicator Light

SimRacing_Shift_Indicator_Light v3.stl

A simple snap-fit case for the RaspberryPi Model 4

Changelog -
4/27/2021: NOTE I plan on changing the snapfit design on this case as my AnyCubic 4Max Pro is having issues printing these snapfits without support structures. It looks like they're too small and fragile. 

If you've downloaded and printed this model let me know what printer and filament you used in the comments! 

RaspberryPi Model 4 Snap-Fit Case

RaspberryPi_Snap_Fit_Case v2.stl

A remix of Peter Holzapfel's N64 retro pi parts on thingiverse (see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2493432)

My goal with this build was to package a raspberry pi 3 and small USB soundcard into an N64 to use together with Joseph Basquin's SamplerBox (https://www.samplerbox.org/).

The front left controller connector ports were customized to include 3.5mm audio jacks which I connected to the audio/mic-out of the USB soundcard. I purchased a micro USB to female USB-C cable in order to power the pi and soundcard with a USB-C cable.

In the future I'll adapt Peter's carrier board to support both a raspberry pi model 4 and the sound card. For now the sound card just hangs out loosely inside the gutted N64 case.

I'm also working on a way to hook up the N64 cartridge reader to the RasPi via USB (see https://sudomod.com/game-boy-zero-guide-part-5/ for a similar take on this idea) - has anyone made this happen? let me know

I've included some blank models that can be customized in Fusion 360 for your own purposes as well as some parts from Peter's project.
