Arduino Workbench
Categories: [ DIY/Arduino ]
Here's a mini-workbench for Arduino prototyping, made of 6.5 mm plywood.
The Arduino board stands on whatever-they-are-called threaded thinggies you use to screw the motherboard into the computer case without it touching the metal. Arduino screw holes are 3.2 mm in diameter, so I had to drill them to 3.5 mm. It survived the treatment.
The breadboard had an adhesive back, so this one was easy.
The LCD has one potentiometer (top) for contrast and one switch for the LED backlight (depending on the power source, backlight may consume too much current, so it can be switched off if needed). The connectors at the end of the ribbon cable are made from component legs and shrink tube.
The drawback is that now it takes much more space than it used too…
