I finally put the fan controller into a cheap plastic case, drilled holes, mounted the Arduino with spacers, and aligned the display using double-sided tape. I cut the panel with a Dremel and it fit better than I expected — read on for photos and simple tips.

I spent today shaping the Outmoded Sequencer case—switching from planned acrylic to a Dremel-cut wooden shell, sanded and spray-painted deep black. I fitted the knob panel, planned standoffs and PCB placement, and refined the circuit with caps and a line-out. Read on for photos and details.

I'm putting the finishing touches on the deluxe data logger: hardware is built and tested, and I'm finalizing the menu-based software. It includes five capacitive inputs, record/view/send/erase functions and wireless charging. Please read the full post for details and prototype photos.
