LED edge lit acrylic signs

[Chuckt]

I saw some buttons like the descriptions I posted and I think they were mounted on a wooden board. I then thought of the beautiful work you did with acrylic and thought that either a small lap size gamepad for a table or a larger unit would be attractive.

I bought the Sparkfun joystick shield and I'm waiting for it to arrive:

I have to assemble it but I can just imagine a six year old rocking it and sending static electricity over the PCB as it is meant to sit on top of two microcontrollers. Then I had a flashback of your project and remembered how handsome your acrylic projects were as I thought about building a more rugged one. If I was a salesman, I would sell a gamepad or arcade with your acrylic because it would be popular and some people might want to sell them for a mint but I'm sure some would be scared that it is above their budget to have something that looks nice.

I'll look over the dimensions of that board and see what I can think of. If you have something already in mind (shape, etc.) PM me or shoot me an email to stacy.dudley@tqs.com with a sketch or drawing of some sort. Maybe we can work on it together.

I am going to try and design a case or something for Brads SPB when I get my hands on one. I am also up for ideas/suggestions on how to do that.

Surely your SPB will arrive soon. I hope!

Whoo-Hooo!

Does that mean I am going to be the first person in Florida, U.S.A. to get my hands on one? COOL!

Yes indeed! (if the post office will hurry up...)
