Me too if you have enough.

I think you showed that in the video with a short mouse/kbd dongle attached. I am tempted to add a second one now that I removed the battery. Today I set it up on my desk having tweaked the image to randomize the most recognizable After Dark modules. A few people have noticed and everyone got a...

USB Port added:

Ok, I made a new observation. The audio noise is coming from the use of the USB-C battery connection. I think I am going to try to bypass it. I want to keep the connector, but since this will be a desk accessory, battery power is just a novelty to show someone for a few moments. It will be...

Two steps forward one step back: Having constructed a working Micro-to-USB-A adapter cord that I will mount in the back, I wanted to test it first. No mouse control. No keyboard control! In fact, if I SSH into the running system and check run 'lsusb' I only get the root hub device. However, if...

Also, I WAS able to tweak the gain on the audio using the trim pot. I think for now I will be satisfied with a compromise between audible emu value and dropping the noise to a less-noticeable level.

Perfect! Thanks! I was finally able to get in there with a multimeter and probe my button 1 and sure enough, it was non functional. Maybe the heat from desoldering or part of the pin was left behind. . . in any case this switch was DOA so I replaced it with a traditional tactile. After...

I noticed a trim pot on the Adafruit sound module. I think it’s a gain adjustment but I wonder if adjusting it would have any effect on the digital noise it’s picking up and amplifying. I don’t mind if the sound a quieter overall as a result. I too will display flying toasters! I was having...

Just noticed that my button to on the bottom right is not doing anything. I need to do some continuity tests I guess. Something isn't right, because I thought that button is supposed to do a shutdown, right? The other one reboots the Mac emu just fine.

The script ran perfectly, I assume, while I did other things. When I came back the SSH had disconnected but I could see messages that it had finished. The little Mini Mac was flashing "?" which means it worked! I have a dummy disk image. I was able to mount a network drive and copied over a...

@wells or @wottle, any chance you have advice about SCP failing with --stalled when trying to transfer my disk image? I am running the script now, but I know it will fail when it finally tries to boot because I had to fake it with a dummy disk image file. I am using the easy to find...

@wells thanks for confirming the display issues. Pressure definitely affects things, though I would be surprised that horizontal stress into the glass from the edges would have any effect at all. If I press into the corner with a fingertip in the corner directly behind the color aberration I can...

Having taken up @wottle on his offer above, I am also on my way with this project using @wells board. I'll post a photo or two when I get a chance, but so far, here are some thoughts: We need more instructions about how to get the Maclock case open without damaging it! Separating the case was...

Here is a brief update for anyone who is considering using the Bambu kit. . . I found that with a good print, the model I used above comes together nicely at first, but you need to be careful with the wheel supports so as not to break them. Then, once assembled, there is some flex of the board...
