How is the anodized color compared to Dave?

ps. cool project
Its better than expected. I thought it would be too much shiny compared.

I will make pictures of then stacked later

Ok its put together and working😊

Now Mscaler fits Dave as a set
Lets post some pictures..

I must order 2 of the same nuts for the optical link. I only placed the units for the picture

Fired up!

Now with Dave on top

Dave has the test optic receiver still that will be build in.

Now some internals:
Mscaler main and button PCB Mounted

Front with IR window

Optic receiver misses driver PCB still

Only missing rubber feet under my unit still
Where can i find half ball shaped ones..?

Next will be testing further on my optic link

Cheers!!

For each foot maybe a low cylinder of hard plastic glued on to the base of the m scaler with a thin layer of sorbothane between them?

Plenty of sorbothane feet online in various sizes and durometer rating

Absolutely brilliant. +1 to others who've said this: I want one too!
There are some minor adjustments to do on the model to make it better fit like the button holes need to be a fraction smaller and the FPGA heatsink block a fraction lower.
But further its perfect.

It was a one shot try cause its not cheap to just keep remaking it 😄

I could create more of them for others if theres interest but the assembling risks are for the buyers then
