If anybody else wants to share their creation let me know and I'll post it here. Justin Davis made an Altair shield for the Arduino Due.Chris Davis ( kb0wwp ) made a PCB and a beautiful case.Martin Zumr made a really nice looking box all out of wood.Alan Lowther found a nice metal case for his version and connected a Raspberry Pi for input/output and speech synthesis.Here are some pictures from others who have built this project and made it their own: If you would like to build this but don't like the idea of starting completely from scratch, please check out Chris Davis' Altair-Duino kit which comes with all components, a PCB, a case and a pre-programmed Arduino Due! ![]()
