The shop I use has an epilog, and I would love to try this.

your PCB layout looks like it was done by a lazy, LSD addled snail, please present future PCB layouts with nice orthogonal lines and 45 degree mitred corners. Just because you have a groovy laser machine doesn’t mean you can forget the basics of layout.

er.. what ? That PCB design is magnificent. Orthogonality and mitered corners are irrelevant for the electrical properties of this board. The board is beautiful, it is a work of art. creativity >>> conformity.

Why don’t I just break in with my flathead screwdriver? You need either unusual security screws or better yet, to fasten it from the rear.

Nice besides this.

I have a neat idea for a project in my new house.

Please note that I don’t need the buttons, just the wallplate.

i will keep track of it

thanks

Ive tried to replicate this project; but somethings wrong; the button test wont work at all; and the other two are totally un responsive, in that i mean they turn on; but they have no particular color pattern or motion.

Like both sides of it? There are some parts that I am really confused about especially since the Eagle Project file and the pictures of your bored are totally different. I’m building this for a final project in my electronics class, and I’m just caught up on a couple things. Any help would be appreciated.

I don’t think I’m up to the task of designing a board yet. Everything else in the hack is very well documented.
Thanks for the great project! I intend of creating one (already have the wife’s permission)

How many coats of paint did you put on the boards and what settings did you have the laser set to? 100 spd , 50 pwr?

I would build one of these if I didn’t rent.

I’m just not sure that my landlord is a big fan of hack-a-day.

Very detailed instructions… I’m going to have to try this myself soon. :-)

It looks like a simple enough board to mill.

Seems like it would be too easy to memorize. Does it rely on security through obscurity, imagining that Joe User wouldn’t be able to figure out how it works?

now, do you have to flood all posts with these annoying messages?

hackaday: Maybe its a good idea to put some voting mechanism on your posts?.. but please, something simple. I love the simplicity of your site, specially because it works on embedded browsers.
