Aluminum Faceplate For SparkFun Button Arduinome Arrives!

Just received some aluminum faceplates for my arduinome that I got through a group buy organized by @z15 on the monome community forum. (Thanks!)

Arduinome dual panel faceplate design

These aluminum panels are each 5 mm thick which leaves about 2 mm of the SparkFun buttons exposed. My initial test of the faceplate has resulted in a lot of the buttons getting stuck, though most of them not enough to actually make contact. I think that with some time put into smoothing out the button holes and edges that this will provide great button mashing action.

Here is another view:

I just can’t get enough glory shots of blinky button grids!

I just had to share this brilliant little monome performance piece by edison. It really makes me want to finish my monome clone which is complete but for a case. Sure wish machinecollective were still making their beautiful cases.

edison describes this piece on his Vimeo page as:

“all one shot sounds…
no loops running….
64 buttons
64 noises….
shot on 2 HD cameras, 720p, 1 live take…..
with audio captured right to camera…..”
