A self contained classroom suite in a portable case for use anywhere in the world regardless of infrastructure

For those adding the Arduino case controller and monitoring I have updated the CAD file for the LCD display bezel.

The Aurora firmware available on GIT is working extremely well and can alert the user to any unsafe battery or temperature issue within the EduCase. Should I be able to make a production version of the EduCase, this monitoring will be vital to protect the equipment and simplify things for the end users.

The alarms (temperature, battery voltage etc) flash the backlight display on and and off when active. I found this to be a great power-efficient method of user notification. I will also add a buzzer if I get to make a production version (depends on the Hackaday Finals)

The bezel can be easily fabricated on any 3D printer. I used my Solidoodle 2 with no issues at 0.2mm layer height and 30% infill.

Ultimately this will make it easier for mobile classrooms, news and education anywhere in the world. At least that is my hope :)

Cheers, Eric.
