My project has just taken one step closer to completion...

Momentum has slowed greatly recently; i have my internal components assembled and tested (bar the button breakout for the Pi/Arduino), my 5" test screen is working nicely, and my 7" touchscreen is a day or two away.

I have also been incredibly lucky to have Alex on board to design my case on Onshape, and Jordan on board to give me great advice on materials (I am now going for a wood case rather than an acrylic one due to it being easier to work with).

The stumbling block has been finding somewhere to have the thing cut! Until today...

Today i was notified that my project had won a prize, and that prize is a $100 coupon for Ponoko!

Buoyed by a potential light at the end of the case-cutting tunnel, tomorrow will hopefully see me submit my files to finally get it cut!
