This week was cut short with sophomore grading and no school on Tuesday, but I continued working on making a mount that attaches my projector my raspberry pi. The projector I am using is a Dell m318WL. The dimensions for this are 4.1 inches by 4.1 inches by 1.4 inches. The top face needs to be attached but not covered so that the buttons are still made accessible for changing the setting and stuff. It is not much bigger than the raspberry pi, so I was able to extend the case on the projector downwards, where it will store the raspberry pi ad also act as a stand that I might even make adjustable. I found a 3d printed raspberry pi case that I found online and basically imported it into m fusion file and modified the top panel of the case to mount on the underside of the projector in the box space.
In the images shown there is the raspberry pi file case from the internet that I am using, and a picture of the projector I'm putting in my project. I edited the top panel to stretch it a bit and I added additional mounting holes to attach to the mounting hardware on the bracket. Also shown is the most recent state of the typewriter circuit board. I have now soldered all that I can and I'm just waiting on a certain connector and resistor that I could not find in the shop.
