Updated "My Computer" specs in my profile.

Looks like a good plan ,I wondered why they put it in a box ,giving that the Hat is actually the best part of the Voice activating servos and motors . ..

Switched to plan B with my AIY kit. I want to be able to easily connect servo's etc for testing tinkering. That just isn't possible when its in the carboard box / case. I put the Pi in the Pibow case I recently bought. It's a Coup case that's good for attaching Hats etc. That's mounted to an old Nintendo hard plastic mouse pad that has nice rubber feet on the bottom. Lots of room for what ever I attach. I mounted the microphone board with some tall metal standoffs. I won't be using the big button that came with it. I'll use the harness with my own smaller button and my own LED and resistor. I have some nice big 10mm LED's that I could use. I have two low profile rectangular speakers out of a TV I can use too. Just have to figure out how to mount them. That's for another day though, backs getting sore so time to quit and take a break.

thats sounds like it should work, I had a Pi free week-end in Halifax .and i will have a Pi free rest of the week, My wife's mother passed away in March and will be buried on Thursday, so my Daughter and 2 kids will be coming how tomorrow til Saturday ,we only have 2 rooms ,so she takes ours and we convert the computer room to a air mattress bedroom .

I'm going to try mounting my speakers in the open beam, then bolting "that" down to the pad. I should have enough pieces for that. I was going to play with it over the weekend but got sidetracked. Mothers day and it was her birthday.

Clutter is my middle name:)

Just have to find my round2it. Been really lazy the last couple of days, and some other stuff taking up my free time. I need a nice sunny warm day where I can spend a few hours out on my deck in the fresh air.
What I really need to do is clean up my work area so I can do some work. I've let things get way to cluttered.
