Current state :)

Very clean looking. Is that lights, temp, ATO, power?

Yes

Looks great, there is a reason I don;t use clear boxes :)

Gonna go with this configuration. I think the box i bought is too small, or maybe just big enough.

Do you guys solder all the connections, not sure how the pi-hats and stuff work? I used oldschool perf board and fleacollars soldering every connection.

Remember you can use the side panels to mount lm2596 modules

I think the pi-hat is just more modular. There is a mount that goes from the DPIO pins to the pi-hat.

That is true. Once i start drilling for the standoff pins, I'll figure it out a bit more.

I solder male header pins and solid core jumper wire within the hat . From hat to other parts it’s generally female-female jumper wires

Almost all my enclosure has many misplaced holes. These enclosures are pretty forgiving

This is pi 2 based build ?

This one is a pi3

Nonsense, they are deliberate "cooling holes" :p

Indeed. They are vents. Great that you added them. You are a smart man.

I noticed a WiFi dongle like thing. Pi 3 has on board WiFi , which is way better , more stable and consume less energy

Wireless keyboard and mouse

Wireless keyboard and mouse

Ooh ... nifty :-)

Ooh ... nifty :-)

Well, i had one available

Hello guys, I don't have any background in electronics so I hope you can help me out. I found this https://circuit.rocks/relay-module-10a-16-channels.html?search=16 channel relay&description=true and was wondering if it will work with reef pi? They don't sell the DJ8 strip here where I live.
