It arrived! Wasnt so sure about the color but it looks quite sexy in person. Very exciting to be able to test the feel of my game on the actual hardware.
Grats
Finally! I didn’t realize this color combo could look so good.
All of these amazing pictures and combinations. Really makes me want to start playing with the headers on my Pokitto but what to build…
My pokitto is ready with his friends! But what to build
What game is that?
My pokitto finally got to meet (most) of the family. Sadly the second 2ds and the two pis were too busy for photos.
And just in time I have solved the PokittoSim coding problem for you too!
I saw the Arduboy in the pile and then I suddenly realised I’ve seen you before.
There’s a big overlap between Pokitto and Arduboy users.
I found a deck of cards in a plastic case at a Value Village “second hand” store. It cost me about $1. The case holds my “amputated” Pokitto and a small USB cable nicely. The sides, being wider in the middle, makes room for the fold in the USB cable and allows clearance for the power switch.
The cards and case were made by Umbra and a few references can be found via a web search, such as:

I didn’t like that the display is exposed through the front of the case. I kept getting fingerprints on it and was afraid it might get scratched or broken, or the retaining clip would break. So, I made a cover out of 2mm thick clear acrylic. I machined shoulders on the edges so that the cover is recessed into the case opening and rests just slightly above the display. (I made some similar covers for a few more devices at the same time.)
The cover is held on using double sided tape. Because the machined surface is a bit rough, the edges look a bit blotchy but it’s not too bad.
To machine the acrylic, I made a feed table out of scrap wood to use with my Dremel rotary tool with a 115 carving bit, attached to the workstation accessory.
Great job.
I have a question about the press … I have seen these but have not bought one. They are only $54 AUD (about $48 CAD) which seemed almost too cheap to be good quality. What are your thoughts on the quality of the product?
So dapper ;D!
I have not. But nice reference!
Nice cover more involved than mine I just cut a square out of a thin piece of plastic we use at the store to hold signs
You actually can’t tell from the image but mine (the clear one) has a thin acrylic sheet (the kind used for artwork) taped over it. Worked really well and you can’t even see it very well.
Do you get any glare? I’m considering putting a sheet of this thin plastic I have for tracing stuff to make animation cells with because up close it’s transparent but it is slightly frosted to give a surface for a pencil to write on
