Blocks With Screens

It's Twitterversary blocks, but with screens and internet. Originally a Fall 2019 Twitter HackWeek project by @johnboiles, @magus, @mikeperiscope, @seanfchan, and @smartfuse.

Tips, notes & corrections:

• To protect the pins, we're shipping with two of the circuit boards attached to eachother. You'll need to separate these circuit boards before following the instructions above. Just gently pull them apart to separate them. They're hard to break :)
• Some of the boards may have small tabs protruding from the sides which may cause them not to fit in the wooden block. This is a byproduct of the manufacturing process. Clip these tabs off with nail clippers or wire clippers.
• Feel free to ask us on Twitter @blkswithscreens if you have any questions or problems!

Components

Blockware

This is the example software that you can run on the blocks. See blockware/README.md for installation instructions and a listing (with gifs!) of the available blockware.

CAD

This contains the various design files building the block hardware. Most importantly, it contains the Autodesk Eagle design files for the 3 PCBs that make up the block. See the README.md in that directory for an overview of the responsibilities of the three different boards.
