Adafruit 8×8 Trellis Feather M4 Acrylic Enclosure + Hardware Kit

A super-specifically-laser-cut enclosure that turns your 8×8 ‘Trellis into a handheld light/music maker! Perfect for your next cool interface, MIDI instrument, control panel… whatever could benefit from a glow-up with an elegant black and white enclosure and with beautiful diffused colorful buttons.

Note: This is only the plastic enclosure and hardware!

To complete this project you’ll need also:

• 1 x Adafruit Feather mainboard. It’s designed for use with any of our Feather boards (except the FONA) – so you can pick from

  Bluetooth

  ,

  WiFi

  , high speed, etc. For CircuitPython use, the

  nRF52840

  or

  M4 feathers

  are recommended. For Arduino use, any of them will work.

• 4 x

  Adafruit NeoTrellis RGB Driver PCB for 4×4 Keypad

• 4 x

  Silicone Elastomer 4×4 Button Keypad

• Optional but recommended!

  4-pin JST cable to simplify wiring

If you’d like to make the board portable (say you’ve got a wireless bluetooth or WiFi feather…)

• 1 x

  Lithium Ion Polymer Battery – 3.7v 500mAh

• 1 x

  Mini Panel Mount DPDT Toggle Switch

Some light soldering is required! You’ll have to solder wires to the switch as well as to the Feather.

• 1 x Black Acrylic Cutout 1.5mm thick
• 14 x Clear Acrylic Cutouts 3mm thick
• 4 x M3 black nylon spacers 15mm long
