That's awesome.
Have you ever seen it with a real case, not just the acrylic "cover"? I'd like to be able to hand it to someone and not worry about the guts. Yea, I could print something, but frankly I can't be arsed, lol.
Mine didn’t come with a case, it’s a very simple circuit so not much concern of ESD causing a problem.
It basically just runs power through every pin on the cable to illuminate corresponding LEDs.
Oh, for sure. Just non-tech friends give me the squint eye when I hand em things like this (I'm known for using duct tape and goop on stuff, haha).
