This is a case for Waveshare RP2350-Matrix module: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RP2350-Matrix

Module has builtin RGB LED matrix 8x8, and accelerometer+gyroscope combo. Which allows nice physics simulation projects to it, like water simulation.

Code has fluid simulator, as well as other faces in it. To switch between faces, double-tap the device on the face. To build a complete device, you'll need an appropriate size li-po pouch battery, and optional charge controller, as well as a tiny power switch.

I provide models for two versions:

  • Pro-Max - this one encloses RP2350-Matrix board with USB port, can carry bigger battery (I managed to squeeze in 400mAh), a charger module and a switch. I mounted the switch with hot glue, and desoldered the power diode form the board to allow charging via the main USB-C connector. If you won't desolder the diode, you can set your battery on fire with full USB current flowing directly into it. See the suggested wiring diagram in the github repo below.

  • Air - this is trimmed down version. To build it, I had to desolder the USB-C connector and a reset button. Then glued a PH JST 2mm connector (with pins, male) in place of the reset button. Also glued in the power switch, and wired a battery. The JST connector wired directly to the battery, so external charging module is required to charge this pendant configuration.

The firmware source with the build/flash instructions and wiring diagrams for both is available on github: https://github.com/poconoco/water-matrix

NOTE: I provide models, sources and wiring diagrams as is. If you do not understand the dangers of li-ion batteries and how to correctly handle and wire them - do not try to implement this project. You are doing it on your own risk.
