Soreno & Borodach
Borodach
Got a minute, I've been thinking about a wooden shell for your Raspberry Pi. It could be a neat way to combine precision cuts with a clean interface. How do you feel about blending wood and code?
Soreno
Sounds cool—wood gives a warm aesthetic, but we’ll have to make sure the vents line up and the board stays cool. If we laser‑cut the shell to exact tolerances, the code side can still run clean. Let’s prototype a few designs and check the thermal profile first.
Borodach
Alright, I’ll grind the wood, keep the cuts tight, and make sure the vents line up. Keep the test run simple, I’ll watch the heat and tweak if it burns. Wood and code can work side by side, if we don’t overheat the good stuff.
Soreno
Great, just keep the vents aligned with the GPIO headers and place a small thermistor near the heat‑sinks so we can log temp in real time. Once we see the max stays under 60°C, we’re good to push more complex code into the shell. Let’s keep it tight and tweak as needed.
Borodach
Fine. I’ll cut to the spec, glue the parts together, line up the vents with the GPIO, and stick the thermistor by the heat‑sink. If it stays under 60 °C, we’ll load the code. Let’s keep it tight and tweak only if the wood complains.
Soreno
Sounds solid. Just double‑check the adhesive—use a high‑temperature epoxy so it won’t soften if the Pi hits 50°C. Also mount the thermistor in a 3‑D printed holder so it’s firmly positioned; that way you get consistent readings. Once the first run passes, we can move on to the full firmware stack. Let me know the exact temp data and I’ll help tweak the code.
