Arduinoboy in a soap dispenser (gameboy midi interface)

YouTube via RustyNex — May 26, 2010 — "a customer of mine asked for a pre assembled Arduinoboy, which is not uncommon, but they requested that it be something different. so this is an Arduinoboy built into an old soap dispenser, the plunger is the mode switch.

it was very difficult to build, i had to work out how to wire it so that i could still assemble it inside the bottle, it was a bit like fitting a ship in a bottle. the LEDs for example had to be hot glued and then quickly but carefully pushed inside and pressed into place using a wooden stick. also when looking at the bottle straight on there is a green LSDJ sticker which looks like part of the label from the right angle.

it also supports both DMG and smaller gameboys without external power. it also gives all your music the smell of apples."
