Building a Briefcase that Deploys Code
Hi Folks,
This week’s post is a project that I’ve been working on for a little while now. It’s a briefcase that deploys code, in the spirit of the fabled briefcase that follows any POTUS around.
This project began as a “What if?” that snowballed. At its core, the project is a hacked Amazon Dash button. The project slowly came together over the course of a few weeks and is in use at my day job, Gusto.
It turns out this is a fun project for those (like myself) with little hardware experience. I’ve included a list of parts needed to build one yourself in the post.
Special thanks to my father, Chris Sutton, for helping me out with the project.
Special thanks to Danny Grant, Iheanyi Ekechukwu, Justin Duke, Sihui Huang, Ryan LeFevre, and Amelie Meyer-Robinson for providing feedback on early drafts of this post.
