DIY Portable Bluetooth speakers

Bluetooth speakers by Luke Brooks
Marginally Clever’s very own Luke Brooks has been working overtime. Not only is he designing a 3D printer, not only does he film and edit all Marginally Clever videos, not only did he help on the Giant Wall of LEDs (coming to World Maker Faire 2015), but he also designs cool portable speaker systems.

Get all the details and the step-by-step pictures on the Vancouver Hack Space forums.

The electronic parts used in the kit are available here:
