## Build your own!

Building `deej` is very simple. You only need a few cheap parts - it's an excellent starter project (and my first Arduino project, personally). Remember that if you need any help or have a question that's not answered here, you can always [join the deej Discord server](https://discord.gg/nf88NJu).

Build `deej` for yourself, or as an awesome gift for your gaming buddies!

### Bill of Materials

- An Arduino Nano or Uno board
- I officially recommend using a Nano as it offers a smaller form-factor, a friendlier USB connector and more analog pins. Plus it's cheaper
- A few slider potentiometers, up to your number of free analog pins (they're around 1-2 USD each, and come with a standard 10K Ohm variable resistor)
- An Arduino Nano, Pro Micro or Uno board
- I officially recommend using a Nano or a Pro Micro for their smaller form-factor, friendlier USB connectors and more analog pins. Plus they're cheaper
- You can also use any other development board that has a Serial over USB interface
- A few slider potentiometers, up to your number of free analog pins (the cheaper ones cost around 1-2 USD each, and come with a standard 10K Ohm variable resistor. These _should_ work just fine for this project)
- **Important:** make sure to get **linear** sliders, not logarithmic ones! Check the product description
- You can also use circular knobs if you like
- Some wires
- Any kind of box to hold everything together
- Any kind of box to hold everything together. **You don't need a 3D printer for this project!** It works fantastically with just a piece of cardboard or a shoebox. That being said, if you do have one, read on...

### Thingiverse collection

With many different 3D-printed designs being added to our [community showcase](./community.md), it felt right to gather all of them in a Thingiverse collection for you to browse. If you have access to a 3D printer, feel free to use one of the designs in your build.

**[Visit our community-created design collection on Thingiverse!](https://thingiverse.com/omriharel/collections/deej)**

> You can also [submit your own](https://discord.gg/nf88NJu) design to be added to the collection. Regardless, if you do upload your design to Thingiverse, _please add a `deej` tag to it so that others can find it more easily_.

# Community showcase

This is a showcase of `deej` versions built by people around the world. If you built yourself one of these things, I'd love to [add yours](https://discord.gg/nf88NJu)! Either open a PR or contact me on Discord.
This is a showcase of `deej` versions built by people around the world. Many of those who featured their builds here regularly hang around in [our Discord server](https://discord.gg/nf88NJu), so you can ask them any questions you might have.

We've also gathered many of the community-created 3D designs featured here in a [Thingiverse collection](https://thingiverse.com/omriharel/collections/deej) for your viewing pleasure. Feel free to use them for your own builds if you have access to a 3D printer.
