If anyone can guess what the project is, you win a couple of LEDs, some nuts and bolts and some wire, which will help me clear my desk.

Hm, something controlled via 8 GPIO pins......... nope, pass. That's all I got.
is it so you can tell what windows and doors are open in your house?
a kind of alarm/remote house monitoring system?
I can see one composite video connector and a 3.5mm jack which I'm guessing are outputs. I can also see at least one USB port and another that looks like it might also be a USB socket but it is smaller than the first and there is a larger socket between the two which I am guessing is a power input. That much suggests Raspberry Pie type circuit board.
The main part of the picture however, with the ribbon cables and LEDs, is the bit I am unsure about, but I think there are 26 of those red blocks and each of them looks like it has an LED connected to it, so I think the LEDs will end up being poked into a board with something like the alphabet on the other side for a game for children to learn the alphabet maybe. Or possibly for a control panel that controls a number of different switches and has LED indicators to show which are active and which are not and then the Raspberry Pie could be used to automate/program the activation/deactivation of the switches.
That IS a Raspberry Pi, the raspberry on the PCB sortof gives it awayOriginally Posted by KeyboardDemon
I'm going to say an LED clock
I'd say 6 GPIOs, two wires snipped on the other end - not that this helps
Looks to me like:
RPi (headless) - Arduino? - ICs (multiplexers?, LED drivers?) - switches & LEDs
Points to something that controls and displays the status of stuff hooked up to the network.
Launch control for 25 rocket powered internet garden gnomes?
Variable speed limit control for the M1?
It could be converted into doing this
A visible reminder of pre-microcircuitry days?

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!

Basically yeah.
Are those relays you can see the back of?
toggle switches were my thought.
Which makes me think old school computer of some kind, an homage to altar?
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Automated trainset?
Is it just a more elaborate version of this?
You're so so close, it's not an altair, but another one from ages ago when we lived alongside dinosaurs.
NatWest ATMs?

Not the IMSAI 8080 clone? (Though cloning the clone has a kinda meta-ness to it I like).
