As someone with a tenuous grasp on soccer rules and who watched half the game seems to me like the refs gave significant help to England vs Norway. Thoughts?

How to play guitar:

Working on a new @microchip-makes.bsky.social ATmega32U4 board. How does it look so far?

George Conneely's ATmega-controlled, midcentury-style soldering fume extractor uses a pair of Nixie tubes salvaged from an RAF Tornado fighter jet.

Looking for a video producer for a series I'm potentially doing for a contract. Any suggestions?

Purifying a Harbor Freight case (seriously, stop with the stickers ON the case)

Because, why not? www.techadjacent.io/p/3d-printed...

Have been working on longer-term projects as of late. Which is good generally. However, it’s also harder to know whether you’ve had a productive day or not since there’s not always a clear dollar sign attached for whatever portion of X that you’ve done.

Artifact 85 is a freeform circuit sculpture built as a four-track, 16-step sequencer and synthesizer that runs entirely on an ATtiny85.

New canal network plan to bypass the Strait of Hormuz:

Here are some pictures of the mech in the daylight!

Latest 3D-printed failure. Drill holder lasted ~5 years though.

Jigs: very important if you don't want to pull your hair out trying to assemble lots of the same thing - www.techadjacent.io/p/the-3d-pri...

3D-printed ~1.5 gallon PETG jug finally disintegrated:

Considering how to charge a USB battery pack that's used to power a synth. Would this setup basically act as a UPS, powering it via USB when plugged in or battery when disconnected? I don't see why not, but seems too simple:

New (enhanced) design uses ATtiny85 to cut power to MOSFET pins for ultra-low power operation w/ servos. Using a 4-layer board w/ power plane divided out into switched & non-switched section. Thoughts?

3D-printed drain extension in action (+ zip-ties & golf balls)

Needed an extension for my drain. Didn't want to go to the hardware store. 3D-printed solution... Also, golf balls.

TFW you go to check up on a proposal you sent out a week ago and realize you forgot to actually attach the PDF to the email🤦‍♂️

Lots of blooms on my Barbados cherry tree

A bit of planning:

Looking for Teensy 4.0/4.1 projects that I can potentially feature in an article I'm writing. Anything I should take a look at? Bonus points if it's something that really takes advantage of the Teensy's impressive processing/memory stats.

Plumeria plant leaves coming back nicely. Note golf ball ground covering:

Unfortunately I'm still updating my @tindie outage timeline: www.techadjacent.io/p/tindie-out... It is mostly working, but $$$ disbursement is not.

Yes, you can just 3D print screw threads [and they turn out surprisingly well] www.techadjacent.io/p/you-can-ju...

Endangered species that I saw on a trip to South Africa in 2024:

Latest PCB design. ATtiny85 carrier board w/ MOSFET to cut off power to two pins for extreme low-power usage:

Got that one wrong, lol
