Wowowow! Husband got me a jumperless for the holidays :o I'm so stoked! What a beautiful piece of hardware that @architeuthisflux.bsky.social has created Excited to shirk my other projects and play with this lol

I was showing my mom the ways of using Adobe's own products against them to get a student discount and this happened

Please let me name your baby

It's the time of year where I get to show off all the cool things our friends make! Check out the 2025 Alpenglow Gift Guide and find something fun for that electronics nerd in your life (and maybe that's you!) www.alpenglowindustries.com/pages/2025-g...

First one to guess what the hell is going on in this video gets a high five.

This is the sort of nonsense you end up doing when trying to support existing hardware rather than just selling a new revision.

Move aside @adobe.com, there's a new drawing app in town...

Seeing all those LLM CLI tools having those fun block character title screens made me want my own. And no, I didn't have an LLM make this, just 6 hours toggling pixels in Photoshop. Pixel art is such a hyperfocus black hole.

Oh no! Ants got into my lab and are all over my breadboard. Luckily, it's the species commonly found in circuit simulators to visualize current flow. They finally broke out of the simulation onto real hardware. Good for them.

Whatever you think this is for, I promise you it's more ridiculous than that.

My hobby: putting cap sense pads in everything and then never actually using them

I need to reorder another batch of Jumperless V5s so of course I had to change something. rev7 will have 2 sets of wiggly friction-fit OLED headers on the main board. And you can scoot it over to the right when it would be covered with an Arduino or the Raspberry Pi adapter or something.

omg finally, the feature everyone wanted on the OG Jumperless like 2 years ago. Wire colors on the breadboard now match the ones you set in your @wokwi.com project!

Quick demo of the most basic (but still magical) feature of Jumperless V5 by @architeuthisflux.bsky.social: making connections without jumper wires. It can do so much more: power supply, multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator, logic analyzer, etc. Pardon the shaky, over-caffeinated hands. 😆

I know I'm late to the @architeuthisflux.bsky.social Jumperless V5 party, but this thing really is brilliant in every way! 🤩 Get yours: www.crowdsupply.com/architeuthis...

Kinda crazy how easy it is to bust out one-off PCBs with a sharpie and some liquids

This object continues to get sillier...

men will literally do whatever this is instead of using a slip ring

Some echinoderms can evert their stomachs to digest prey outside of their body. Here we see a starfish eating a selector switch:

Be not afraid of The Recursive Knob...

I don't remember ordering this JDI MIP display (like an off-brand SHARP Memory LCD), but drunk Aliexpress Kevin really knocked it out of the park on this one.

Holy shit youguise, I think I cracked it. Serial passthrough in 5.3.1.0 is now totally asynchronous and doesn’t even really need the main CPU, it’s all handled in interrupt context (by overriding the irq handlers provided by SerialUSB and SerialUART). github.com/Architeuthis...

Whoever's leaf blowing outside deserves an Oscar for Best Comedic Timing in a Supporting Role They Were Unaware Of

Doomscrolling a packaging supplier's example styles has me like a kid in a candy store, except that last one, I can't open it because it's a child safety box.

I just made a silly little VSCode extension that colors your code based on how old it is. Kinda handy if you're constantly Ship of Thessuesing a huge scatterbrained codebase like I am. github.com/Architeuthis...

"Hey let's make sure this stock photo hand model doesn't make us a meme and hold the soldering iron by the metal bit by just turning it on for the shoot and setting it to a bajillion degrees."

If you are at @bsideslv.org this week and enjoy my open-access writings on the Jumperless hardware developed by @architeuthisflux.bsky.social, be sure to check out the raffle and silent auction. I've donated a Jumperless to both! bsideslv.org/raffle & www.patreon.com/collection/1...

www.jrpanel.com Okay turns out you can just get membrane keypads made for crazy cheap. I always assumed you could (and probably still would ask Elecrow to deal with them on my behalf), I just didn't expect there to be a JLC-style online ordering setup. Now I need to come up with some silly nonsense

Wait, are Frensel lenses just sine waves with the upper bits missing?

I learned two new techniques for customizing 3D models: cutting the model and dropping it through the build plate in the slicer software. www.patreon.com/posts/3d-pri... #3dprinting #patreon #bambu #jumperless

Okay I think it was worth the better part of a day, but the jocs website now (mostly) color matches the MicroPython syntax highlighting on the Jumperless. And I added some new stuff about jfs (Jumperless File System) and generally made everything prettier and like ~10% more helpful. jumperless.org

Someone tipped me on Ko-fi immediately after opening their Jumperless V5 and it gave me the most hilariously dystopian idea.

@ArchiteuthisFlux My Jumperless V5 came, it’s beautiful and smells like cardboard and dreams.

I made this specifically for @settinger.net but felt I couldn't deprive the rest of the internet of this nonsense.

Youguise holy shit, Jumperless finally has website for docs! I've been meaning to do this for like two years. jumperless-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Development in 2025 is like 80% making AI not sound like a total douchebag.

My #jumperless + #BusPirate all pimped out and ready to party! @buspirate.bsky.social @architeuthisflux.bsky.social

Unboxed my Jumperless from @architeuthisflux.bsky.social recently. It's absolutely beautiful and packaged so well. You can read about my unboxing experience on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/132126.... (The article is open-access) #opensourcehardware #jumperless

I continue to cook with this frame dumping nonsense. Now you can pipe the state of every LED on the board in real time to separate USB endpoint, and then the OLED to yet another, so you can basically have two external monitors for your Jumperless.

Language barriers can be so fucking terrifying, this is my injection molded cable supplier.

I just added font support for the V5's OLED and I'll give you one guess what the default font is.

Now that I'm pushing the line from "firmware" into "operating system" territory, I figured I'd give JumperlOS something any self-respecting OS needs, a color picker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=shE6...
