I wrote a little comic about #opensource hardware and serviceberry foraging! I'll post all the panels here, but you can also read the whole thing on @archive.org : dinalab.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Honeycomb pattern, one of the preloaded ones on a Pixelblaze LED controller by electromage @bhencke.bsky.social

I made a really cool LED wall project for my house last week - spruced up an ugly black fireplace with 1035 LEDs and a Pixelblaze LED controller. Check out the full story and project progress on mastodon: mstdn.social/@alpenglow/1...

A silly idea that turned out well! Most flex PCBs are cut by laser, not milled, so you can make perforations by adding incomplete edge cuts. These disks are for cleanly joining LED strips at different angles and different radii, and they break apart with just my fingers, no other tools.

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

I have enough pieces to fill an 11×14" shadowbox now. It's all coming together 😁 I'm still a bit worried about fit and precision (or lack thereof) on these tiles, but gosh they fit nicely so far. Need to get more hot glue though.... So that's *two* things I had to buy in order to complete this.

I made some high-temp silicone molds out of Mold Max 60 and have begun casting Moroccan-style zellij tiles out of my years of accumulated PLA scrap. They are very fun to play with.

Another pillow demo, running different patterns (there are 20 options), with different music. This was part of the #makergiftexchange that I did with some friends, and the first sample is shipping out today to @geekmomprojects.com

The stickers have arrived, thank you! #makergiftexchange They're even more shimmery in person - I look forward to using them to encourage people to "do it, coward!" (including myself)

Introducing my new light up pillow ...

Our #makergiftexchange happened on Wednesday, another moment where I'm bowled over by just how creative my friends and colleagues can be. My contribution was an inside joke. Did you know that, in Shenzhen, they'll let you print whatever you want on those shiny holographic security stickers?

SO. I’m developing a kit because I have a feeling that maybe other people might like to add LEDs to their crochetwear? What do you think, would you crochet with LEDs? I’ll do another post soon showing you the inside, maybe another little vid. More shout-outs to my electronics homies -

I’m so excited that I can finally show this to you all! I’ve been working on it for a while, as part of an annual white elephant #makergiftexchange that I do with some friends every year. This time I went for the full cross-over and made a #crochet LED hat.

@slugworlds.bsky.social holy shit, how do you already have over a thousand posts here, how did I miss this

I almost called this model "oh look at the time, it's gender o'clock" but I went with a more clinical title in the end. But check it out, it's a fun print! www.printables.com/model/585949...

NOOOOOO my favorite 8-bit microcontroller, the ATtiny20-UUR, is officially Not Recommended For New Designs 😭 1.4×1.6 mm of perfect adorable computation

Hi! I am still burnt-out on social sites at the moment, but it's nice to be here.
