If you’re a California resident, be sure to vote in the upcoming special election! If you need a little bling to get you motivated, we’ve got you covered with both ready-to-go small pins and solder-it-yourself kits! Kits are 50% off and assembled pins are 25% off. Happy voting!

Phew just snagged mine in time 🫡

It's #HackOClock! Going live in a few, to figure out whether I can #repair my old Aftershokz (now Shokz) bone-conduction headphones... I use these all the time with Libby & Libro.fm ✨ // #electronics #hardware #maker ▶️ youtube.com/glowascii ▶️ www.twitch.tv/glowascii ▶️ linkedin.com/in/alexglow

Tuesday evening update going live! Immersive audio testing, my discontinued faves, custom #KiCad components, (ham) #radio, and sticker designs (help me decide!) ✨ // #electronics #hardware #maker #PCBs ▶️ youtube.com/glowascii ▶️ www.twitch.tv/glowascii ▶️ linkedin.com/in/alexglow

I'm working through an exercise in a book so earnest answers only, please! Do you know of a physical location that fits all of these criteria? (cont.)

Keep meaning to come back to these Halloween-flavored KiCad footprints, but I'm also trying desperately to get a minimal new PCB &/or some stickers shipped in time for Supercon 😅 So here's a peek; hopefully I'll develop them some more (then link w/ schematic symbols & share) in the 10 days left!

...ok but GORGEOUS?!!?! 🤩✨

This panel scrap is a great demo that FR4 can actually be used for many situations where you need something flexible. This will not last long in a living hinge but for one time bends that are held in place this works well. Its 0.4mm you can get down to 0.2mm which flexes much more than this.

Oh man!! I designed a whole set of #KiCad components with a #Halloween theme as I was winding down last night, and only just remembered about it. Will share soon lol 🎃🛠️✨
