For this December I got myself the #BlueBrixx Stargate 1994 Advent Calendar. It's been a lot of fun to put together over the past days, and being reminded of the story. Here's the first 4 builds (Days 1 - 5)

🚨 NEW PRODUCT KLAXON 🚨 Introducing Badgeware - the next generation of wearable, hackable badges from your friends in Sheffield-on-sea. Now with tough colourful exteriors, built in batteries, and much, much more... <3 badgewa.re

I will personally give a free ticket to the next GitHub Universe to the first person to share a UF2 with a playable version of Doom for the GitHub Universe 2025 badge

All set up at #AssembleDerby25. Come say Hi!

I'm excited to share that I'll be at #AssembleDerby25 on Oct 25th, showing off my JWST Mirror and Stewart Platform projects! derbymuseums.org/event/assemb...

On the way home from Tramlines, I popped into @pimoroni.com towers for a visit and showed off the Giant Unicorn Hat. A big thank you to Pimoroni for supporting me with this madness. I thought it was fitting to take some photos in the factory. Plus it was nice to catch up with Jon, Paul and crew

Time to update my banner picture to the newest project 🪩

WAVE (Webb-Inspired Actuated Visual Effects) in action earlier today at #LiverpoolMakefest

On my way back from a great day at #LiverpoolMakefest. Thanks to the organisers for putting on another great event! I hope everyone who came by enjoyed what I had on show.

All ready to go for today's #LiverpoolMakefest. Come along to Liverpool Central Library and see my newest project, WAVE in action!

The many me's are looking forward to seeing everyone at #LiverpoolMakefest tomorrow! 9am -5pm, Liverpool Central Library

It's the little or not so little details that make or break a project :-) #GiganticUnicorn

I just want to reiterate how excited I am to show off this project! It is unbelievably cool!!!

We have rainbows! 64 old school Pimoroni Unicorn hats #GiganticUnicorn

I'm really excited to show off my newest project at #LiverpoolMakefest this year! Here's a little teaser

Had the pleasure of visiting @pimoroni.com yesterday, it was great to see their impressive offices, got to visit the Solder Party product shelf, and we even got the second place in a pub quiz 😁 Thanks Paul, Chris, and Niko!

Thank you to the Jam Makers, Show & Tellers and our talk presenters for a great jam, some very cool "show & tell", and talks. Finally not forgetting the attendees. It's our community that make #CamJam great

And of course @zodiusinfuser.bsky.social is showing off his Lego! #CamJam

I had a fun time putting together my second #BlueBrixx set, the Aurora from Stargate Atlantis!

Whoop! 🔥The Robot Makers Almanac is now available for purchase! 🔥 Learn more about this essential pocket reference guide here: www.kevsrobots.com/blog/robot-m... #robotics

I had a fun time putting together my first #BlueBrixx set, the Delta Flyer from Star Trek Voyager! Just need to kit it out with lights and a Tiny FX from @pimoroni.com, to complete the look 😁

I've created a script for the @pimoroni.com presto that interrogates an online AI image generator and generates #synthwave style cityscapes, saves them to sd card, then gives you an endless gallery displaying then every 7 seconds forvever and ever and ever.

BETA LAUNCH - Hey Presto! Meet PRESTO a full colour, 4" IPS, internet enabled, RP2350 powered, display just waiting to be what you want it to be... shop.pimoroni.com/products/pre...

The RM2 Wireless Module for the @pimoroni.com Yukon is now available 😁 shop.pimoroni.com/products/rm2...

Got the back LEDs on this screen working for a nice ambient effect

Met an old post-grad colleague today visiting from Brazil, and got to check out the @shefrobotics.bsky.social lab again. I'm amazed my PhD robot is still out on display! A little bit sun kissed, but still looks functional. I'd do so many things differently if I were to do it now 😅

All credit to Ryan for this awesome screen zone based backlight code. I optimised the heck out of it to get the backlight effect from ~20ms per frame down to ~4.4ms with a 64 sample average for each LED. And as much credit to @rebelmike.bsky.social for the display driver code! RP2350 runtimes!

Day #4 of our Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale is Yukon & Robotics! Huge deals on everything you need to build your own mech army! +100 more deals live - enjoy! shop.pimoroni.com/collections/...

Had a chance to meet up with my friend and play with his hexapod robot today. We work on this like twice a year so progress has been slow, but the software is finally at a point that it can navigate around his lounge pretty reliably!

I lost far too much work time testing the maze game example we wrote for this controller 😬

👋 Hello! I make things like this
