I got my SAO boards in for #supercon, and, since I didn't leave enough time for revisions, a bodge wire is required. I'm just relieved it's fixable. Since SuperCon starts on Halloween this year, the "SAOuija" is nicely thematic. Still working on the code. I'd […]

Just set up a small wearables exhibit for this weekend's #bayareamakerfaire. I'll be giving workshops today and a talk tomorrow as well, so it's going to be a (fun) busy weekend!

Getting ready to bring some Bendy SAO boards to @crashspaceLA tonight for a presentation with @alpenglow where well show off some fun PCB projects. Attached the SAOs to the SuperCon 2024 badge and it's giving strong Medusa vibes!

I'm belatedly getting around to showing off this **GORGEOUS** crochet hat the uber talented @alpenglow made for me. She integrated a pebble light string and #pixelblaze controller. It's all powered by a flat top 18650 with a clever charge/discharge circuit […]

Just finished sewing a new sling bag with a 32x18 LED matrix inside the pocket flap. The pocket flap snaps off so the matrix can be used in other designs. The #pixelblaze controller and battery fit nicely inside the front pocket

The diffusers on the new LED polyhedron (dihedral hexacontahedron, right) looked so much better than the first build that I had to print new ones for the truncated icosahedron (left). I also synced up the patterns on both builds (with #pixelblaze) and will be […]

The LED deltoidal hexacontahedron is complete! 60 identical PCB sides covered with 3D printed diffusers. Two #pixelblaze controllers work in sync to provide a fast frame rate for patterns on the 1200 LEDs.

New LED polyhedron build is underway. The video shows two halves of a dihedral hexacontahedron which will have 60 identical kite-shaped sides. This is the third PCB-based polyhedron build in a row, and each one is an improvement. These 3D printed tile covers […]
