We've got cats in the house! They've available to order now, and we're starting to ship out our backorders! Thx to everyone who ordered and has been patient! We're now soldering up Glowies as they're ordered, so they'll start to ship in 2-3 business days. https://www.alpenglowindustries.com/collections/glowies/products/glowie-cat

Here's a quick demo of the most basic (but still magical) feature of Jumperless V5 by @ArchiteuthisFlux: making connections without jumper wires using the included probe. It can do so much more: adjustable power supply, multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator, logic analyzer, etc.
Pardon the shaky hands, I was extremely over-caffeinated. 😆

This Thursday - join me and @geekmomprojects at CrashSpace in Los Angeles! I'll have lots of circuit board show and tell and we're both bringing fun light-up projects!

Another new pattern for the 8x8x8 LED Cube, creating using the built-in #Pixelblaze by @wizard.

Experimenting with making an illuminated daisy chain by 3D printing snap-on circular covers for a pebble light string and cutting shiny vinyl flowers that fit around the glowy centers.

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 designed by @clomads that snaps just over the positive terminal and minimizes the power circuitry. I'll be seeking out cold places just to wear it!

In disc phyllotaxis, like Fibonacci256, lighting every N LEDs from the center produces a pattern. If N is from the Fibonacci sequence a spiral (or mesh of spirals) is produced because the divergence (angle of succession in a single spiral arrangement) approaches the golden ratio.
