Sensor Watch @crowdsupply backer update is live! In which we announce that the first 500 boards are headed your way, show off the PCBs — looking fashionable in bright red soldermask — and mention the shout out that Sensor Watch and @MakeAugusta got in last night's @adafruit live show! Plus a demo of the gorgeously animated Wyoscan watch face, and 2 BONUS watch faces, shipping with every Sensor Watch Lite board, hidden behind a new gesture. You don't want to miss this one! https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/sensor-watch/updates/sensor-watch-lite-shipping-soon-check-your-shipping-details

I heard you have been waiting for some Sensor Watch Lites from @joeycastillo and @crowdsupply!

After several failed attempts using a complicated technique, I successfully sewed a simple pattern to make a SMD resistor phone case. I forget to fully include the seam allowance in the size computation, so it just barely fits my phone. It makes a nice set along with my PTH resistor glasses case!

Testing @joeycastillo’s Sensor Watch boards for @crowdsupply!

Scenes from Sensor Watch Lite manufacturing at @MakeAugusta!

Informal poll. (Poll in followup post.) I’m almost certainly going to make Sensor Watch Pro next, which adds back the 9-pin connector and some other features. But now I’m tempted to build it for a different watch, the Casio W-217, which is a lot like the F-91W, but bigger and with more readable digits. Call it “Sensor Watch Pro Max” because there are no bad ideas. If I could only make one, which of these gadgets would you be more interested in?

The first ten boards. I suppose I ought to write a backer update right about now. Also: my guys in Georgia are the best. /cc @MakeAugusta

Low-key: the first ten Sensor Watch Lite boards have been made. The good folks at @MakeAugusta loaded up the pick and place today, made one panel and ran through the full test procedure, a not-so-dry run for the 2,000 boards to come.

Last week I shared this with patrons, but today it’s available for all: scenes from the mad dash to get these boards manufactured. Won’t be long now!
