@claushoumann I'm more active on BlueSky and I've been dealing with a head cold this weekend so I'm tired.

@joeycastillo I'm there with you. There won't be any light at all if we aren't shining any.

Surprised and delighted to randomly see my LED Mapper tool used, along with #PixelBlaze by @wizard, in this absolutely brilliant LED mask build by @Seanhodgins!

@JeanieBurrell thank you for your kind words!
Good morning beautiful; I hope today goes as smoothly as it can for you.
There's a lot going on out there but we're not alone. Together we can make it through this.
I love you.

Finished V2 of the truncated icosahedron, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. The sides are 32 hexagonal and pentagonal PCBs, joined by 3D printed corner connectors and covered with 3D printed diffusers. The pixels are mapped and it's running 3D animation patterns on a #pixelblaze.

Back from vacation to find some new shiny holographic stickers waiting for me. Which do you prefer: glitter on the left or solid on the right?

Truncated Icosahedron project rev. 2 is in progress, and I'm much happier with this version. It's less (but still somewhat) fiddly to assemble and has 3x the LEDs!
Today is a good day to tell someone (not me) how much you appreciate them being in your life. Tag them below or just tell me you did it; let's show some community support.
We're going to have to rely on each other to make it through this.

Hey soldering kit makers! Struggling with new coin cell regulations and have a pile of PCBs with coin cell battery holder patterns on them? I made a thing for ours that converts them to USB power, maybe it's handy for you. Ship this instead of a CR2032 holder and boom, your kit no longer contains or uses a coin cell, no compliance needed. It's designed for side-slide style holders (SMT or through-hole) and easy to solder.
It's 9:20 PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive.
Seriously. Thanks for being here with me now.
We're all in this together.

If you order a Lux Lavalier Heart pendant now I can't promise it'll arrive by Valentine's Day, but I will upgrade it to priority shipping & try my best.
Powered by #PixelBlaze by @wizard, a small & mighty Wi-Fi LED controller with live-code patterns!

Oof, I was just reminded of how much I miss tiny drone racing. I still have several and all my gear, just need some new 1S batteries.

Headed out to the Portland Winter Lights festival. I have adopted a "more is more" aesthetic for the evening.
