After three and a half hours of pinning and hot gluing the LED string in place, Squishy Dodecahedron is assembled!

New on the Patreon: an exploration of whether it makes sense to manufacture the Feather Low Energy board I've been working on for the Feather Op Amp Lab. I'm not going to lie to you: behind the paywall, my conclusion is that I have no idea. https://www.patreon.com/posts/84016639
Hey you; you're amazing and I'm glad you're here.
I know you may not always feel it but we all see how awesome you are.
Thanks for being here with us.
It's my birthday today; in lieu of a song/LEGOs/etc. what I'd really like is for you to do something nice for someone else. A kind word or compliment, a small gesture to recognize their humanity/worth. Feel free to post about it here:
@joeycastillo let me guess: first one thinks you are amazing, the second one is glad they get to see you, and the last one is bummed they don't get to see you?

Finished mapping Squishy Icosahedron's pixel positions (in its *unsquished* state, at least.) Next steps are to add the #pixelblaze sensor board, embed it inside the icosahedron, and code some motion-reactive animations.
It's 8:45 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me.

@MakeAugusta this flow chart only applies under capitalism.
@eljefedsecurit I do really enjoy redoing my traces to be prettier.

Taking a break before sewing in the LED string, but I stuffed some fiberfill stuffing into the shell to see how it looks. Aside from the slightly wonky zipper, I like the overall shape and feel (fluffy and squishy).
Hey friend; I hope you are enjoying your weekend. It's a holiday in the US; I hope you got some extra time off.
Be kind to yourself; it's been rather a lot for rather a long time now.
I miss you.

The PAM8301 is less than 20 years old, but it is now NRND. In this ‘in memoriam’ episode of the Datasheet Digest, let’s see how the PAM8301 datasheet holds up.
@joeycastillo oof; I've done that one!
Hey there friend; has anyone taken a moment to remind you just how beautiful, smart, funny, and amazing you are lately‽
Because it's absolutely true. I took a poll and the results are in and it was unanimous.

It's 4:33 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.

Measuring the current draw of the LED cuff bracelet is validating my tendency to hoard cables and adapters.
