@joeycastillo that's a hard decision to make; I've had several really fun and cool projects that are absolutely not going to be products I make any money on.
@jasoncoon She knows the game she is playing and she is not interested in losing.
@jasoncoon he really has.
@jasoncoon @JoeBeam I had the same thought
@jasoncoon antifascist Star Wars is best Star Wars.

You know what's easier than building a pogo jig with proto board? Just buying one of these handy clips from @adafruit. 😁

Works great for boards with header pins like this #Pixelblaze Pico by @wizard. A jig is still useful for boards with pads like the Fibonacci64 HDR.
It's 9:08 AM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me.

@jasoncoon that's far more legible; I may have to do that for mine.

A while back I made a label sheet for my iFixit Mako driver kit, since the labels molded into the foam are super hard to read.
Downloaded the PDF, converted to SVG using @inkscape, cut & etched out of card stock with my laser.
I got asked to make one for the Minnow and Manta kits, so I've added the SVG files here: http://evilgeniuslabs.org/ifixit

The recent flurry of sewing projects has come full circle. It started with a crossbody bag that looked like an addressable LED (https://mastodon.social/@geekmomprojects/110929578697233525)
Today I sewed a zippered tote bag (no electronics, but still cute) that looks like a standard LED. I think it's all out of my system now. Maybe.
