I have some thoughts on the PAM8301 Datasheet.
Check out the latest episode of #DatasheetDigest.

I know it's still rather a lot out there in the world and boy it feels like it has been that way forever now.
It's been years of unrelenting stress and it's OK if you feel the weight of it all; that's only natural.
You're not alone. We're all in this together.

It's 10:28PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive.
I'm proud of you for making it this far.

This surprisingly simple 3D print design by @settinger is SO clever!!! His post is here: https://indieweb.social/@settinger/111088483376902408 and contains a link to the printable files.
@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.
