Progress! With the help of @geekmomprojects's brilliant design, I've mounted the flexible Fibonacci128 PCB onto a 3D printed bracelet, and covered it with laser cut leatherette. Now I need to stitch the sides.

Been meaning to share images of this gorgeous piece that @maketvee made. It's hard to communicate how lovely it really is IRL.

Tumbling toward the finish on Sensor Watch. I couldn’t order the last parts for this manufacturing run until I tested the new crystal and load capacitors. This time I’m using a GPS-disciplined oven controlled crystal oscillator, a frequency counter, and a n 8 Hz output from the real-time clock. Ideally I would like for this number to read 8.000000000 Hz precisely — but being off by 2.4 parts per million isn’t exactly a *bad* start. Trying again…

How many times do you run DRC on your boards before generating your Gerbers? 😵🥴😵‍💫

The jumperless breadboard is now a real thing you can have!

And most importantly, they come with a glittery pink USB Mini cable.

Jumperless is up in my Tindie store here (or make one yourself, it's all open source):

Is this the world's first RGB breadboard powered with #Pixelblaze by @wizard? 😁

A simpler, passive version of their impressive, truly Jumperless breadboard: https://github.com/Architeuthis-Flux/Jumperless

It has 80 WS2812C-2020 addressable RGB LEDs, one under each row of the custom, nylon SLS 3D printed breadboard. It also has custom breadboard spring clips with solderable tabs on the bottom.

Blinky was so stoked on their first hike yesterday that they begged to do another one. OK Blinky, let’s get ready for your first alpine high-altitude hike, we’re going to Little Lakes Valley!

Blinky is on their very first camping trip to the Eastern Sierra! Follow along with their adventure, they had a big day full of firsts!

New project log on the Open Book’s @hackaday page! This one is a deep dive into four-year old miscalculations, the cost of making a gadget and the margin required to make it sustainably, and how two different versions of the Open Book have tried to thread the needle. I poured heart and soul into this one. https://hackaday.io/project/168761-the-open-book/log/221370-the-quest-for-a-sub-100-diy-e-book-reader/

What did you do today? I got to teach the First Lady of the United States how to Solder.

Mega super thanks to @MakeAugusta for these panels of Oddly Specific STEMMA-QT LCD boards! This is a new variant of the LCD FeatherWing, but instead of a Feather form factor, if has the STEMMA/Qwiic connectors that we all know and love. Testing one panel of 10 tonight that I’ll have on the Oddly Specific shop this week; after that, I plan to reach out to @adafruit to see if they want to stock them as well. We made 250 of them, which feels like a respectable first run :)
