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.

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.

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.

I have one in stock now, should have another this weekend.

Sensor Watch @crowdsupply backer update is live! In which we announce that the first 500 boards are headed your way, show off the PCBs — looking fashionable in bright red soldermask — and mention the shout out that Sensor Watch and @MakeAugusta got in last night's @adafruit live show! Plus a demo of the gorgeously animated Wyoscan watch face, and 2 BONUS watch faces, shipping with every Sensor Watch Lite board, hidden behind a new gesture. You don't want to miss this one! https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/sensor-watch/updates/sensor-watch-lite-shipping-soon-check-your-shipping-details

After several failed attempts using a complicated technique, I successfully sewed a simple pattern to make a SMD resistor phone case. I forget to fully include the seam allowance in the size computation, so it just barely fits my phone. It makes a nice set along with my PTH resistor glasses case!
