Just ordered a new prototype PCB from @oshpark!
This one is a heart-shaped 40mm Fibonacci with 74 HDR SK9822 2mm² addressable RGB LEDs. On the back is a footprint for a #Pixelblaze Pico from @benhencke, and pads for a necklace battery holder from @geekmomprojects.
I cannot wait to assemble and test this one. I will, of course, post pics & video when I do.

Fibonacci HDR Heart stencil arrived from OSH Stencil! PCBs from OSH Park are scheduled for delivery today! 🤞

Fibonacci HDR Heart PCBs arrived from @oshpark! 💜
I laser cut some 1.5mm acrylic to make a jig to hold the PCB and stencil while solder pasting.

Fibonacci HDR Heart first light! 🤩
#RGB magic provided via a #Pixelblaze Pico by @wizard mounted on the back. Magnetic battery holder by @geekmomprojects makes it into a necklace.
Still need to work on the pixel map, diffuser, and back cover.

Fibonacci HDR Heart LED mapping is sorted, much better.
Now to work on the laser cut black LED acrylic diffuser.

Fibonacci HDR Heart laser cut black LED acrylic diffuser and back cover done. Next I need to design the bezel.

Assembling two more, and did a much better job with the solder paste this time. 😁

Looks like I need to rework those tiny wayward decoupling capacitors.

@Blenster aww, thank you Ben! ❤️💚💙
I'm so lucky to have you as such a great friend. I hope you have a wonderful day!
