Custom PCB I designed for my alp #pinball machine works. It’s incredibly ugly because I knew nothing about PCB design and meant to use two different chips in the same PCB. But it works. Now I’ve the urge to build a rev that has the signal LEDs and cleans up the garbage. The chip is an ATtiny85.

Both robins have fledged and in our apple tree with parent. We moved the nest now that it’s empty. So long, robins!

Chainsaw Possum, slightly evolved.
