I got my SAO boards in for #SuperCon. I didn't leave enough time for revisions, so bodge wire is required. I'm just relieved it's fixable. Since SuperCon starts on Halloween this year, the "SAOuija" is nicely thematic. Still working on code to make messages settable through I2C or push buttons.

Just set up a small wearables exhibit for this weekend's #BayAreaMakerFaire. I'll be giving workshops today and a talk tomorrow as well, so it's going to be a (fun) busy weekend!

Getting ready to bring some Bendy SAO boards to @crashspacela.bsky.social tonight for a presentation with @alpenglow.bsky.social on fun PCB projects. Attached the SAOs to the SuperCon 2024 badge and it's giving strong Medusa vibes!

I'm belatedly posting this **GORGEOUS** crochet hat from the uber-talented @alpenglow.bsky.social. She integrated a light string and Pixelblaze controller. It's powered by a 18650 cell through a clever charge/discharge circuit from @clomads.bsky.social that snaps over the positive terminal. 😍🧢😍

Just finished sewing a new sling bag with a 32x18 LED matrix inside the pocket flap. The pocket flap snaps off so the matrix can be used in other designs. The #Pixelblaze controller and battery fit nicely inside the front pocket.
