Today's @microbit.org + real time clock workshop went down well 😂

Yay my new robot design is all up & running!

🤖 sorted out the power issues (switched to 18650 batteries, seems to be working 🤞)

🤖 3D printed a connector for the grabbing servo (only took 9 revisions 🤣)

All ready for April's computing club (well, this one is... 15 more robots to upgrade!)

Woohoo my PCBs arrived!

🌬️ Air Quality Monitor breakout board for Science Oxford, in prep for a computing club

🎭 Some round 'learn to solder' boards to use for practice that they can decorate

☕ Shiny teacup board just for me 😂

I was imagining my Christmas decorations, which could be secured at the bulb bits only, but the ones that come on a reel would be much more challenging!
Maybe solder strips of 5 or so instead of individual ones, so there is a bit of flexibility?
Tricky one, look forward to hearing more solutions :D

Happy St Patrick's Day! ☘️

I crocheted an unnecessary number of shamrocks (already given a few away!) because the pattern was very pleasing 😂

I'm very happy with how this year's Computing Club Project is going!

Code is working 🤞 so I'm finalising the CAD workshop.
Waiting for v2 of my PCB so I can transfer the measurements to TinkerCAD for the young people to create their own.

Excited to see what creative designs they come up with 😁

Making the most of my day off by baking matcha cookies to enjoy while I do my Japanese homework!

It's my third time attempting matcha cookies, two different recipes, always bland 👎 (though I doubled the matcha!). They look pretty though 😁🍵
