I forget I have the laser cutter sometimes, was handy today for prototyping a pcb to see what a physical fit will be in a case. And yes I left the little logo in still 🤣

Lectonz has created threshold pre-order campaigns to help open-hardware hardware creators gauge the market before spending too much money! lectronz.com/u/lectronz/art…

First of the yeah, oh joy. I really wish there was a good work around for this when you know the hardware is good.

It’s all rock and roll in our house on a Saturday night. Packaging products up for orders :-)

We’re planning some decorating and my wife did some testers on the wall, inadvertently created a homage to the Microsoft logo 🤦‍♀️

More great work

I've finally finished the new #ReflowMasterPro oven calibration & characterisation system for the 3.0 firmware release. Here are some screenshots of the process showing the 50-100C range, but the system also characterises 100-150C and 150-200C. #maker #coding #projects #reflow

Tried @JLCPCB pcba last week and damn I’m impressed. 8 days from order till delivery. Not sponsored I should add was just impressed with the service and cost!

Revision two and all working, now to see how much it'll cost to get made!

Fantastic project!

More progress to report on the ESP32-S3 ZX Spectrum open.substack.com/pub/esp32zx/p/…



Also found the build plate tossed on the floor by the printer for good measure. I’m sure it was seeing how many failures it could get in one failed print.

Thankfully only making simple boards today but damn I forgot how long it takes using hot air vs even a basic reflow oven. Should have broke out the hot plate maybe!

Safe to say the new thermocouple I put in my reflow oven isn’t reporting correctly…

I bought one of these addressable LED curtains a while back and I've finally got round to having a bit of a hack around: atomic14.substack.com/p/interesting-…

When your friend asks can you put a few tails on a connector then drops this on your doorstep when your out. How many connections!
