Another mega presser event
The top three mega presser sessions 567 + 190 + 701 = 1458 of a total of 4675 button. In other words the top three times accounts for 31% of all button presses

Hmm. the positions.csv generated by the Fabrication Toolkit plugin looks to be correct. 0.0 Rotation.

So is there a problem with #JLCPCB import?

The London Metro #PCB maps arrived.
They look so pretty, but they do not work

After some debugging with @tomkeddie.bsky.social it looks like there is an issue with exporting the CAD files from #KiCad 9.0 to #JLCPCB components got rotated in the export but are fine in KiCad

$300 Pretty paperweight

New project: Cipher Decoder Ring #PCB
A modern 'decoder ring' using advanced stream #ciphers (ChaCha) github.com/funvill/ciph...

A #3DPrinted "safe" style dial will be added to the front. Stateless - The secret pass phrase and message is entered using the rotary dial. Lots of #LEDs, #RP2040 #PCBArt

New PCB Day. Fresh from JLCPCB.

Capacitive touch, synth, using a seeed studios Xiao board.

I have never panalized boards before. Good first impression. Considerably cheaper. 30x boards for $8 shipped.

A Rhombic Dodecahedron panel for my 3rd shape in the #Polyhedron Mobile PCB Lamp project. 280 LEDs per panel, 12 panels, 3360 #LEDs... About 4.5 times more LEDs then I have ever used on a project. MORE LEDS

1. KiCad PCB Editor.
2. Go to File > Import > Graphics.
3. Select the DXF file.

This produces a geometry that is many times larger then it should be. Also the geometry doesn't look right

Didn't work

My Digital Stained Glass Windows project from 2018
blog.abluestar.com/projects/201...

Each panel is made of black and sign acrylic cut on a laser cutter, then I used insulation foam for the dividers between each cell. I made 25 of these. Check out the video

Failed prototype of a paper craft LED sculpture. It was suppose to be mounted on the wall and the LEDs would slowly run though different patterns

Never liked it. It never felt like it was ever done. tossed it out

The map is connected to the Metro API and can visualize the trains moving across the system live.
