Currently spending too much of my free time designing a robotic dragonfly (anisopter?)
We're heading to an educator conference at the end of the month, hoping to teach some STEM teachers to solder at our booth.

After being inspired by what other's have done with @oshpark.bsky.social's after dark, I threw together the design for a sick new soldering badge with twinkling LED stars.

My first ever flex board has arrived from @oshpark.bsky.social! Not sure I've ever been this excited for the inevitable discovery that I've made a series of mistakes.

Component day for a new prototype PCB!

It's pretty overwhelming to try and keep track of 40 or so bags of such teeny tiny things. How the hell do EEs manage?
