Here is a mock up of my idea for the only dial you need on your car dashboard :-)

Was wondering how many millilitres in a cup... thanks Google!

I was trying to work out where my printer ink had got to and got this message from Amazon which I've never seen before!

Attempting to track the package on the Royal Mail website doesn't work and I see using the developer tools that their API is giving 429 Too Busy errors :-(

Mancala Machine box completed.

I ordered the 3 acrylic sheets pre cut then drilled lots of holes in them. This was a bit nerve wracking but turned out ok.

Nice to see what it is going to look like and validate the construction method (not my strong point!).

Electronic wiring next.

Proof of concept neopixel ring driven by a RP2040-Zero using a TinyGo program. It seems quite happy running at 3.3V which will make battery powering it easy.

I was going through some of my Dad's stuff to merge his electronics components with mine and I found his resistor storage system 😆

So very practical and absolutely typical of the man - it made me laugh - I hope it does you too.

I'm building a gadget. There will be a RP2040 in charge running a tinygo program. Each neopixel ring will have a button in the center.

Can anyone guess what it is?
