I did a PCB that used gameboy buttons but it took a LOT of force to activate them. Do you use a specific PCB manufacturing technique for them? That looks like ENIG in the render.

And just like that the project is superseded by a clearly Superior method to program it github.com/cnlohr/rv003... Back to kicad I go!

WAHOO! Its always amazing to me how happy a simple blinking LED can make me! The built in S2 works brilliantly to program the CH32V006

Currently working on a DIY server using an existing ATX motherboard. I designed a backplane adapter so I can plug in SATA connectors and slot hard drives in. Currently I'm designing a case using aluminum extrusions and small 3d printed adapters.

Yeah. I'm not sure I'm a Dem anymore. I might just vote 3rd part from here on out. If I'm going to throw away a vote to someone that isnt going to do literally anything I might as well vote for something different.

I also think its important to note that USAID is frequently credited with helping end apartheid Africa. felon is following in his racist father's and grandfather's footsteps.

Oh man, agreed. Pretty wild to think that the first pebble predated it. I guess I never really thought about it

nRF is an excellent idea. I always loved working with it.

I'm curious, why no mention of Espressif or WCH?

Wow, out of curiosity I called the tip line. (866) 347-2423
It is indeed down, redirects to the website and hangs up.

Good! There's too much black and gray in PCB design.

I need to come up with an excuse to make a flexible PCB one of these days. Nice work!

Exciting! I'm looking forward to some of the new features in V9!

Its always 'fun' when you wake up and a song is playing in your head but what really gets me is when a sound effect just keeps pinging around in there. Just the sound effect!
Yesterday my brain just kept repeating the Aiy-ya-ya from the western world in the Lego Movie... Thanks brain.

I've always wanted to diy a cord retractor. The off the shelf solutions always seemed too expensive to me but I cant think of a good mechanism to retract off the top of my head.

For the longest time I kept refilling the same disposable bag of dental flossers because it was labeled as 'high performance'

Sleeping on a PCB design is a good call. Guess how I know that you can add a PCB order to your existing order at JLCPCB at any time before it ships? Its always fun getting two sets of board in the mail and have to immediately trash one because it had some game breaking bug in it.

Number THREE!
This one is to test an idea for an upcoming badge. I need enough Capacitive Touch pins for an entire keyboard. Since I'm locked into an ESP32 for this one I need to multiplex the pins to get enough. There is prior art but I need to test this for myself.

Yeah, not going to lie its been a bit since I looked up this quote and I'm 39. Definitely a little bit shook.

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

Wow! I'm envious. Great price and cool looking piece of kit.

Number two down!
This PCB is a USB-C PD adapter board for the RK6006 PSU board. I would really like to have a small PSU I can throw in a bag that runs off the same USB-C charger as my laptop and pinecil.

None yet. I need to make around 300 meshtastic devices in a few months and this would work great.
Got any budget parallel eink display recommendations?
Also, its great to see your work again! You were one of the people I really missed when I left twitter.
