Cute!!! Love this

mattlake.codes•3 days ago

This is so cool.

kmcmillan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wow! Fantastic! What a lucky kid.

ranmah76.bsky.social•3 days ago

Such a good daddy!

savasyildirimdev.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is cool. But if you only have one marker, the color won’t change. So what’s the default color in that case?

guydupont.bsky.social•3 days ago

Made it so unknown tags (she has bunch of cards from other toys) default to warm white, and there's one card that randomizes the color

The sensor will be coloured in red soon 😬

But seriously; thst’s brilliant.

gijoke.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nice result bravo!

Is that a mini Wurlitzer key note visualizer on the wall?

guydupont.bsky.social•3 days ago

What did you use for the sensor? Do share!

guydupont.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's this lil RFID reader hooked up to an ESP-32. And then I put some NFC stickers on the marker caps!

You are officially the cool dad

quote-unquote.bsky.social•2 days ago

No offense to my parents, but can I be your kid?

8bit.lol•3 days ago

Ideal gateway to show how fun electronics can be if you kid wants :D

words.bsky.social•3 days ago

whats the little color sensing device thats glorious lol

guydupont.bsky.social•3 days ago

it's actually an RFID reader, and I'm sticking little RFID tags onto the marker caps

words.bsky.social•3 days ago

that makes much more sense than the method I was imagining

lezoe.bsky.social•3 days ago

i thought it worked like that too, an ordinary webcam sensor, but if you put it too close to the sensor, it would just block all the light and register as black

words.bsky.social•3 days ago

as an art school casualty i am well aware of how fickle colors are

ratkins.net•3 days ago

You can make it work. Girl at Burning Man came up to me once and said, “I’m going to steal your colour!” then tapped her magic wand on my shirt. Her LED dress changed to my shirt’s colour. It was rad. I think the sensor was from Sparkfun?

soupness.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was trying to figure out how you did this.
That makes sense.

alsolearning.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cool dad!

jellybeansmom.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am 40 and I would like this in my room please.

keepeverythingyours.com•4 days ago

This is so cool! I love tactile and interesting ways to interact with things that have been taken over by phones and screens!

judalicious.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s posts like this that really make me realize…my dad sucked.

keenmaker.bsky.social•3 days ago

😅

tchize.bsky.social•3 days ago

I want to point out that, when I was a kid, I didn't need fancy electronics to change room color with a marker set

msdragonmistress.bsky.social•3 days ago

lol Amazing. Good daddy work.

androidgenious.bsky.social•3 days ago
