Sorry, I've run out of PixelBlaze Picos! I'll order more, but won't have them in time for V day. 😞
If anyone really wants a kit and has their own PixelBlaze Pico, DM me!

Yeah, to be fair I didn't realize I was down to only a few PixelBlaze Picos before posting that. 😅
Thanks! 😁

I just dropped your 14mm Fibonacci48's off at the post office, I cannot wait to see what you do with them! 🤩
Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything.

I'm so glad it made it, and that you like it!

I was looking at my previous pinned post and wondering why I hadn't used a grid of videos instead of still photos. I think this is much better. 😁

There was a problem with the SVG->Kicad conversion, have some cleanup to do on the next rev. All the HASL should've been covered with solder mask.
This was a test to see if the outline & small parts would survive, which they did. Shows more fine detail than the test I 3D printed with a 0.4mm nozzle.

Gods, that took me like 20 minutes. I really should have recorded it, kept yelling RELEASE THE KRAKEN! I'm exhausted and need a cigarette. So many tentacles.

OMG the 20cm Kraken test PCBs finally arrived. They've entombed them in heat-shrink bubble wrap, and it seems very in-character that they do not want to come out. I'm having to very carefully cut them out and untangle them. 😅

My smallest, highest-density piece so far: 14mm Fibonacci48.

Thanks! Sorry for the trouble. Sometimes the mounting screw connections to the touch pads can be finicky, might try tightening, loosening, or pressing it inward.

This looks amazing! Wanna trade? 😁

Not that you asked, but here's a phyllotaxis distribution of 1024 LEDs in a 50cm disk 😁

It's great. I'll always love Tindie, but unfortunately Lectronz is just better in every way. It handles currency conversion, sales tax, VAT, duties, payment via Stripe, it's still under active support & development, doesn't throw 504 errors every time I try to make updates, etc.

I've updated my Mac power adapter tester app. It still supports the CLI, but now also has a web server / page option! Reloading the page shows any changes to the connected adapters.
The CLI can now generate an HTML page in addition to XML, JSON, and Markdown.

My Ryobi 40V USB-PD adapter is finished. With several of these batteries combined, I now have ~600Wh of portable power.

I threw together a quick command-line tool for displaying USB-PD information about the power adapter connected to a MacBook. The output is much easier to read than the mess provided by ioreg.

TIL you can use a MacBook as a USB-PD tester with this command:
ioreg -arw0 -c AppleSmartBattery
In the XML output, there are entries under AdapterDetails/UsbHvcMenu.
The MacBook adapter lists 5V 2.96A, 9V 2.98A, 15V 2.99A, 20V 3.39A.
This power bank lists 5V 3A, 9V 3A, 12V 2.5A.

And what, blind myself?! It's an art display, not a Bat-Signal. 😅
I always limit brightness in the firmware, but I've built them with MeanWell 350W power supplies and fuses to handle the max ~31A current draw of solid white at 100% brightness, just in case.
