Back to the succulent pillow project - time to sew all the pieces together! I'm figuring it out as I go along, as this is my first time sewing crochet, and the pattern I'm using doesn't really have any guidance.
i really should replace the white material with something thinner but this is the idea - when I need the wheel (for the heaviest cargo) then I disassemble this, pop it onto the cargo trailer, and now it's ready for whatever the heaviest load is it'll ever handle.
I had a thought of making a second one of these things - I have another training wheel. I could make two.
Ugh, an intensive day with too much sitting, fully immersed in circuit work.
The ramp up with #KiCad tools was very smooth. I didn't find any roadblocks in #schematic capture, part coding, #PCB layout, nor cleaning up DRCs. The tools have come a long way since my last use in 2021! Pleased!
A scan through manufacturability tomorrow and the full cycle is complete. Yay #FOSS.
Making goddamn SURE that any gorilla can yank the cable out of this QWIIC socket and it won't come off the board unless the solder itself fails #electronics#maker
@diyelectromusic, since you're into embedded tech and microcontrollers, you may appreciate this one.
It's a Real-time Operating System kernel I wrote in C and Assembly for AVR chips. My intent was to learn about how operating systems interface with hardware.
I'd like to rewrite it with #Rust and finish the task scheduler.
I dedicate this model to those who love Zelda TotK and have access to a multi-material 3D printer... That might indeed appeal to a rather niche audience 😅
I designed it using Open Source software only: GIMP for cleaning bitmap images, Inkscape for converting them into vector graphics, OpenSCAD for assembling them as 3D volumes, and OrcaSlicer for sending the result to the 3D printer.
I've started writing up my thoughts, design, and development thinking for an ESP32 based sort-of-educational pseudo-analog synth toy/hack/plaything meant to be used with a breadboard for extras.
I'm probably tempting fate by posting about it at this point, but I had several posts in draft so thought I'd hit "go" on them anyway.
When I get the actual boards back, if the posts all suddenly disappear, you'll know it was a bit of a disaster!
#maker#patentlaw question: If I see an object in the wild and I can figure out how to make or adapt some feature from it in my own designs, is that patent infringement? I make and sell bags and often see neat things out in the world (eg, a particular closure mechanism or way of rigging convertible straps) that I’m interested in incorporating into my own work, but don’t want to 1) be a bad person and 2) have any hostile attorney-type conversations more than absolutely necessary.
#VisibleMending is not only for #clothes. This #colourful#handbag with abstract roses helped me against dark winter days. Suddenly I discovered this terrible hole and decided to mend it. It was not easy to find the fabric (more in the Alt texts) but I saved my handbag! 😊 And now it's a unique piece of individual design! @visiblemending@sewing
I've been seeing earplug earrings in the "cool/weird earrings" and EDM scenes, but I hadn't seen a detachable version. Since I make and wear different earrings constantly, and I have specifically nice earplugs, I made my own with some cute anodized findings I had. Works a treat.
No I don't sell jewelry online. I sell lasercutting files and consign locally in Portland, Oregon, USA. If there's interest I might write up a tutorial tho.
