Finally, I shot a quick video of my #supercon2023 badge hack while waiting at the airport. I hand-soldered 280 WS2812B-1010 LEDs during #supercon in a resin printed diffuser frame. Maybe not my best idea because it took 1.5 days to solder them together, but I had awesome people around me who kept me motivated. And finally it worked. Thank you all for your great feedback during the con. #hackaday
Thanks to @unwiredben 's example. I was able to switch to C++ for my badge hack and test out an example. Not sure if it's the display update speed (SPI bandwidth limit) or the real time rotation that's the issue, but it's good enough to move on to my project now. #maker#rp2040#Supercon2023@hackaday

Just a little late-night day-before-Supercon making. Coasters, because I think some people could use a daily reminder of this on their desk, and because you and your presence in tech matters to me. At Alpenglow Industries, we give the very classiest of fucks.
Preparing for the Supercon presentation of my portable Vectrex... I feel like on a high level I have interesting stuff to tell, but I'm at the point of presentation building where I go 'this is a mess, no one is gonna like this' to the point of me wanting to throw my laptop out of the window and live my days out with the Amish. I know it'll pass and I'll make it work somehow, but oof, it's no fun. At least I have a 3d print running for a 2nd prototype case, that makes it feel like even if I'm not doing anything productive, something productive still is happening.
