I’m working on a woodworking project that required cutting a lot of triangles. I came up with using a corner clamp with my miter gauge to make a little jig

@DrFerrous @blitzcitydiy thanks! I had been mulling over how to do it efficiently all week

all week they've been doing what sounds (and sometimes feels) like very serious construction work in the apartment above me. if they play their cards right they might succeed with coming thru our ceiling today.

Last night I saw Dinosaur Jr live for the first time. They are one of my absolute favorite bands of all time and it was incredible

i'm really proud of this compass project i just published: https://learn.adafruit.com/qualia-s3-compass

it's coded in and i put a lot of work into it to make sure it was functioning accurately while also looking nice with this round display. this required a lot of math and displayio graphics tricks that will hopefully be a helpful example for folks

@todbot when I was trying to figure out the bitmaptools rotozoom I came across your examples (asteroids and the fuel gauge) and they were incredibly helpful

Quick phone recording of a cat piano jam with pedals 🐱 🎹 ✨

the actual jam is fairly mediocre (quickly sketched up for more keystep practice) but i kind of love the visuals created with a picture of my friend's cat 😅

One more cat piano mod for meow- power indicator LED. 3D printed a mount for it to match the button color scheme

A slow change RGB LED mounted at the bottom of a toy cat piano. The on off switch is being toggled and when it is on the LED lights up

would any followers be interested in a stream where I do a basic kicad walk through twitch stream? targeted at either people who haven't switched from eagle or just haven't made the dive yet?

More cat piano things. I didn’t want the feline keyboard to become a storage burden so I modeled a hanger that fits into the hand grip on the back. I brought a picture of the back into fusion360, scaled it and then traced the grip shape.

I finally got around to doing some modifications to the trash cat piano I found a few weeks ago. The batteries and battery section were completely corroded so I changed up the power to be USB-C and 3D printed a new battery compartment cover. I also removed the built-in speaker and added line out. Next I want to add either MIDI or CV in but so far so good
