yeah I am on a podcast 🥳 on PeerTube 🥳
It is in German and a few years old... But paper circuits never get old I guess.

Well, I ordered my first PCB from JLCPCB

I am currently editing my video series about bristle bots. I am really happy to see how easy it is to tune them the way you want.

That is an interesting game idea. A bit to much plastic for my taste. Maybe I should make a paper circuit version 🤔

On top of a messy table is a plastic container full of keyboard switches with one switch resting on the lid, plus a double pack of Raspberry Pi Pico boards. There's a breadboard and assorted junk in the background

There's a lot more noise than signal these days.

Where do the makers and the hackers look for interesting news / inspiration? My RSS feeds dried up a long time ago.

New blog post!

In which I show how I am powering a typical 120mm PC case fan from a USB port to quietly cool my Raspberry Pi cluster.

I got the pcb for the toy!

And it turns out I accidentally used SMD footprints for the diodes. I guess I have to get the right diodes now... At least they're pretty cheap.

Just make sure to get the right type, Marc. And then you can learn to solder surface mount components.

For a costume party I needed a cool pipe. It turned out quite well. Guess who I am ;)
For the glow and smoke I used a red and a yellow LED, and some loose cotton. I am amazed how well this trick turned out.

Packing my DIY encryption prototypes for my workshop at @inselchaos. It's a fun tech-related topic that you can explore with low-tech materials.

I've got an old Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge that, unfortunately, has a locked bootloader (it's a Verizon). Are there still any fun projects I can do with it so it doesn't end up in a landfill? #diy_electronics

Currently filming a tutorial for my light-sensing DIY bristle bots aka mothbots. I got a bit carried away with all the different designs ;)

My new video is online! A short introduction on how to create light-up jellyfish.
I do provide materials for teachers and parents who want to use this for education: https://youtu.be/bs5QjT5yZNU

I’m working on a little DIY tutorial for these illuminated jellyfish. It’s a bit crafty making them, but the electronics are super simple.

I need a 18 pin I2C multiplexer but I can't buy one right now. How hard would it be to fake one with an #arduino Nano? Is there an I2C library I can use to encode and communicate?
