great launch day overall but whew... the delta between what it costs to make something as a small co right now and what people think something should cost is.... not good

Some life updates: 1. I'm working as a full time dev on The Light Phone! This has actually been true for the past ~year as of Monday I am officially employed by Light. I'd been a fan for a long time and it's a dream to work on these devices. This company really walks the walk.

I've been feeling guilty about posting only short-form clips about my more recent projects. It's important to me that everything I do is as open as possible. So I'm going to try to start writing things up again here, and I'm hoping to get some real YouTube stuff posted soon. Feel free to sub :)

When URLs go IRL: AKA The only way I'm letting my kid near YouTube

I built a system that allows my 3-year-old to select videos from a printed binder using a cheap QR code scanner. No remote, no distracting thumbnails, no YouTube app at all! Here's what I did.

I drew the legend @itseieio.bsky.social for secret santa this year so I made him a handheld, consolized version of One Million Checkboxes. It's still multiplayer, the units sync up wirelessly! the LEDs up top show you which checkbox is currently selected

Handheld game console made from a custom black PCB. The top left says OMCB2GO in gold. The top right has a large power switch. There are twenty blue LEDs which are used as a binary counter in the top center. There is a large glowing checkbox made from circular LEDs in the center. Below that are three buttons, one to scroll left, one to scroll right, and one to check or uncheck the current box.

I am obsessed with the fact that you can put ~60 lines of Python onto a $2 WiFi microcontroller board and get yourself a IoT sensor complete with custom hostname and HTTP endpoint. Works great with Home Assistant if you use the REST integration!! Shoutout always to @circuitpython.org

Screenshot of an IoT sensor template for CircuitPython. The actual code will be linked in the following post.

For the past few weeks instead of reading the news i have been making a handheld game console. It has a 1.7" display and a 400Mhz CPU. The front is a trackpad. It does not go online. It does one thing (plays Go), and hopefully does that better than anything else that fits in a coin pocket.

Unexpected data leakage: I threw a BME680 in kid's room so we can keep better track of temps as it gets colder. This is derived from the gas sensor. Can you guess when we left our daughter in bed and when we went to go grab her in the morning?

Graphy showing air quality in our nursery for the past 20 hours or so. It's relatively noisy until 7:53 PM and then goes very stable until 6:20ish AM, which is exactly how long my kid was alone and asleep!

I've had very good experiences with the common I2S (INMP441) and now PDM (MP34DT01) MEMS microphone modules, but I am left wondering: are there no unidirectional (or at least, more directional out-of-the-box) small, embeddable mics?
