been a while, been busy i've learned that my cardstock, when laminated, feels very similar to a real card (sleeved), so I've designed a proxy for my lootboxes :3 first time properly working in CMYK as well #furry #protogen #mtgproxy

Still, I'm excited for when I can eventually start it. At this point, I'm not intimidated by needing to learn new skills for this stuff, and I've got lots of ideas floating around.

My goal for this project is a fully modular, user-friendly system of components that's easy to source, fabricate, assemble, maintain, and modify. Coming from *very* little experience with parametric CAD, it will 100% take some learning, and will likely only start after my V1 is fully complete.

very excited for when I can start working on my own open-source head base (you know that big project I mentioned a while ago?) This is it. It feels like many of the modern advancements with protogen fursuits have been closed-source, which is understandable but unfortunate.

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 13/09/2026

(This would require processing the frame data on-device, though, and would need some more components from the code it's derived from. My version only includes the parts necessary to send the pre-processed byte data)

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 13/09/2026

Additionally, since this has proven dynamically sending individual frames to the display over Bluetooth with almost imperceptible delay to be possible, this could theoretically be expanded to use proper rendering with shape keys, with plenty of room for expansion for other sensors and LED control

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 13/09/2026

Just finished refactoring the code (driver, pre-processor) to be more modular and user-friendly. all that's left is writing documentation and instructions, and I'll put it public on GitHub ^^ This will be a cool upgrade for any protogen head with a CoolLEDUX panel, and it costs less than $20

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 11/09/2026

this has really been full of happy accidents, because moving it to the pi got rid of the input delay, and adjusting the volume bounds with it installed made the lip sync more accurate/expressive ✨

020

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 11/09/2026

didnt even have to print anything, just popped out one of the gaskets on the face interface out and put everything on that recalibrated the volume limits, did some cable management, and the head is now 100% done!

hes mic'd up and working standalone now! :D solder (and design a housing) time :3 (later this week probably) #fursuit #protogen

this in the video is regular python, but i converted it to micropython yesterday. just waiting on the hardware to test the audio processing, but the idle animations work!

020

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 04/09/2026

Pivot has proven to be a lot of work, but very worth it. I've converted everything to MicroPython (w/ swapping Bleak for aioble being the most time-consuming part), and he can now run on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W. I ordered an I2S microphone chip, should be getting everything done for real next week!

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 03/09/2026

this is turning out to be a pain in the ass, pivot time

010

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 03/09/2026

this function is so useful, holy image/gif data is now hard-coded so it's ready to be converted to an APK!

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 02/09/2026

god dammit, guess i'll have to settle for real eyeballs instead.

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 02/09/2026

the code is coding! need to tweak a couple of the viseme thresholds probably, and then get him mic'd up and put the code on my phone or something, but for the most part, he is 100% complete 👀 tail time

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 01/09/2026

initial battery test very good :D had him running for 4.5 hours and only went down 24%. this should also leave some decent overhead for the LEDs of the armor for the fullsuit eventually, as well as any fans and a raspberry pi if i end up using that for control

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 30/08/2026

i need to get some more super glue in the morning because some of the hot glue keeping the fur on the visor has come off, but that's pretty minor. making the backing was silly because i literally just stuck one of the fins in my printer's photocopier to get a reference

010

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 30/08/2026

few small final tweaks: - vinyl backing on cheek panels to prevent interior light bleed - reattached the voltage controller thingy (green zip tie was not planned) - redid the magnets for the left ear (right) so its more even

(this is also what im going to be basing my animation controller on)

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 29/08/2026

i recommend not using the CoolLED1248 app to upload animations, but instead this python script. (app is individual frames instead of just a gif file, and wouldn't even upload this 21-frame one that i made) github.com/zackmcmurrin...

head done!!! (minus a couple small final tweaks and the animation controller) have at least found a repo to base that off of so i dont have to reverse engineer the protocol ✨ #protogen #fursuit #fursuitmaking

at my gate waiting to head home, with my first class of the semester waiting for me at 12:30 lmao megaplex was a lot of fun! awesome roommates and fun interactions. dont have any regrets about how i spent my time definitely want to come back next year if i can!

it was awesome to meet you in person!

very thankful to have had a guide looking out for me in regards to the various hate symbols disguised as joy and whimsy that were present on the con floor tonight

aaaalmost got the head done but not quite. ran out of time on final assembly before needing to head to the airport will still have my paws, at least. excited for megaplex!

t'was the night before Megaplex and all through the house my dumbass was awake because i forgot my flight is today

Gave the thing a narrative The world has its cruelties; do not become one of them. Keep going. It's going to be okay. It is good to be principled, but it is better to be humane. Second chances are deserved, but third chances must be earned. You don't need to believe; just don't stop moving forward.

almost halfway done ✨ (also got the gray and white segments individually put together)

anyone know what it's called when you're sleep deprived and the constant stream of intrusive thoughts turns off and the only things in there are the intentional ones done a few all-nighters the past few months, and it's something i've noticed, and am very fascinated by

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 05/08/2026

*surely* these will be strong enough for the what would be a zipper and the ears

ioh 🔜 GFM @iohtheprotogen.gay · 04/08/2026

thank you! moment of truth will be when its sewn together and fitted in the visor🤞 though if anything's too loose, i can always add padding
