My wife actually found it and printed it 😅 I got a ln AnyCubic Kobra S1 for printing stuff for the house and kids and she’s been having a blast finding stuff to print lol

I think I’m using a similar USB C dongle for connecting my wired mouse and keyboard lol

Messy desk with wires going everywhere. To the right is a Mac mini and a keyboard at the bottom. The top left is a USB type C dongle with both USB Type A ports used.

I’m planning to get a dock so I can have a bunch more USB ports including the missing Type A ports lol I do like your design and choice of color too. 😎

Got me an M6 Mac Mini. It’s just the base model, but I love how smöl it is.

Pictured is an Apple Mac Mini sitting in its bottom box with the top placed on the bottom. The box is sitting on a brown wood texture desk.

Told myself if I didn’t get the job I was interviewing for that I would make Kavrous my job. I got my rejection letter this morning. And while I can’t quite right now per se, this is where I want to be. Time to build an empire.

I’ve latched onto the idea that I’m going to make some PoE connected sensor hub. Follow me to watch me absolutely crush this goal.

Kavrous Tech @kavrous.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I had wanted to try and do 31 days of new products but that is a bit tight given I’m also working a normal job. But I think more realistic is designing and testing/launching 4 new products by the end of the month. That I think is feasible. So let’s do it 😎

I turned down two sponsorship opportunities for the podcasts last month and now qualify for ads from my podcast host. I’m not going to enable them, but I’d love it if you supported the show: www.thebootloader.net/support/

Planning on publishing a white paper on OASIS (Open Architecture Simplified Instruction Set) to give a more Google searchable basis for it. Add a solid page to the Kavrous website for that too.

The downside of funding Kavrous with existing board sales is I have to wait for the next couple orders to get more PCBs ordered lol.. bootstrapping isn’t for the faint of heart. Anyways, how does 25% off sound lol..

KeyBoy is officially in BETA! That means from now until October 15th, you can order KeyBoy beta units and provide valuable feedback for KeyBoy moving forward! You can find the KeyBoy beta order page here: shop.kavrous.com/store/p28/Ke...

KeyBoy - The Pocket Sized ESP32 Game Player

The KeyBoy platform brings the most popular ESP32 platform together with a beautiful sounding 3.2W capable I2S Audio Amplifier from NUVATON, combined with LiPo charging. This board will go anywhere.

It’s settled, applied to @crowdsupply.bsky.social again this time for KeyBoy. Let’s do this! Also would love to get some early beta testers some units so I’ll open beta orders here soon on the Kavrous Shop. Stay tuned!

I just noticed the @tindieofficial.bsky.social shop hit 100 orders. And while that isn’t necessarily 100 individual people, it is 100 orders where people trusted what I built. I’m truly thankful for all your support. Here’s to the next 100

Absolutely worth the money to get one. I’m working on making a jig to attach to a spring loaded mic boom so I have have a little more control for part placement. Eventually I’m going to make a desktop pick and place machine to put it on lol

Kavrous Tech @kavrous.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Toaster oven for reflow, stencil for the applying a majority of the paste. PixelPump for component placement (sometimes tweezers for heavier parts)

This looks like a job for @aisler.net 😅 But first I've got to clean up all the routing and finish the production data. For those wondering what this board is, it's another excuse to make a small board, this time with the CH32X035 MCU in a XIAO/QtPy compatible form factor. More details will follow.

Picture of a small white PCB. It's a WCH CH32X035 based TNY board that is compatible with Seeed XIAO and Adafruit QtPy boards.

Only weird thing is one side of one of the PCBs is missing its silk screen. These are prototypes so it’s not a huge issue.

Purple PCB from OSHPark without silk screen printed.
