At Hardware Happy Hour Portland we welcome anyone interested in any kind of hardware from beginner to
expert: Arduino DIYers, engineers, hardware start up founders, e-textile experimenters, LED-curious folks,
3D printing enthusiasts or robotics geeks.
If you're working on something even vaguely related please do bring it along. No presentations, no pitch
decks, just projects and conversation.
Join us and nerd out about electronics!

So I finally got around to getting everything together for the @defconnextgen.bsky.social Youth Soldering Kits (PCBs from @oshpark.bsky.social once again!). I spent $701.43 on parts/etc. if you want to chip in: $Blenster on cashapp. Here's a picture of this year's transparency report spreadsheet:

A screenshot of google sheets showing no donors signed up yet and costs and links to the exact parts that have been ordered for the youth. At the bottom are pictures of the two invoices showing where the money went.

Of the $701.43 a total of $262.65 was spent on battery holders, $125.13 on 500 AA batteries, $7.56 on 280 resistors, $174.96 on 1,050 blue LEDs, $21.01 on tariffs, $57.75 on antistatic bags, and $52.37 on taxes and shipping at digikey.

Finally got a prototype luster fired a year later & it feels good! Yeah, it’s ugly (first time working with porcelain & first time water etching), but there’s an @oshpark.bsky.social circuit board I designed in there & it feels good to realize my vision of conductive glaze as a switch. #pottery

Main Planchette update = a decoupling capacitor :) The URL isn't live yet; website updates are still pending, but hopefully by the time testers arrive from @oshpark.bsky.social , it'll be ready. :) Original tutorial is on @hacksterio.bsky.social – www.hackster.io/glowascii/ou...

My @oshpark.bsky.social PCBs arrived. They are part of my #kicad project to create a #KIM-1 #65c02 computer replica, with a twist. I started with the original schematic but broke it into SMT modules. Each module is a castellated #PCB "stamp" for a larger main board that I'm finishing up.

@oshpark.bsky.social yall are goated; these pcbs are gorgeous

A hand holds a small printed circuit board with a large copper pour labeled “PxIBoard” against bright yellow black-eyed Susan flowers and green foliage. The PCB features a cute white dino design in the center and includes text reading “a project by kieran”.

A hand displays an after dark printed circuit board densely populated with multiple identical led pads, each labeled “SK6812” with alphanumeric designators (like D1, D2, etc.). The board has dozens of small square components arranged in a grid pattern. The background shows the same yellow wildflowers as the first image, creating a natural outdoor setting for showcasing the electronics.

Did you donate to the @defconnextgen.bsky.social soldering kit fundraiser by my dear friend @rayredacted.com? DM me your preferred handle for the back; half the boards will have some handles on them (the other half are already being produced by @oshpark.bsky.social - they are donating 250 PCBs!).

Hi Kieran!
That's really cool! :D
I think we can help out. I've made a few LED matrix boards in the past, and have a special affinity for them. :)
Would you like our regular purple mask, or the clear mask over black substrate where you can see all the traces underneath? We should have some picture examples of that one here https://blog.oshpark.com/tag/

Thanks,
Chris
