'Kay, so! I started this right before a weeklong trip fraught with delays and missed connections. Brilliant as always 😆 Had to switch my @oshwassociation.bsky.social stream slot to ~4am (www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GlD...) due to airline snafus, but am now primed to pick up this thread again!! STOKED

Back in 2021, I used moonstones for Archimedes' backlit eyes. They're gorgeous in regular light, AND give a beautiful texture as LED diffusers! Project page ( @hacksterio.bsky.social ) : www.hackster.io/glowascii/ar... // #LEDs #robot #robotics #CompanionBot #owl
A blue robot owl lies on its side; its eyes are aglow with cyan LED light, diffused into a crackly ice texture by the moonstones.The lights are off; the eyes still look like polished domes of crackly ice.
