I have more hexagons on my tindie store still, check them out here: www.tindie.com/products/sta... And if you ordered one from me last week, it'll ship out this week. Thank you for your patience.

I just uploaded case stls to motionhexa repo at github.com/starduststor... for those who wanted them! The front cases I have made so far are home-printed out of marble PLA and the back cases are shop-printed out of MJF Nylon.

This little motion-sensitive 75mm Fibonacci256 prototype might be my favorite new thing I've made in a while. This was totally inspired by @starduststorm.art's brilliant "The Hexagon" which you should definitely go buy instead of waiting for me to make more of these. 😁 www.tindie.com/products/sta...

hot off the presses i have made a hexagon out of a single circuit board, down from two. now it has an rp2350, a new motion chip, and many other improvements!

Making a neat little macropad that can live in your usb-c port. I call it Key-Gle - the keyboard dongle. Based on CH552 which is new to me and learning a lot from vibe coding the firmware. Encoding a config blob into 128 bytes is super interesting work so it can be updated in browser without compile
The Key-gle sits atop a finger tip presenting 3 tiny buttons with 2 even tinier buttons between them. A usb-c plug sticks out the back with it's pick-n-place cover still on. The whole package fits nicely within the first inner knuckle and tip of the index finger.Looking from the side - a Key-gle sits in the right USB-C port of a black Macbook Air while a bright orange/red cable is in the left port. The Key-gle's RBG led on the back of the PCB is set to blue and reflecting off the macbook. A web interface using a "neobrutalist" design language sporting thick dropshadows has a hero header with KEY-GLE text subheaded by hardware information like serial number and firmware version - a green button shows the device is connected and the row of orange settings forms like boot layer, double tap speed,  LED brightness slider and an led timeout option. below the hero is 3 rows representing "layers" their color, and the three button actions on that layer.

I made this hyperboloid years ago when LED strings were only available with 10 cm spacing. The old LED string broke, so I restrung it with higher density pixels, and am playing with 3D patterns on the Pixelblaze controller.

hello yes my copper planes are roughly circular with an area of 15393804123 micrometers^2 and a dielectric distance of 0.0000000000000000001585506 light years what is their capacitance please
A screenshot of a capacitance calculator on a website showing a dropdown menu listing units for a field called "Distance between deflecting plates". The dropdown menu has an unusual variety of units including "Light Year," "Astronomical Unit", "Earth Equatorial Radius", as well as tiny units like "Picometer" and "Angstrom", then also "Yard" and "Mile".

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

programming in C means you will want to put unsigned types in your code because you know when a thing should always be non-negative but then you will regret doing that

A signal still from an anime depicting a man with black hair and glasses. He’s labelled “WS2812”. He gestures to a butterfly labelled “random noise” and asks “is this signal?”

If you’ve used WS2812 LEDs you’ll know a good sneeze can light them up 🤣
