come find our table in the dark room at MakerFaire!

a table covered in small led art pieces and a sign saying “starduststorm”

i makea the penta

a tall stack of panelized printed circuit boards stands on a desk, each panel made of four circle-shaped pcbs with an inscribed pentagram made out of pixels.

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!

A hexagonal-shaped circuit board with many parts on the surface clustered into one corner. A url reads github.com/starduststorm/motionhexa

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".

I recently revamped this art project for a festival that happened a few weeks back. My friends made the structure and interactivity and I did the lights! I really like these aquarium crystals as refracting diffusers!

well it’s got some issues but i can do charging UI now:

my first seven functional prototype hexas in enclosure. i lucked out that seven is a complete hexagonal number. hat tip to @sequoia.farm for help with the front case design!

seven hexagon-shaped led devices are shown, each displaying a different design. there is one (bottom-left) with only three pixels lit, a red, a green, and a blue, as if the pixels are bouncing around. there are three (from top to bottom) that are showing a concentric hexagonal design in green, red, and blue. there are two displaying swirly colors of green, gold, red, blue, and purple. and last showing a scattering of pixels of pink, blue, cyan, magenta, purple, and white.

Each device is enclosed in a 3d printed plastic case. They are sitting on a table.

So in the meantime I redesigned my hexagon controller so that it fits neatly in the corner on the back of the hexa, leaving room for a nice large rectangular battery that can fit compactly inside a case.

pictured: the back of a hexagonal-shaped circuit board, with a triangular circuit board attached in one of the corners and containing a variety of controller circuitry.

new microscope just dropped, here's the ws2812b 1010s. what? the mosfet is messy and appears to have been rotated? no nevermind that it's fine nevermind that now look the pixel package is so transparent u can see right through it
