We’re happy to see most of you on the elephant - the community we’ve found thru #electronicstwitter and #makertwitter is amazing and wonderful. We’re thankful for all of you, and onto more making and sharing in 2023! And LEDs. Lots more LEDs.
We’re also thinking of doing a Discord server - just another way for people to share what they do with our stuff and ask questions and find resources, as well as an easy place to find out what we’re up to. Would you join yet another Discord? :)
I made a cuddly dumpling bot that keeps you warm! 🥟 🔥 Perfect companion for the end-of-year season 🥰

Forgot to announce the winner yesterday! There were 3 correct answers (some were via dm) - and 🐘axwax@fosstodon.org wins the random drawing and resistor bender! Honorable mentions to 🐘smitty@mastodon.halibut.com and 🐘borisbuilds@alpaka.social who also got it right.
Some of the test Wednesdays. It was my first time engraving a photo, and the photo was very dark, so I learned a fair bit about image adjustments in Lightburn . Also interesting was the big difference in color between the two sides of the… mstdn.social/@alpenglow/1095…
ALT test images of Wednesday Addams engraved with a laser with different settings. Some are light. some are dark. Color is a medium yellow brown.

Wow nothing like cross-posts from mastodon from the past 2 days all coming in at once… just a reminder that this is no longer our primary platform. #electronicsmastodon is where we’re at!
I crocheted this resistor on the livestream this morning with 🐘anu1905@post.lurk.org!
What value and tolerance is it?
Pretend the last black stripe is brown.
We’ll pick a correct answer at random tomorrow Fri 🐘10am@mstdn.social Pacific,… mstdn.social/@alpenglow/1095…
Notes:
- the space in the stripes really should have been between green and blue.
- beware how the chart you look at displays “multiplier” and how you interpret that! I actually got it wrong on the stream because I was thinking of… mstdn.social/@alpenglow/1095…
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Thurs) morning at 10am Pacific we’re live-streaming with 🐘anu1905@post.lurk.org ! Join us as we crochet a resistor and talk about electronics and also her gorgeous moon phase and period-tracking calendar PCB! piped.video/watch?v=eNhbQj…

I can finally show you what I made yesterday on #Pewsday ! It’s a little something for a gift exchange in a maker group that started up during? just before? COVID and happens to meet on Wednesday. Her eyes have holes for red candle flicker LEDs, making… mstdn.social/@alpenglow/1095…
