I'm still alive! Recovery has been slow & tedious, and I'm only just starting to get to a point where I can sit up long enough to do anything. It's frustrating to say the least.

At least I have friends who know how exactly to put a huge smile on my face with stuff like this. 😍

Seems I've fallen off the wagon on here a bit, and thought I would give a brief update of what's been going on lately!

Frankly it all started great with my finishing the PCB name badge in time to take to a wedding in Florida, and it was a total smash!

Having your own name in lights really IS the coolest thing. 🤩

I'm thrilled to be able to share that my PCB assembly attempt was successful!! The whole thing lights up and looks SO COOL. And if you're wondering about the MCU, there's an ElectroMage Pixelblaze Pico on the back!

It's a bit hard to believe it, but the first (and hardest) step of getting these custom name badge PCBs functional is complete! It really is hard to understate just how small these components were. Even so, it was weirdly fun and satisfying to place each tiny piece by hand!

It took a hot minute, but I've finally got the whole breakdown of the Dynamax Ball up on my website, complete with these lovely little beauty shots! If you want to know all about this project, it's all here!

I'm getting ready to assemble my Name Badge PCBs, & I want the process to be as easy as possible, so I designed this custom stencil jig. It's simple but gets the job done; everything lines up perfectly every time!

Huge thanks to PCBWay for the amazing PCBs and stencil!
