so yeah, realized I actually did a big oof in my pcb design, need to mirror all the stuff on the back or the segments light up counter-clockwise...

means a lot of redo-ing but uh.. at least I realised before ordering them...

I forgot to reconnect a bunch of traces in the top left somehow oof. Fixed and sent to a friend to review further

well.. couldn't help myself making some last minute changes. With fresh eyes I realized it was possible to do the routing better, removing the need for the 3 0hm bridging resistors (marked red in picture 1).

also added a link to tilde.industries, product name, and moved a few other things around to make it nicer to solder

fuuuu Im improving my pcb in all sorts of ways now and I wanted to order

now comes the stressful part, doing a full review of the pcb, and then ordering while hoping for the best :>

some more context because I'll probably pin it on my profile:

This is a pcb that's designed to go in the cap (on the outside) of a Dopper water bottle. It keeps track of your water consumption, by counting up whenever you click the button (when you finish your 500ml)

attached image is the backside of this same pcb, which has all the smarts. The black ic on top is a 74HC4017D decade counter. Everytime the button on the front gets pressed, the number stored gets incremented, and for a few seconds power is supplied to the led segment that's linked to that number. When the counter reaches 5 it resets to 0.

so today I got the art design for my water counter pcb, and holy shit is it awesome.
Did a bit more tweaking, and should be all ready for fab now :O

please... could you strawman me into saying I want you to say more strawmen

and this one. Glad I didn't disturb them either

these pictures turned out so nice. Cat was incredibly peaceful, and the combination of sun and picture angle was less of an issue than expected

finally got around to fixing my scooter lighting. During #36c3 I discovered a break in the strip, so half the strip was unusable. Managed to sort of bend it right and then stick in place with lots of cyber stickers.

Redid the whole strip today, and made the lipo+esp32 pack removable, held in place with velcro pads and a not quite tightened ziptie. Really nice to take just that inside for charging

oh and the second artivle links to https://jeanettepurkis.wordpress.com/2018/05/16/too-nice-avoiding-the-traps-of-exploitation-and-manipulation/

getting all sorts of good resources from multiple awesome people
