I& #39;m actually kinda excited to have a lot of time for prototyping new things, I missed that in the travel madness that were the last two years. I& #39;m now actively fostering that mood to help me ride out the current madness. Here& #39;s what I& #39;m gonna build:
The photo above is just a camera effect (a & #39;tiny planet& #39; projection of a 360 photo shot by @JakubKoziol). But that inspired me to build an actual Wobble Sphere. It& #39;s happening!
The PCBs I designed for the Wobble Sphere just arrived!! The back sides were just blank, so I decided to ask @caiitlinz to create small abstract drawings for them. They came out so well! Once assembled these faces are hidden, like little art Easter eggs https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☺️" title="Smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face">
We& #39;ve got first light!! The Teensy 4 is powerful enough to drive the installation at 300+ FPS https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Smiling face with sunglasses" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with sunglasses">
Modeling a connector for the tiles in @adskFusion360 & PrusaSlicer https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨‍🔬" title="Man scientist" aria-label="Emoji: Man scientist">
3D Printing...
Here& #39;s the connector. It& #39;s tiny!
Clipping the connectors into the PCB. I& #39;ll probably iterate on the connector design some more
It& #39;s coming together! Next step: soldering the tiles on the pads along the edges for power & data https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨‍🏭" title="Man factory worker" aria-label="Emoji: Man factory worker">
All soldered up! Next up: LEDs
Everything& #39;s workingggggg! So happy right now https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd face" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd face">
