#115 / 2025-04-14 at 19:46

Had this idea for a big plant holder above my dining table, but I won't actually build it because I'm looking to move out

#114 / 2025-03-25 at 23:13

#113 / 2025-03-23 at 05:35

It's in a functional state! I just need to re-map some keys and print some more keycaps

#112 / 2025-03-22 at 18:17

#111 / 2025-03-22 at 18:16

#105 / 2025-03-12 at 01:49

Desk ops. Yippeeee!

#97 / 2025-03-03 at 23:01

Working on a keypad & PC-unlocking function for my desk

#96 / 2025-03-02 at 15:32

With the power of God and anime on my side I gave each pixel in my friend's cloud ceiling a coordinate, so now I can write effects with that!

#95 / 2025-02-24 at 21:31

#94 / 2025-02-24 at 16:22

Making custom keycaps

#93 / 2025-02-23 at 15:07

Progress is being made on Adolla v2

#92 / 2025-02-22 at 19:08

Working on a custom keypad as a gift for a friend

#91 / 2025-02-13 at 21:17

Working on Adolla v2

#90 / 2025-02-13 at 00:46

#89 / 2025-02-05 at 01:18

V2 is now functioning! It's even got a status LED to indicate the status between "low battery", "connecting" and "connected"

#88 / 2025-02-04 at 22:03

#87 / 2025-02-04 at 21:46

#86 / 2025-02-04 at 21:46

Still not finished with my kobo clicker

#85 / 2025-02-04 at 16:21

Steve Jobs' vision is nothing compared to mine

#84 / 2025-02-03 at 23:35

#83 / 2025-02-02 at 20:46

Learned to hook up a battery to an esp32 and read out the voltage today!

#82 / 2025-01-30 at 02:56

Printed a blue keycap for a blue effect on the bathroom LED controller

#81 / 2025-01-29 at 03:59

#80 / 2025-01-29 at 02:13

And I got an RFID reader, so I'll be able to get started on my desk control panel soon. I want to unlock my PC with my house key

#79 / 2025-01-29 at 02:05

Printed new keycaps that aren't so dang tiny

#78 / 2025-01-29 at 02:05

Another rotation knob! It's much more rounded this time around, so it doesn't hurt ever so slightly anymore 😄

#77 / 2025-01-28 at 03:49

_huh_

#76 / 2025-01-26 at 02:16

Using the power of debugging, soldering, and salvaging components from other hardware, I was able to fix this ducky light that stopped working a while back! YAY!

#75 / 2025-01-24 at 01:40

New rotary knobs! I might want to round some bits, but I like the idea of having the spokes

#74 / 2025-01-22 at 10:24

The wiring for the ScenePad is much, MUCH cleaner now! (Before and after)

#73 / 2025-01-21 at 04:50

Drastic changes...

#72 / 2025-01-21 at 01:24

Revolutionary stuff happening here

#71 / 2025-01-14 at 23:23

Helped install a new strip on another slanted ceiling, too

#70 / 2025-01-14 at 23:22

Installed new scripts on my friend's cloud ceilings w/ a web server on the Pico to control which effect is running

#69 / 2025-01-13 at 14:51

They appear to work like a charm

#68 / 2025-01-13 at 14:51

Printed new holders for my bathroom LED strip, the previous ones were too thin to get any grip

#67 / 2025-01-09 at 21:59

With the Watch charger in place, I think it's safe to say that the nightstand is officially finished!

#66 / 2025-01-09 at 21:59

#65 / 2025-01-09 at 19:50

And now we wait. It's time to watch paint dry.

#64 / 2025-01-09 at 19:16

Printed the Watch charger module

#63 / 2025-01-09 at 18:14

#62 / 2025-01-09 at 14:55

#61 / 2025-01-09 at 02:52

The Shapr3D drawing feature is just so dang cool

#60 / 2025-01-09 at 01:13

The beeper and second encoder are in! This new encoder lets me control the brightness of individual lights

#59 / 2025-01-09 at 01:13

What a wonderful job I've done re-wiring

#58 / 2025-01-08 at 20:45

Beep beep, Richie

#57 / 2025-01-08 at 02:52

There you go, much better

#56 / 2025-01-08 at 01:05

Filed away a bit so I can rotate my phone

#55 / 2025-01-07 at 01:17

Building a custom nightstand was such a good idea, this thing rocks.

#54 / 2025-01-07 at 01:17

Designed, printed, sanded & painted a phone charging module for my nightstand

#53 / 2025-01-06 at 21:13

#52 / 2025-01-06 at 20:23

Working on a phone charging module for my nightstand

#51 / 2025-01-06 at 16:37

Re-printed some keycaps in white & black w/ bigger icons for improved nighttime visibility

#50 / 2025-01-06 at 14:22

Larger-scale version of the icons + some new icons

#49 / 2025-01-05 at 22:26

#48 / 2025-01-05 at 19:22

#47 / 2025-01-05 at 19:04

#44 / 2025-01-05 at 01:17

Everything seems to be in working order...

#43 / 2025-01-05 at 01:17

Got the OLED hooked up!

#42 / 2025-01-05 at 01:17

#41 / 2025-01-04 at 21:52

#40 / 2025-01-04 at 21:46

#39 / 2025-01-04 at 21:30

I turned this lovely little light into a smart light with no visible cables coming out of it. Electronics are such a fun hobby

#38 / 2025-01-04 at 02:00

The height lines up really well!

#37 / 2025-01-03 at 23:21

The sanding left some considerable white marks, but I'm going to paint it anyways so it doesn't really matter

#36 / 2025-01-03 at 22:29

#35 / 2025-01-03 at 18:29

It's time to build a control panel for the gridfinity nightstand!

#34 / 2025-01-03 at 01:12

I 3D printed, sanded & painted some feet for my nightstand!

#33 / 2025-01-02 at 16:03

Gridfinity nightstand, gridfinity nightstand

#32 / 2025-01-02 at 14:21

#31 / 2025-01-02 at 13:00

Second coat of paint completed

#30 / 2025-01-02 at 12:14

#29 / 2025-01-01 at 17:15

Building the nightstand with my dad!

#28 / 2024-12-29 at 16:33

Made a HomeAssistant card to quickly link to relevant automation for each button

#27 / 2024-12-28 at 16:03

#26 / 2024-12-28 at 03:49

Tried out rectangular keycaps for my scenepad and did not love it at all

#25 / 2024-12-28 at 02:26

The IR replication wasn't working consistently enough for me, so I just said "to hell with it" and replaced the PCB with a LED strip

#24 / 2024-12-23 at 21:09

Bought a disco ball for €5 and made it smart!

#23 / 2024-12-22 at 18:16

This one, too

#22 / 2024-12-22 at 16:21

A friend submitted this effect

#17 / 2024-12-20 at 20:15

Better.

#16 / 2024-12-20 at 03:26

Going to have to re-print this one

#15 / 2024-12-19 at 20:51

#14 / 2024-12-19 at 19:47

#13 / 2024-12-19 at 11:51

Goodbye breakout board

#12 / 2024-12-18 at 19:17

#11 / 2024-12-18 at 15:28

I needed a way to give feedback that knobs are being turned and buttons are being pressed without a screen

#10 / 2024-12-18 at 14:15

#9 / 2024-12-18 at 01:02

Can you see the vision, Robert?

#8 / 2024-12-18 at 00:50

#7 / 2024-12-17 at 21:03

I really can't be bothered to re-print

#6 / 2024-12-17 at 19:35
