Here's some @cursed-connectors.bsky.social conent perhaps?

Molex 5020782562 looks as good as it might get, if you ever need to relocate / do questionable things to a 24-pin USB-C connector...

(always have a contingency plan when it comes to connectors..!)

TARS SAO Interstellar was not the movie I expected, but I loved the robots. After working on the Han Solo in Carbonite Add-on, designing this PCB felt like the right step and is also the most elaborate add-on ...

Hey bluesky, what's up? I will most probably be more active on mastodon, but let me share what I'm currently working on:

Coming weekend I will be at #Supercon where lots of people will bring SAOs (Simple Add-ons) for the badge. One of my favorite SAOs I made, is TARS:

Thank you. I did some experiments with bubble displays. But now I'm am more into 5x7 matrices because you can display characters.

One of my projects is this TIL311 replica (lighter one in the images.the darker one=original). It is a drop in replacement of this retro hexadecimal display. I made a silicone mold of the original and put a self made PCB in resin. It is much brighter and draws less power. hackaday.io/project/175903

It's time for Round Two!

Reply with one or more projects that you're proud of/might be known for 😊

Doing some tiny LED Matrix stuff. PCB is finally working after replacing four of these 1x1mm RGB LEDs.
