The relay for my ZR-7 tail light has arrived, I'll be adding a 1N4007 diode for flyback protection.
The use of the diode, and the whole relay actually, is optional. But I want to alleviate the load on my old harness.

Diffusers for my custom tail light for Kawasaki ZR-7, rev 1.0.
I prepared one frost and one milky 2 mm plexiglas sheet for testing, will decide later which one I like more.

Tethering the brain away from the main unit and have it inside the seat storage area instead, so that I can easily replace it for firmware upgrades and testing.

Some pictures of the assembly.
Originally, the LM2596 was not part of the design, but for this prototype I decided to add it.

KiCad Version 9.0.0 Release

The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest major version release. See the blog post on the KiCad website for more information about this release.

www.kicad.org/blog/2025/02...

I use Thonny for quick stuff or to directly edit files in the Pico, whilst I always use VS Code when publishing my code, clean and linted.

I may need to set up some cross posting stuff.

Why do I see politics threads on my home feed if I don't follow anything nor anyone involved 🤷‍♂️

Still one of my favourite displays for a clock #TM1637

I have used RP2040-Zero with KMK and nice!nano with ZMK firmware.
