Hot off the presses for my electronicsy peeps - I got asked if I'd sell the Glowie base without the LED soldered on, because someone already had a bunch of shapes. Sure! Itβs unlisted right now to avoid confusion, but feel free to share with other makers. www.alpenglowindustries.com/products/glo...

Oops, I gave my strips a pitch of 2.54mm and these LED strips are 3mm pitch. It's manageable, but I need a quick way to adjust that in the KiCad model.
Reminding myself to quadruple-check the polarity of these strips before turning on the iron.....
