Ah okay. I guess I should look at applying, if there's still chance? 🤔

"This gives you Christmas to work on that project that you might not have finished yet" I'm guessing the mail was meant to be sent out in December? Or was it and you're only posting it now?

For this December I got myself the #BlueBrixx Stargate 1994 Advent Calendar. It's been a lot of fun to put together over the past days, and being reminded of the story.

Here's the first 4 builds (Days 1 - 5)

Related, I've refreshed the control interface of the Stewart Platform. There are now RGB LEDs to indicate the position of your hand above the sensor.

Hopefully this will make the user experience better on the day.

It was great to have you, and I'm pleased the universe didn't explode when we aligned it to reflect off my WAVE 😂

On the way home from Tramlines, I popped into @pimoroni.com towers for a visit and showed off the Giant Unicorn Hat. A big thank you to Pimoroni for supporting me with this madness. I thought it was fitting to take some photos in the factory. Plus it was nice to catch up with Jon, Paul and crew

You need to add the teensy 4.1 for that 😉

Where was this 5 years ago when I still developed on Teensy? 😂

I was just wondering what the purpose was given the landing is the same size. Your example is a good one 👍

On my way back from a great day at #LiverpoolMakefest. Thanks to the organisers for putting on another great event! I hope everyone who came by enjoyed what I had on show.

This may be of interest to you @listerofsmeg.bsky.social, since we talked about such a thing at CamJam

Indeed! 57 in total. Thanks go to @pimoroni.com for "sponsoring" this, aka there being a bag of 50 sample servos we were not going to sell.
