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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

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

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.

Had the pleasure of visiting @pimoroni.com yesterday, it was great to see their impressive offices, got to visit the Solder Party product shelf, and we even got the second place in a pub quiz ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks Paul, Chris, and Niko!
