Seven multi colored 3D printed articulated mannekin figures on a tabletop surrounding an Illuminated LED orb and reacting to it as though it is a religious item to be admired and worshipped.

This is all your fault...

Omg ‘companion bot wearables’ fashion!!! now you’ve unleashed a whole new genre of making and I’m so into this 😍🥳 #cutetek

This is the whole point of AI. It’s not to actually replace humans. It’s to change your title from “head writer” to “assistant AI technician,” not credit you, and pay you half of what you were paid before

This time I went with Microsoft MakeCode. My original plan was to go analog and build the timer using 555 but I couldn’t get it to work with low-power (~3V), so I got lazy 🙊

Thank you so much 😊

A pastel green crocheted travel suitcase with grey straps and blue handles. The front of the case is embedded with a Micro:Bit, which is an electronic microcontroller board with a grid of LEDs. Some of the LEDs are glowing and the straps cover the buttons on the board. The suitcase rests on a 3D printed deck chair laid on some grass in a park.

My latest hack ‘CyberDeckChair’ is a solar-powered contraption with two modes. In cyberdeck mode, use it as a Pomodoro timer to aid your work productivity. When you’ve exhausted yourself, activate the deckchair mode and recharge in the sun ☀️🧳🔋

If devices need breaks, so do you!! ✨✨✨

Bow wowzaaa 🤩🤩🤩

Thanks, Jason! I’m a big fan of your Fibonacci and cyclohex LED patterns ❤️

Casually reading the new issue of Make Magazine, I see a cool collaborative article and LED creation by @anu1905.bsky.social and @arturo182.bsky.social. Then I unexpectedly see my name listed as an inspiration. 🥹🤗

Three Illuminated cuff bracelets with bright colorful patterns illuminating 3D printed grids comprised of geometric shapes on the exterior. One grid is made of heart shapes, one of diamond shapes, and one of hexagons.

Hands squishing a soft Icosahedron sewn from fleece with an Illuminated grid of ten 3D printed triangles on each side.

A dressmakers dummy, with an Illuminated tote bag sling over irs shoulder. The tote bag is covered with a 3D printed grid of translucent triangles and diamonds that are illuminated from behind.

An illuminated LED cube with a grid of 8x8 LEDs on each of its sides resting on a cutting mat next to a sphere with 384 illuminated 3D printed tiles covering its surface.

I make electronics projects, often wearable, usually with LEDs, both for my own enjoyment, and to publish on my blog (GeekMomProjects.com) and in Make: magazine so that others can build and enjoy them as well.

We're excited to announce this call for the Algorithmic Pattern Salon!
Bringing together people making patterns across both heritage craft and contemporary code practices.
Deadline: 22nd September 2023
Salon dates: 23/24th November 2023

Ah sorry, missed it! Thank you!

I love these so much! 😍 I want to try making them. Could I DM you for the laser cutting file?

Just completed a new illuminated tote design in order to document and write it up for Make: Magazine. I had to change the geometric pattern on the front panel from my original builds because those were too close to a famous designer's trademark!

Hi All! As introduction, I make cute electronics kits! You can find them here: https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/makerqueenau

A tote bag and crossbody bag sewn from black faux leather resting on a sofa. The front panel of each bag is made from translucent triangular tiles arranged in a grid, and each triangle can light up in a different color. The animations.on the front of each bag display the same pattern.

Made a coordinating LED crossbody and tote bag. To see the full effect, this video shows them in action: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VQUJzvVgrt7uJLVy7. Wonder if I can get away with wearing one on each shoulder...🤔

What is your favorite component to fidget with ?

a 555 timer drawn in a slightly wavy outlined style, it is shown in isometric perspective and is simplified there is a pink heart on top, the body is purpley blue and rhe background of the image is light purple.

my hardware projects are perpetually unfinished, but I have been known to make cute component art sometimes

The backside of a toy crocheted couch from the tv show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. It is attached to some electronics and a speaker that plays the show’s tune. In the background is a poster from the same show. A Turkey with round yellow glasses leans backwards on the couch.

A game controller made of electronics and felt embroidery. One of the electronics has a display saying ‘Who me?’. The game is an algorithmic version of ‘who stole the cookie from the cookie jar’.

A crocheted cushion in the shape of a resistor (yellow, violet, red, gold) with three identical real value resistors pinned on its top.

A hand holding the backside of an e-reader. The back cover is covered in cross-stitch decorated with flowers and leaves. In the center is a AAA battery holder with two batteries in it.

I tend to be known for putting textiles and electronics together ☺️

I’m here👋

I made a custom PCB that replaces a Mason jar lid and turns it into a touch-sensitive lamp 💡

We need to rebuild our electronics Twitter network, let's have an awesome HW/SW project thread!

Reply here with one or more projects that you are proud of and people might recognize you for 😊

No wins, just grateful I still have a job. My 6-month probation ended yesterday 😅

A person (me!) standing with their hands in Victorian-inspired pockets. The pockets are worn over a printed black t-shirt, black slacks, and a light blue Jean jacket. In the background are planted trees and bushes.

I’m so excited! I made Victorian-inspired pockets attached to a waistband (w velcro).

I made them comically large to make a point, so, it fits everything I need - my phone, charging cable, wallet, comb, hand sanitizer, a tiny notebook, and my e-reader. If this sticks, it will be a game changer 👜🚫

I am beyond excited to start reading on my ‘open book’, a kit I assembled at the Open Hardware Summit last month. It was my first time soldering SMD components, and phew, I managed. Thanks all involved humans and flux for this awesome experience 💕
