Ran into some friendly folks from #teardown2024 at SurplusGizmos today. Found this beauty waiting for me, too.

Oregon’s hardware scene is excellent.

Okay here are some non wiggly photos from @crowdsupply #teardown2024

There's @jasoncoon and @geekmomprojects (in the shadowy corner) setting up.

@AlieGG under her arrangement of Jason's technocircles.

@benhencke and @LaserMistress's Synthia (which I just found out was their doing) and @icymakes's out of focus butterfly in the back.

And if anyone knows who did that Mandelbrot thing let me know and I'll tag them.

Even more (and slightly closer to properly exposed) Wigglygrams from #teardown2024.

@strangeparts and @adistuder are the only ones in these who I know are on Mastodon.

Some more wigglegrams from #teardown2024.

There was barely enough light for my plastic fixed-shutter Nishika, so I've decided to lean into the grittiness.

I probably wouldn't have spent hours pulling images out of the noise if I didn't like the people in them so much.

Feeling inspired after #Teardown2024, gonna do a little schematic and hopefully PCB design with #KiCad, and since one of my goals is to demystify this kind of stuff and make it less intimidating, gonna practice explaining what I'm doing, assuming no pre-existing knowledge.

So if you're curious about how electronics stuff comes into existence, come along and let me know how I'm doing, especially if you don't know anything about it yet! #pcb #circuitdesign #makers #livestream #owncast

Inspired by the retro-computing table at #Teardown2024, I made an optical "punch card reader" (okay, it's a scantron scanner).

I'm using 4x6 index cards since my printer can print on them.

Uses a Pololu reflectance sensor array.

More like scantron than punchcard, but still a fun little project!
