working on a weird little jewlery pcb idea for flexible pcbs:
for the round board
charging circuitry and usb receptacle on the front, A cap will socket in to the backside. The rectangular pcb has the mcu and will slot/solder in those slots to provide power/gnd to the mcu. 2 opposing faced flat flex connectors will break out mcu pins to a flexible pcb intended to have the art and leds.

Next keychain pcb! #chippydootles

slowly poking around freecad to make some simple technical view drawings of the anwaar amulet. Learning curve for sure, I used step models i exported from kicad, had to hide some details because the models had too much info but it seemed to work for the most part. #chippydootles

I would not be able to make and share my unique art if it wasn't for open source libraries and open source hardware. I'm planning on including this Crowd supply only Open Source Hardware faceplate when my project launches! I used the MSA wiki page for open source hardware for the arabic, figured that was the best way to go about it. #chippydootles

messing around with a few seconds exposure shots from my phone #chippydootles

big thanks to @ArchiteuthisFlux for letting me piggy back on his jlc order and sending these my way! I excitedly rushed to assemble one as soon as i got them! Really happy with how they turned out #chippydootles

working on the basic firmware for this anwaar amulet and just letting the rgb cycle while im hanging out in grit gate. #chippydootles

First prototype for LiC based anwaar amulet! It uses the same method of a cut out as the pendant. this LiC is rated at 20F with a charge voltage of 4.0 volts. I have more tests but initial charge looks good! #chippydootles

ahh it's looking like i'm gonna be back this year for #teardown2025 !! Really excited! I will be giving a talk this time! #chippydootles
