Trying to get the DS3231 module running and the data out to update the time of the #HackadayEurope2026 #badge. The longer I look at this, I am just more baffled. Why? What memory usage are we trying to safe? Just reading the byte for seconds you could get numbers of up to 89 suddenly. Instead you have to split the byte and do some shifting to get 59 seconds instead. And what's up with that century flag in the month byte? Why?

Had a great time in ridiculously-beautiful Lecco at @hackaday Europe 2026 this weekend. I gave a talk about some musical instruments I've been prototyping, will share some more about them on here soon!

Absolutely love the conference badge - can't wait to play around with it some more.

So I brought around 100 soldering kits of the Susuwataris (soot sprites from studio Ghibli's movie Spirited Away) for swapping or cash of 5 Euros that would cover material costs. It's a 4mm PCB with custom velour sticker on top and comes with wires for arms and a resin cast LED. Find me by looking for my bag. Get more of them and have a crowd, they come in groups anyways 😄

Hallo 

Ich bin auf der Suche nach einer Mitfahrgelegenheit von Stuttgart nach Lecco zur Hackaday Europe 2026 Konferenz. Kennt jemand jemanden, der zufällig auch auf dem Weg dorthin ist? #Hackaday #HAD #HackadayEurope2026

I am currently searching for a ride from Stuttgart to Lecco for Hackaday Europe 2026. Is there anyone passing by and could take me along?

Progress on the LEDs for the sootsprites for #HackadayEurope2026 - hopefully will have lots of LEDs to everyones liking and then put together kits and maybe solder some.
