Back on the @MCQN_Ltd My Bike's Got LED packaging kick for this #FreeCADFriday
I'd done a bit more work on it on Monday too and tried cutting it out. That wasn't too bad, but the tabs to hold the panel with the PCB on didn't keep it in place.
So today I reworked that bit to have the side panels to hold the battery hook over the PCB panel. That holds things much better.
The only scary bit of this #FreeCADFriday is using the sheet metal workbench again (I had trouble getting it to unfold last time I tried, but that was *many* versions ago. Seems much nicer so far)
Working on some packaging options for the @MCQN_Ltd My Bike's Got LED kits
It was getting dark as I neared Crosby, so the @MCQN_Ltd My Bikes Got LED lights were on

It's not 3D-printed, but @amcewen finally got his bike fitted out with a My Bike's Got LED kit.
Anyone would think we've got an event to go to later in the week.

What's this? A new delivery of postcards for My Bike's Got LED? 😍 🚲 🚥 🚥
There's something of a @DoESLiverpool takeover of the @oshwassociation Show and Tell this month - I'm going to be on talking about @MCQN_Ltd's My Bike's Got LED boards and @huffeec and @Snoof will be repping their company STEAM Engineers too!
Tune in at 5pm GMT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwPf12toLq4
Today at @MCQN_Ltd HQ we are mostly channeling Jay-Z for marketing copy.
A nice end to the working year.
Today some 22 ohm 0402 resistors turned up and I replaced the incorrect ones on the USB data lines on our My Bike's Got LED prototype boards.
With those two components replaced, the ESP32C3 could see the laptop's attempts to talk to it, and replied.
I can now flash code onto it over USB! 🎉
Back on our hand-decoding USB from oscilloscope traces schtick.
@huffeec pointed out that they're Start-of-Frame packets rather than NAKs. (People who build protocols sending packets least-significant-bit first are even worse than those who use little-endian!)
At least now I (think) we're getting somewhere. Looks like the ESP32C3 is ignoring the computer for some reason.
