All of our Glowies are packed up and ready for #makerfairebayarea this weekend! We’re heading out tomorrow, can’t wait to see you there! We’re in Storehouse South, a low building near the entrance. We’ll also have a chance to win a prize basket, more details soon! #mfba2025 #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry #cyberpunk

Here’s the final style of Glowie we’re making! Shooting stars and flames! These fun animations draw attention without being too distracting, and their battery life is double the solid Glowies, so around 20-24 hrs on a single charge.

Also, the long shooting stars have two modes - the animated shooting star and solid on. Power cycling the Glowie switches back and forth between the two!

And prepping the packaging so we can just grab a box at Maker Faire. This is why I’ve been hoarding these small boxes for like 5+ years and hundreds of practically pristine ESD zip bags that some PCBs shipped in sometime. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry

We’ll be bringing all of these to Maker Faire Bay Area next weekend! They can be finished as a necklace, fish hook earrings, or lobster claw earrings for hooking onto hoops, your choice. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry #makerfaire #mfba2025 #makerfairebayarea

Production today starts with a little dip in some conformal coat to insulate the exposed pads and wires. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry

Glowies are brought to you by a copious amount of coffee and IPA. My current favorite local brewery, There Does Not Exist. They’re doing excellent clean IPAs as well as light beers like lagers, kolsches, and pilsners. And their artwork on every can is amazing. (see reply for artwork I swear I’ve only had one sip so far.) #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry #beer #theredoesnotexist

Yo dawg I heard you like panels. Shout-out to @kicad and KiKit for making me able to do exactly the panelization I wanted. Took a bit of figuring the settings, but I got there. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry #kicad #kikit
