There's loads i haven't done with the sensors i got during #mayke though, and do feel more confidence to experiment now! This is a chonky HR-SR04 ultrasound distance sensor, range meant to be 4m but it's more like 1.4m (tested by making the kid back slowly away)

This video probably doesn't make much sense, the ceiling's too far away to detect, the light gets brighter as you approach within range. You can sort of feel the shape of the ultrasound wave with your hands

SpringSim is coming along thanks to some sound advice from my chum Jasmine #mayke
okay I totally fell off posting about this because it was mostly me swearing at fusion 360, but for the rest of #mayke I built a fancy enclosure for the gizmo
bonus #mayke 31a - portable bat classifier. Unfortunately by the time I finished it the bats had gone to bed (or possibly, it doesn't work)

Mayke [19/31] - When you have altogether too many fingers, make a parody t-shirt that is far too subtle.

#mayke 31 - last mayke for now anyway. Spring Simulator v0.1. it's...ok? not very portable and tends to get tangled. It moves nicely in any breeze thanks to @ultrazool's idea. The leaves are tissue paper chains paperclipped on. The "surround sound birdsong" is 2 x pico + amps and speakers powered by 3 AAA batteries. Base is a dead umbrella and a garden cane. Total cost £10 (tissue paper and stainless steel wire), as I had everything else in stock.

[edit: there is sound, birdsong]

#mayke 30 back on my Spring Simulator Made an accidental cat toy but solved the power for my birdsong. Not sure about the "leaves", though they do make a good pattern
