Feeling very pleased with how my custom lighting controller came out. Each knob controls up to 6 parameters, which can be selected by pressing the buttons below. The left side controls color and the right side controls texture (motion and dynamics). This is for https://shade.city 's giant inflatable ring light, Halo.
It connects via ESPnow to a custom LED driver to drive addressable LEDs. You can save presets on NFC tags too.
(Yes the link on it doesn't go anywhere yet)

I read Amy Goodchild’s blog post about digitizing her handwriting in JavaScript a while ago and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I didn’t end up digitizing my own handwriting, but it pushed me toward a smaller idea: clamp a ballpoint pen to my 3D printer and let it write postcards for me. This post is the story of getting there, including the part where my printer almost drove the pen straight through the bed.
