The Pickaxe Guy animation is no longer fucked. I also fixed some other things

#EMFCamp #tildagon

Went for the inside brim and the hat string with an almost empty can of silver fabric spraypaint, now empty, offering an inconsistent dusting of sparkle

Resolved not to buy anything for this hat mod, it's here or nothing

Thought to add the GlowStitch LEDs - never clicked as they aren't addressable - for a flattering underbrim glow, but they're not where their conductive tape is

Did find the other plate for the never-booted #TildaGON though :)

Focus range is short, burnout is overdue :/

"What did you do on your week off, Sam?"

"An awful lot of gardening, and also I made some lemmings run about on the screen of an *unbelievably* niche device"

We now have:

* Walkers
* Bashers
* Pickaxe guys
* Fallers
* Umbrella guys
* Diggers

The Pickaxe animation is a bit fucked, though, for reasons I've spent way too long attempting to fathom

`Genericise the horizontal-lemming` is a commit-message I have just written

#EMFCamp #Tildagon

Kat decided we needed to go to the junk shop (Remo #recycling / #reuse shop)… now we own more junk. 😂

Kat spotted LED strings and decided they match the 2026 EMF theme. Spaaaaccccceeee!

I got some pleathery stuff & felt, plan to stamp out a disc to go under the thead spool on the Singer. Kat got some other fabric scraps.

I couldn't resist pads of sticky backed neoprene and a random cylinder of foam, useful things to have in the materials store.

I finally grabbed one of the cylinders of POM-C, been eyeing them for months… no immediate use, but it looks like good stock material for CNC.

In two separate parts of the store I found lanyards and bags with the bits that clip onto them. These are going to be used for our #EMFCamp #Tildagon badges.

Finally I grabbed a small stack of plastic petri dishes, one of which will be put to immediate use to chit some parsnip seeds for the #allotment.

#Electronics, #CNC, #gardening, #sewing all in one post lol… it's like #EMFCamp in our house.

@wamonite we have Umbrellas on the #EMFCamp #tildagon
Ruthlessly nerd-sniped by @wamonite into putting some lemmings onto the #EMFCamp #tildagon badge

Now I'm in hotel not train I fiddled with last nights #tildagon problems:

WiFi.scan only returns the access points it sees when it's connected to its configured network, not when it is out of range of its configured network. Change the config to my phone hotspot and it can see everything around me again.

USB works again now I physically wiped down, blew into, and pressed hard onto the board. So I guess something sad happening around the connector.
