This is the Stonehenge #soldering challenge I plan to bring to #why2025 camp.
The standing stones are SMD ferrites, the horizontal 🪨 on top are LEDs which are connected to a CH32V203 MCU. A few capacitors a sprinkled in for the flat stones.

The artwork was not done by me, but gifted by a unnamed person ❤️
It has not been properly tested and might not arrive on time though. Wish me luck.
