in Berlin this week, was in Munich last week. Germany is _wonderful_. All the infrastructure I've always wanted from american cities. If I were to ever leave Pittsburgh, I could see Berlin being where I'd go. it has the "some people do weird shit, don't worry about it" energy that new york city has.
The horn is made of PCBs too! Jaden did a rad rose design in KiCAD and got all the edges plated so we could solder them together.
It plays music, and the song that it plays depends on the record you drop in. Some of @arturo182's flexypins are distributed around the outside of the felt, and depending on which jumpers you cut on the backside of the record PCB, it pulls a different pin to ground and triggers a different song!
Off to Supercon! Bringing a "badge" my gf and I have been working on for the past few months: Voltavox. It's a tiny gramophone where we tried to use PCBs as much as possible.
