After watching this video I feel like foraging for pine resin to make soldering flux! https://youtu.be/1piQpi00d-A

I really liked the juxtaposition of fleece fabric with 3D printed meshes from my rainbow fish project printed, so I'm now working on making a soft-sided icosahedron with a grid of 3D printed triangles on each side (to be illuminated ofc) It's required a LOT of hand sewing to securely attach the 3D printed meshes to the soft icosahedron sides, but there are now only two left to go before I can start installing the LEDs.

I'm most excited about the light/siren combo.
I plan to remove BT/Audio circuit from an old speaker and adapt it to the siren/horn.
Then maybe VU-sensitive lights? Or just something that turns on via internet stuff?
Here are some of the things I picked up last weekend at Hamvention ... These will become parts of future projects. (Really! ... probably.)

Thanks to @a2_qkumba, @txgx42, @helix_nrg, Andrew Roughan, Frank M., Kris Kennaway, @ladyailuros, and everyone else who contributed to this project in the past four years.

@oskay I never even saw it.
@oskay Oh wow! What did I miss?
@oskay The cover reminds me of a "motivational" speaker I had to watch once (for a work function.)
He spent 15 minutes going on and on about having a strong self-discipline.
The problem was that his beer gut was the size of a keg.
Related, a typesetting book that looks like that is impossible to take seriously.
@oskay Please tell me it was published in 1990.
@48kRAM Did you find a replacement for the BAC?
I forgot to measure the physical size and location of the pins with the one in my SE.
A few pictures from CoCo Fest 2023 in Carol Stream, IL. (Very close to Chicago)
Employment
@48kRAM Well that's a bummer!
@nulleric It worked great to double the capacity of floppies! But, for some reason, windows won't read the micro sd card I stamped with it.
Must be some kind of new modern DRM.

Ooh! PSA: Teardown tickets sales have now started! There are still some reduced early bird tickets left, but they won't last long.
It's the first year I'll be organizing it instead of just attending! Portland is stunning in the summer: come hang out and hack with us ✨
Check out this Pi Pico development board an e14 community made (and then sent me!)
It has some nice features. The board files are available to get your own.
