Assembly done for a few giveaways
10/24/2024 at 17:55 • 0 commentsCompletely a small batch assembly to bring to the con
Made a number of stand-alone units, that use the hex inverter to auto-blink and can be controlled from the badge.
Also managed to bring up some populated with actual ASICs. Fewer of these, since the chips are kinda precious.
Neat thing is, I've found multiple projects that can be used to play with the LED in different interesting ways :)
Packing them up for the supercon. Gonna be fun!

Some mistakes, some success
10/18/2024 at 20:34 • 0 commentsWell, this first spin didn't quite go as smoothly as hoped... the stand-alone works just fine but by using net-ties rather than 0R jumpers, I missed the fact that in the ASIC configuration, I'd have conflicts driving the LED FETs... ah well, only making 6 at most, so a little rework will do the trick to getting some in time for supercon.
The awesome news is that it can work. This is a pico used in place of the badge, to provide power, select a project and clock it... yay!
