I made a leather cover for my e-reader tablet with magnets that completely (and safely) encloses it. Not my most elegant work but I had to do a few work arounds to incorporate the magnets and make a spine that wouldn't crack when folded back upon itself. It closes very firmly. #LeatherCraft #maker #tablet #HandMade #humour #books #BookBinding

Just received our first prototype of a Nickel-metal Hydride battery charger with a USB plug. This board is made to charge from 1 to 6 cells in series and supports a thermister for sensing overheating batteries.

This circuit design is planned to be a part of a pen-like stylus with a camera and haptic feedback for blind people to feel visual art.

I am prototyping a workshop idea for easter. Its fun but trying to center and egg is a challenge 😅 I think I have to 3D print an adapter or even the hole egg 🤔 Also attaching the egg to the motor is hard. If you use glue, the egg breaks when you take it off. For my prototype I glued a small magnet to the egg....
This will become a variation of my spin art robot. So i has to be suitable for age 8 and up: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/spinartrobot

🧶🧶🧶 FINALLY back in the saddle with knitting. Nasty old shoulder injury cropped up about a month ago. Ugh, soooo painful.

Started this new Stephen West shawl, #Icelandscape, only to realize I don't have enough yardage of colors, so am subbing in some solid sections which should work fine. It's good to have needles back in my hands, and to be back with all y'all!!

I've submitted my resignation letter to Apple. My last day will be this Friday, October 31st.

I'm starting a nonprofit company to create FOSH (Free Open Source Hardware) assistive consumer electronics, focused initially on assistive consumer electronics for blind people. I plan to release many small intermediate products for the maker community.

I plan to start working full time starting November 1st at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc.

Hello! We're back to running events in 2026. Our next meetup is happening this Sunday, Jan 11, at Wimbletech. Come say hi, and learn something new about hardware hacking?

Finally pulled together a prototype with this little board – one of my new #Charmware set, reviving the series of modular tech #jewelry bits I started back in 2018. Been dreaming of assembling these with elytra and bike-leather, and the day finally came... The board still needs some tweaks (smaller switch etc.), but with my fixed-up #KiCad workflow, those will be a snap. 😸

#Arduino, #maker and #electronics folks should know this exists: it's a USB Power Delivery trigger, a tiny and cheap (AU$6.90 from Core Electronics) board that pulls the full 12V or 20V or whatever, at all the amperage, from a phone charger that supports USB PD. No more screwing around with chunky variable voltage supplies!

I'm pairing one with some stepper drivers that buck input voltage down to 5V for microcontrollers, so this is 100% of a small motor-driven project's power supply right here.

“If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing.” These are words I often live by. My son recently started experimenting with #linocut printing and made me this for Xmas. I framed it and hung it on my shop wall with some other maker art. #maker #printmaking #woodworking #framing

I'm a few paragraphs in and loving it @[url=https://social.v.st/users/quixoticgeek]quixoticgeek[/url] maybe I'm dumb but I haven't figured out yet what it is that you're making? Though I think I'll find out as I keep going thanks for sharing a genuine human maker project thank goodness people still do that
