In preparations for #why2025 i made a @hswaw logo in the form of pseudo-neon made out of acrylic/PMMA, HDF, and an addressable RGBW led strip. blobcatenjoy

like an onion, it has many layers, all 3mm thick

  1. full transparent acrylic on the front
  2. mostly full HDF, with frosted acrylic inserts for diffusing the led strip into the shape of the logo
  3. four structural HDF layers with a single continuous path for the led strip, which is slightly different (somewhat simplified) from the "front" shape
  4. backing PMMA layer, to somewhat protect the led strip, and prevent it from falling out if it unglues itself.

The general shape is based off of a version of the logo @q3k designed for the Warsaw Hackerspace website, aptly named "neon-syrenka.svg" ("neon-mermaid.svg"), but it took a few years before a physical representation in a (pseudo-)neon form was created ablobcatwink
most of the "artistic" design i did, including the simplified ledstrip path, was done in Inkscape, with the electronics box designed using FreeCAD

Warsaw Hackerspace logo depicted as a bright LED-strip pretending to be a neon, hanging in front of a cabinet and a safe box, with other lights turned off. The LED strip is colorful and addressable, and different segments are fading between semi-random colors.

It's honestly so cool that you can see all the vehicles riding around the #why2025 camp grounds in realtime on their map

also if you are simply attending and would like portraits made of you and/or consenting friends, please let me know!

(i am offering free, unedited, compressed raw digital photographs. everyone in the photo must provide me with explicit consent to respect privacy)

Also if people need ikea baggies, sleeping masks (branded, but free, you know)

or to borrow a presentation remote / laserpointer. (I have a logitech r300 you can use)

or want to borrow a rechargeable lithium AA battery to try out in a device that you would like to use rechargeables in but regular rechargeables don't have enough voltage so you can't use them.
lmk, either here or DECT 8442.

(I'm arriving Thu afternoon)

What gadget should I pack to play with at #WHY2025 ?

a) a drawing tablet I got gifted almost a decade ago and didn't use since then.
b) A usb-dect dongle from SIEMENS for which I don't know if it even works or what it was supposed to do originally.
c) a mini computer which I haven't even tried to power on since I built it from very cheap used parts...
d) A mini-NES console (without the required analog to digital converter...)
e) ???
