Alex Glow on Instagram: "Part 1! Here's my new LED charm circuit board, built into a piece of jewelry as intended.
A few tweaks are still needed: smaller switch, repositioned LED (so it shines back on your skin – as my guitar pick #PCB earring does), etc. However, I'm really happy to finally have something close to my vision!
I used @kicad.eda to design these, and @pcbway to fabricate both the green/silver prototype and the black/gold version. The earring is made with jewel beetle elytra and upcycled bike inner-tube. Looking forward to making lots of variations on these. 💙✨
