i was looking for something to spend the rest of my OnBoard grant on, and i noticed JLC is doing a ridiculously cheap special offer on unassembled flex PCBs... so here's a new take on an old jam! standard US business card size, ~thickness of cardstock? that NTAG IC is probably gonna be a pain with no stencil, and i'm hoping that the antenna math checks out :rac_peefest:
started messing with HCB today!
my sprig's screen broke in the move :'-( what's a girl to do?
answer: some really stupid #sprig-hax!
i had an LCD in stock that was the same size and used the same driver...but with a different pinout (unhelpfully using 2 fewer pins than the original)
a little bit of hole-drilling and trick-rodeo soldering later, everything is back up and running!
garbage haul today (this is a The Bin reference) :rac_yap:
sometimes you just find random cr80 cards in your laundry i guess #justgirlythings
sometimes in PCB design ya gotta get a little squiggly with it
thanks guys
relearning awk so i can do evil
needed a 32px version of the sprig fella for a thing, so i drew one :-)
you know you're gonna have a bad night when
another silly little Sprig side project - nowhere near performant enough to be playable yet, but at least cool enough to show off! (h/t @MasonMeirs-U03V4686P9N for the idea, game, compiler knowledge and moral support)today i'm working on something atrocious
today i tried to go home and uhhhh
things are brewing...,,,
e clips!
new run of PCBs just came in!
somebody had to do this eventually, right? (ty to @MasonMeirs-U03V4686P9N for lending me a sprig!)
