Not done by a long shot but wanted to post an update from the last couple of weeks. I actually did a TON more work on this thing than I documented, but thats mostly because the arcade system is hard for me. Some of them have more proof than others, I didn’t get pics of everything so ig there is some trust involved, let me know if something needs more and I’ll do my best. Note I’ve refrained from posting a full picture of everything, mostly for drama purposes 👀 dm me if you need a full photo for verification purposes but I want to save the full reveal till v1 is done

Yet another missed scrapbook day! (i am very bad at this) Spent 4 solid hours teaching fellow students to use the laser cutter/dealing with problems, then helped out with a middle school robotics program. In other news working on a new project 👀 (i cannot stop starting new projects and never finishing them please help :tw_sob:)

Tried out OpenCV today for later implementation with my claw design for FTC. I wanted to make a quick script to test a feature or two and ended up working on it for 12 and a half hours straight, smh. It works tho :sunglas:

Finally started doing things again today, been out sick for about a week so it feels great to be productive. So far just a lot of schoolwork catchup and some PCB design/ emailing back and forth with some local companies. Attached is decoupling capacitor mess

Designed a miniature #sprig knockoff with lipo charging and a tiny TFT. My first project to use a bare RP2040 chip and easily the biggest board I've ever hand routed.

Started research work on a project with a friend for Onboard! USB 3.0 switcher (for keyboard) using multiplexer/analog switches, rp2040-based circuit for control, a display, and far too much RGB.
