[making for #C07NUNPGEU8| and bin] initially spent time (~2 hours) making four 88 led matrixes in a chain display words using the raspberry pi pico by coding in micropython. changed to a single 88 led matrix because of bin requirements but you can still display whatever you want and the words in the order repeat indefinitely. will be adding complexity in the future as i read up further on hardware wokwi.com/projects/409701390916206593
created a motion pir sensor alarm with raspberry pi pico (4 versions of alarms - the initial one, the skeleton template, the regular one, the complex one) - github.com/arsoninstigator/motionsensor demo on wokwi link in readme
i made a maze game with sprig and tried to give it my own spin as a haunted house. if your sprite is able to find the exit (their way out of the establishment) then they're good, but if they don't, they fall into the bottomless burning pit of boiling molten lava github.com/arsoninstigator/sprighc
i made a small sprig game (basketball) at github.com/arsoninstigator/sprighc and am working on making an original game for the pr for the console
tried to make a hardware TOTPkey and failed miserably because (1) the routing was crazy difficult since im not good at PCB stuff and (2) the firmware part legitimately made me cry. find it at github.com/arsoninstigator/hardware-TOTkey
i made some pixel art as a newbie-ish artist who desperately wants to buy a tablet for art and study stuff (find this art stuff on github.com/arsoninstigator/art within the folders) :D
i built (/ am building) a micropad ! while this would be much simpler if i was working with arduino, i started this project with esp32 on wokwi as a part of the #C06R2QQT5M4| electronics project. unfortunately, while working with that microcontroller, it was announced that it was to be removed from the bin form since it was too expensive. i was forced to switch over to pi pico to salvage some of my work so here we are ! i'm designing the pcb so i can have it fabricated so i can work with an arduino (that i'll source myself) and make an actual funky macropad with latest functionalities. find my repo at github.com/arsoninstigator/macropad.pi-pico
i planned out a project, did a lot of background research (i know this doesn't count), decided not to continue with this for now, and took some written notes (i know this does count). find my notes at - github.com/arsoninstigator/hardware/blob/main/arcade/updates.md
i made a usb hub (type a, unfortunately) with two ports following the jam tutorial by max wofford! i started out by trying to make a different shaped usb port (a flower by creating a dxf file on inkspace) but eventually gave up and switched to the regular look (reposted, pls ignore session names/goals assigned because they do NOT match corresponding session events thru the thread because my adhd makes me work in weird ways). you can find this on github at github.com/arsoninstigator/usbhub/tree/main/two-usba but feel free to ask for schematics/gerbers for this
made my own usb hub using pcb assembled on both sides by following the hc pcb jam by max wofford. i had to do the manually tracing FIVE times and i was particularly upset when the power went out and my program browser reset and deleted my progress. i gave the board a unique flower outline initially (as can be seen in my scraps) but ultimately understood why they advise against it (although i will come back to this and remake it with a better board outline). files available at github.com/arsoninstigator/pcb/tree/main/usb-hub and scraps added as comments / photo replies within the session threads but feel free to ask for more proof if needed :)/ repost bcs of outage

i made and remade my pcb hackercard in different shaped boards because i was learning how to use inkspace and create dxf files to use for custom circuit boards. i haven't uploaded the gerbers yet because i cloned and erased and remade and erased and remade so many copies of the same thing ish (like,, it's my spin on the classic hackercard) but i can upload the gerber/schematic/bom if you tell me what's needed repo: github.com/arsoninstigator/pcb
started to learn how to make 3d websites using a-frame from scratch for hackacinno by making a robot using shapes available to me that had to be combined to make certain body parts (almost cried in the beginning but gradually had so much fun, will be hosting a workshop soon). repo: github.com/arsoninstigator/fraps/tree/main (reposting because i forgot to link a few sessions)

this is one half of the art part of my web-app project that allows people to collect stamps from different places / cities based on the location of their virtual pen-pals, as well as general stickers or stamps for completing each step within the friendship w your pen pal (for example, doing a video call w them through the app could be one sticker). i haven't decided on a name yet and am still contributing to this so i'll probably post part2 later :melting_face: repo: github.com/arsoninstigator/my-designs-hc/tree/main/art-ing/cities-project and i missed several updates in between hours so i'll add them in my next post
my first simple html + css static website that i earlier made for #boba that uses multiple divs. it's not responsive or anything though but just describes who i am in 3 lines : github.com/arsoninstigator/boba/tree/main
made a bunch of 3d designs during arcade (while following some tutorials); the individual threads might have scraps of pieces but the final pieces are uploaded here (this took more time to make than normal because i was messing around w all the buttons on my screen trying to figure out what each click allowed me to do). i also made mockups & played around with different textures for container boxes for my growing jewelry brand that im hoping to work on and expand: github.com/arsoninstigator/my-designs-hc
this is a nfc light up pcb business card i made for #onboard and it was my first time working with PCBs. i spent some time actually looking up the electronics concepts, learning about the components, messing around with the different layers of silkscreen (white color, dull yellow, gold foil, texture/slight variation etc.), and moving around the parts so the ratlines were placed properly and the tracks didn't intersect: github.com/arsoninstigator/OnBoard/tree/main/projects/ANNE_HACKERCARD
