As I mentioned in the previous post I’ve been waiting on an order of Skeletor badges from PCBWay. I’m pleased to say they’ve arrived, so here’s a quick update.

PCB Pin Badges – Skeletor
In previous posts I’ve talked about some of the difficulties I’ve had converting vector drawings to PCB layouts in Eagle. After discovering a video by Twinkle Twinkie where he shows off his workflow I thought I’d follow along and see what came out. The result is the Skeletor “Myah!” badge.
DirtyPCBs Fabrication (Update)
After selling all of the first batch of PCBs from DirtyPCBs, I put in an order for a second batch. They arrived this week so I thought I’d put together a quick update.
PCB Pin Badges – Clamps 2.0 (Part 2)
Just in time for the weekend all the parts for version 2 of my Clamps badge arrived!
PCB Pin Badges – Clamps 2.0 (Part 1)
After my first batch of Clamps badges sold out on Tindie, I was lamenting that I didn’t have any spare boards to put rainbow LEDs in. Jon Raymond suggested that I could go one step further and add an ATtiny85 and some RGB LEDs. Not one to turn down a challenge, I started work!
BSG Chronometer (Part 1)
So this is a project that has maybe been percolating for 7 years or so and now I feel confident enough to tackle it!
PCB Pin Badges – Clamps
Having the Perturbator and Meeple pin badges under my belt, it was finally time to try something a little bit more complicated.
Inspired by Day of the Geek badge that I own, I thought I’d try a memorable robot from Futurama: Francis X. Clampazzo.
PCB Pin Badges – Meeple
Over Christmas I stumbled across a cute Meeple lapel pin, which I of course bought. While it works well as a tie pin, I’d like something a little closer to the real Meeple size for my coat, so as soon as I got back to my PC I had to try my hand at making a PCB version.
