The last time I worked on this project was two years ago and it ended up in a box after I tore one of the pads off. I’ve had some spare time recently so I decided it would be fun to solder 120 LEDs on a fresh PCB.

PCB Pin Badges – Clamps SAO
I’ve been wanting to revisit my original Clamps pin badge for a while and replace the 5mm through-hole LEDs with reverse mounted SMD LEDs like my more recent Skeletor and Roberto PCBs.
Despite getting pretty close to sending the design off for fabrication, I was concerned that the product just wasn’t different enough from the existing Clamps design. So I decided to create my first Simple Add-On!
(more…)DIY Ambilight – Update
I’ve been working on the Prismatik code to get it ready to go back onto the main branch so I thought I’d post a little update.

Xmas Fireplace Ornament PCB
Inspired by seeing Xmas-themed-PCBs all over Twitter, an idea popped into my head. Two days later, I’d sent off a new PCB for manufacture.

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.
