← Bench notes 14 July 2026 From the bench One of the living room lanterns. A look from outside first, then a peek inside at where the addressable LEDs live. Newer My first automata. It's an old Zelda print, an Octorok, that I finally painted, riding a cam I made by animating the motion in Blender and printing the curve. Crank the handle and the little guy dances. Older My first soldering outside a hobby kit: no instructions, just an idea and a connector that needed to be on this board. A few of the joints are ugly. They all held when I tugged on them. ← all bench notes
