  1. The boys didn't figure out the sound at all; they whacked the button really loud and often. A couple of adults did check out the audio later, though.

    The boys will have weeks/months/years to figure it out, though.

    I didn't expect them to try to grab the lights. An hour later they'd stopped doing that, but I wish I'd given it some kind of tactile output. (No idea what that would be.)

  6. I am designing the Birthday Tower's bottom enclosure. It's gotten really crowded in here. I spent most of yesterday just trying to figure out how to make everything fit.

    From the left:
    - barrel jack
    - audio amp
    - speaker
    - two Wago connectors
    - Teensy audio board with Teensy 4.0 on top (not pictured)
    - level shifter board
    - JST SL jack

    Component positions are approximate. The case dimensions are accurate for now.
