Looking for the owner of a lost PCB from a SMD soldering workshop at #39c3! 🐱

This interactive cat board purrs when you pet it nicely but hisses if you rub it wrong. Left behind after Day 3 at Hardware Hacking Assembly - the only one not picked up after programming.

Video attached, and photo of unique 0402 practice grid in comments. Boost to help this PCB find its owner! (Assembly run by @maltman23, workshop taught by Kliment)

@maltman23 hmm, seems like some people need a rather specific #HardwareHackingVillage #hha workshop — something for next #ccc #39c3 ?

Hey #fedi! I'm thinking of getting some long lengths of pebble #LED strips to hang across an open space. I know the #HardwareHackingVillage at #37c3 had some of these running back and forth in Hall 3.

Looking at the options, I have some questions:

* Do they need to be attached to some rope, or can they hang across some distance without support?
* If they're hung without support -- how is the joint between the connection pigtail and the string reinforced? Is it enough to just solder the joint?
