  1. Nice write-up from @concretedog about our @oshwassociation certified bike soundsystem relay setup, and how I used both @FreeCAD and @kicad to make it.

  2. Today's #FreeCADFriday task: assembling the 3D printed case that I made the design mods to last Friday.

    Turned out nicely.

  3. Bike PCB bonanza today! Just placed the order for:
    * New prototype My Bike's Got LED boards
    * More of the Microbit LED boards for kids workshops
    * The audio-level-shifter board for @amcewen's bike soundsystem

  4. Back on designing the audio level shifter board for my bike transmitter.

    Moved up to @FreeCAD v1.0 and it really feels like a proper release.

    The inclusion of the assembly workbench is great (this is an assembly of a step file from @kicad and two bodies); and lots of little improvements in the sketcher make it much smoother to use.

  5. Still, it's imported nicely into #Kicad and should let me get on with designing the case for it now.

  6. Spent the evening levelling up my #FreeCAD skills to model a stereo pot, including forays into shapebinders and the drafting workbench to create an array of parts.

    Slightly disappointed that the final step needed to export it to #Kicad merged all the bodies to a single one and so discarded all the different materials/colours I'd carefully constructed beforehand 🤣
