  2. Revised #MechanicalKeyboard PCB arrived from JLCPLC. codeberg.org/peterjc/pico-keyb

    In white the traces are super subtle, and the black hummingbird silkscreen art stands out (but would be better thicker).

    In yellow (which is more orange/cream), the traces are very prominent and the white silkscreen is too subtle. I should have picked black for the art.

    I’m surprised how different they look! #PCBArt

  3. I've been having fun with the artistic possibilities of #PCB design within #KiCad - I have seen some stunning bits of art in this medium (#PCBArt)!

    This #MechanicalKeyboard PCB art effort is much simpler, some line art imported as a silkscreen graphic, and then some simple texturing with the ground fill hatching.

    (Why a tent? This is a small tented #ErgoMechKeyboard, meaning the PCB and keys are tilted relative to the table. The keyboard has 34 keys and the name Bivouac34 refers to a small wild camp)

  4. Wuhu der Prototyp für die Maus Platine ist da und sie funktioniert!!! 🥳 Vielen Dank an alle Beteiligten, insbesondere @sparki 😍

    Wird dann ein heißer Draht und die Platine vorne kann von den Kids dann noch bemalt werden

  5. Finally tonight a little time starting to assemble the frankly glorious ltd edition Mini II Picasso from @rc2014 gonna save the rest till tomorrow. #retrocomputing #z80 #pcbart

  6. I've always found circuit boards aesthetically inspiring, and in recent years this fascination has turned into a number of PCB-styled demos. I think a key inspiration for these has been the "Absolut Intelligence" vodka advert a couple of decades ago.

    I haven't done these in a while, but a week or two ago I ran into spanning trees. I noticed that spanning trees of square lattices can make rather nice impersonations of printed circuits, especially when the solder points are only put on leaf points. Cut the tree up into a forest, and it's making even more electrical sense.

    Halftoning isn't new to me either, but my existing line-based techniques didn't look nice on the square PCB lattice. It had to be more blocky with exactly horizontal or vertical lines. So for this iteration, I've set each half-edge to have a constant width — a natural evolution of my earlier variants, which were built from half-edge sections. Of course, the solder points follow a similar areal scaling.

  7. In 2023, in preparation for the holidays, I designed and soldered about 20 small tree 🎄 PCBs to give to my relatives. This year, I cleaned it up and published it as an open-source hardware project: github.com/IamPhytan/christmas.

    This project was made with free and software:

    - @FreeCAD for the outline
    - @inkscape for the art
    - @kicad :kicad: for the board design
    - @platformio_org for programming

  10. I made a short format video about PCB art for YouTube, but might as well share it here too 😊

    (I know you guys will appreciate it more than YouTube will anyway)

  11. OSHpark lost the shipping race to my sisters place, but I also ordered some with my updated TARS boards from jlcpcb to my place. I feel horrible for ordering purple ENIG at JLC, but it is what it is.

    I definitely need to work on the animation and I should touch up some of the copper fills, but this looks great!

  12. 💡 My cousin just published a fantastic guide on creating gradient effects on circuit boards! Love how he experimented with different dithering patterns. Proud to see him pushing PCB design creativity forward! lavignelabs.com/2024/11/07/pcb

  13. A failed attempt to make a SAO PCB for hackaday super con.

  14. The absolute madlads at PCBWay went full send and gave me the razor thin claws I wanted on this Wolverine SAO 🥰

    I put off ordering this design for half a year as I was almost certain they would refuse to manufacture it and I would have to redesign. Turns out: I didn’t!

    (Not sponsored, but credit where it’s due. This design is ridiculous and turned out beautiful)

  15. Continuing my Tetragonal Deltohedron project. Added a grounding plane to the edges to allow for soldering the sections together.

  16. Next project, a Tetragonal Deltohedron LED polyhedron.

    It seems If you are making Art PCBs eventually you make the LED Cube style project.

  17. Working on a capacitive touch front plate for a synth project. This top plate is a cheap PCB only board (No components). It connects to a more expensive bottom plate with a #XIAO ESPC6, amp, and headphone jack

    I never done capacitive touch before so I am trying several different patterns and designs. Always open to suggestions

    This was my idea for the @hackaday 2024 Business Card Challenge but @todbot beat me to it with his picotouch_bizcard

  18. Done first pass and resolved all DRC violation.

    Next up is clean up and peer review, then off to the manufactures.

    Anyone want to help me with peer review? Open to suggestions, looking for feedback. github.com/funvill/pcb-constel

    I started this project thinking it would be a easy 4 hour, one night project. ended up taking 8 hours. The mouse bites took up 4 hours alone.

  19. WIP: Redesigned the edge connectors. Making progress. Still need to add the caps.

    #PCB #PCBArt #Stars #KiCad #Constellations #LEDArt

  20. Wiring up all the edge connectors is harder then I thought it would be. I think its time to go back to the drawing board and find a more elegant way

    #PCB #PCBArt #Stars #KiCad #Constellations #LEDArt

  21. LEDs have been placed and edge connectors are roughed in.

    I am going to change the edge connectors to corner connectors

  22. Work in progress. There are 88 Officially Recognized Star Constellations. I am going to see if I can make a PCB with RGB LEDs for each one.

    The hardest part of this project so far was the mouse bites used to panelized the boards
