Another one finished! I could use some help with a name for it. It's an eyeball. The outside is dark American Walnut, representing the natural world. The inside is a circuit board, representing technology. I don't think it is too far fetched that people will have cybernetic eyeballs in the coming decades. The idea of a cybernetic eyeball is what inspired this piece. Most of the components on the pcb are for looks, but there's a string of ws2812 leds that I designed to look like Ethernet link lights.

I’m really excited to share a piece of art that’s been two years in the making. I call it Algorithmic Precipitation.
The piece is built from a custom printed circuit board. In the top copper layer is a city intersection, with a woman crossing the street. An everyday moment from a future that hasn’t quite arrived yet.
Across the scene, a downpour of small green raindrops falls from the sky, rendered using a grid of WS2812-2020 LEDs controlled by an ATmega328PB microcontroller. Two white LEDs occaisionally flash like lightning. A single amber LED mimics a failing streetlight.
The work is an exploration of what a post-singularity world might look like, where the boundary between the natural world and technology has blurred, and both are part of the same evolving system.
Also, I am trying to get better at this social media stuff, so today I uploaded my first YouTube video! If you want to see more of this piece, I made a long form video detailing every step of how I made it. Likes, boosts, and subscribers are appreciated! Check it out here: https://youtu.be/k712ZmR4pAk?si=-9bLeB-qkFdm6Kyn
I also have more pictures on my website: www.iandunnart.com.

The main visual part of this project is finished. It started during a lab reorganization: old components that still work but disappear forever once they go back in the box. So we put them on the wall instead — breadboards, opened devices, circuit boards on display for everyone to see and take if useful.

Die Hitze hilft nicht unbedingt beim Routing dieses #Brainfucks 🫠 😭 🫣
Das Erstellen der zugehörigen svg hat #inkscape schon ins schwitzen gebracht. >1 Megabyte Vektorgrafik ist wohl nicht üblich 😅

Revised #MechanicalKeyboard PCB arrived from JLCPLC. https://codeberg.org/peterjc/pico-keyboards/
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

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)

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

In 2023, in preparation for the holidays, I designed and soldered about 20 small #Christmas tree 🎄 PCBs to give to my relatives. This year, I cleaned it up and published it as an open-source hardware project: https://github.com/IamPhytan/christmas-tree-pcb.
This project was made with free and #opensource software:
- @FreeCAD for the outline
- @inkscape for the #PCB art
- @kicad :kicad: for the board design
- @platformio_org for programming#FOSS #FreeOpenSourceSoftware #OpenHardware #Electronics #Hardware #PCBArt

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)

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!

💡 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! https://lavignelabs.com/2024/11/07/pcb-artwork/

A failed attempt to make a SAO PCB for hackaday super con.
"Put a bird on it"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHmLljk2t8M -
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)

Continuing my Tetragonal Deltohedron project. Added a grounding plane to the edges to allow for soldering the sections together.
-
Next project, a Tetragonal Deltohedron LED polyhedron.
It seems If you are making Art PCBs eventually you make the LED Cube style project.
101 Addressable LEDs per side, 8 sides. running off a XIAO ESP32, Lipo battery inside...
Same shape as my stained glass version https://blog.abluestar.com/projects/2019-illuminated-stained-glass-tetragonal-trapezohedron/
Same methods as the Dodecahedron PCB https://blog.abluestar.com/dodecahedron-pcb-retrospective/

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

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. https://github.com/funvill/pcb-constellation
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.
-
WIP: Redesigned the edge connectors. Making progress. Still need to add the caps.
-
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

-
LEDs have been placed and edge connectors are roughed in.
I am going to change the edge connectors to corner connectors
-
Next up is placing the LEDs and wiring everything together.
-
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
Idea 012 - LED Constellation Star map https://blog.abluestar.com/idea012-led-constellation-star-map/ from the #100DaysOfIdeas project I did in 2023
