Hey all!
I'm heading to the monthly-ish #hardware #meetup by the #AbsurdIndustries guild, #PCBCupid, and #LionCircuits!
It's on 22nd Feb 2026 https://luma.com/3jr6xpxq?tk=UNjCCn
I couldn't find them on openstreetmaps, so here's the coded area: 2GH5+XH #Bengaluru, Karnataka
Google maps link shared by hosts: https://maps.app.goo.gl/M7KpYpCM4SEAbk8GA
(Do let me know if you wish to attend but do not want to give Luma your data)

Flappy bird on the sidekick? 😳

Mistakes were made, lessons were learned.
The manufacturer reused pins 4 and 5 for i2c on the cheapest board. I forgot that+kicad gave me no hint
So now the touch I wired to pin 5 is useless. I can use this PCB without another iteration if I get rid of touch functionality and instead focus on code/personality core loading!

We have a domain now! It doesn't do much so I added a preview of the thing! Kicad generating the model as glb and used Google's Model Viewer library to render it directly in your browser!

Week 0 Progress! The video is from around August 6th and there's been tons of work since!
Expect week 2 update veeeery soon! If all goes well, it'll be on a PCB
For now, here's a quick "Hello World" kind of intro video filmed with @layogtima
Apologies for the awkwardness, it was an extremely impromptu video :3

Really enjoyed attending the lioncircuits x pcbcupid hackathon on 26th July 2025(Yesterday/Saturday!)
Didn't get a chance to show the final pic so here's a mockup we made early on to visualize what it will look like!
We made a "Guardian of the Nursery", a tiny "Absurd Buddy"! Basically a fun little stick robot that you put into a plant to measure its water intake. Just the right amount, not too much, not too little, also depends on the temperature and humidity around.
Didn't get a chance to make a companion app but that's okay! Here is our submission: https://guardian.layogtima.com/
The brains of this project was a PCBCupid Glyph C3, an ESP32 dev board. Check it out if you wish at https://shop.pcbcupid.com/product/gd001/
Update: We won 3rd prize!
