@arturo182 I’ve been working on a kinetic sculpture. Each motor is individually controlled and the modules snap together to form a larger surface I can animate patterns on. Each module is powered by an RP2040 stamp 😉

Allan and I are building the tool I've always wanted to exist. I've had the same issue on just about every product I've built. How do you know it's ready before actually launching it? To that end we're building a world of NPCs that help you test your product from the outside,

you know how USB-C has mirrored data/etc pins for each side? normally you connect them on the board so it works bidirectionally. but has anyone ever made something where if you plug it in one way it does one thing, and if you flip the plug over it does something different?

Fire Ridge has been fun to build and watch kids enjoy. Surprisingly, it's also been one of the more difficult things I've built. Simulating the fire requires about ~350k calculations/sec... per game. If you're interested in helping me scale it, I would love some help 🥺

@cabel if you both find yourself in NY, you should plan an extended stay at the TWA hotel at JFK. it's extremely cool. some of the rooms have a view of the airport just like that. it's a bit more than $3 though.

Hacked the remote for my blinds to be triggered remotely by an ESP32, and made it pull power from the ESP instead of a coin cell. Buttons still work as normal. Gonna make an enclosure for it and program it to open automatically at sunrise.

I added a new feature to my game: limited visibility. When enabled, students can only see a limited radius around their current location. The scout truck has highest visibility, but can't act on the fire directly. It forces students to communicate, one of the goals of the game.
