Is it time for @defcon unpacking photos? Mind you, I brought about half with me, but it never ceases to amaze me the breadth of creativity coming out of defcon and the sincere generosity of the creators. Even for people selling stuff, I know you worked harder than the price x10.

It works! I've designed a self-contained VFD driver minibadge 'cube' to fit a @SAINTCON badge as part of my pcb art talk (@ Thu 11am). Uses an IV-17 tube, boost reg does ~24v but can goto 70v for MOAR BRIGHT, attiny1616 with cascading serial for multi digits, 95mA per digit.
