ESP32 ItsyBitsy is in final testing zOne!

OK, after a long hiatus, the ESP32 Itsy Bitsy prototypes are built and ready for testing! We first designed this board Feb 20, 2020 - and it's been waiting oh so patiently for its turn. The ESP32 Pico module packs 8 MB of flash and 2 MB of PSRAM. Despite its small size this board can handle fairly complex programs. This board is very small but has lots of pins, with a USB-serial converter, NeoPixel, reset and user button, Stemma QT connector, and a 5V-logic output specifically for driving NeoPixels. to do my final 'all in one' test we're reading temperature and humidity from an I2C sensor, sending it to IO, then reading back the onboard NeoPixel color from the dashboard. It's an excellent way to make sure the whole thing is working the way we like. Last up, we'll do a low-power test, and then it'll be ready for fabrication!

Man I have been known to have severe depressive episodes and whatnot and half the time life doesn't feel worth it and I may always struggle with this.

But y'know what makes me feel alive without fail every single time?? Making shit. I'm down at the maker space laser-engraving a mushroom into a sheet of glass rn and I am so happy. I am just so uncomplicatedly happy.

Go make a mushroom out of something ok. It's the best medicine I prommy.

Happy St. Patty’s from the kiln gods. I thought I was making a light spring-green glaze. Oops!

✨Work in Progress✨

💗 Just finished 💗

No pattern as it was entirely experimental: a learning experience. But 1) it's super-light and the snuggliest thing I've ever knitted (in sock yarn, held with kid silk) 2) it will be the first of many 😘 so watch this space. Bottom up, in the round, 2 yarns knitted together. Back to my million-and-one WIPs 😂

Making is making.

For the toad lovers.

Nobody sneeze. This stack made me very nervous this morning. Mainly because these are my new babies. Latte cups are now a real thing in the studio. I’m experimenting with different handles, and getting very confident (reckless? Wild? No, let’s say confident) about bold shape alterations and details. #happyhappy . . . #creativityeveryday #mugs #pottery #ceramics #cups #etsy #etsyhandmade #etsyfinds #potteryaddict #potterylovers #makeart #ceramicartist #everydayart #etsymudteam #clayartsutah #makersmovement #quietcreative #lithologyceramicart Shop update Sunday 3:00 MST https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqF_Dzrqqm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
