This week @adafruit we’re making an audio reactive light bar using NeoPixels and CircuitPython. Prototyping a zoetrope with Adafruit Crickit featuring Party Parrot. The timelapse this week is a fractal star fidget printed using quantum filament from Matterhackers. It’s quite colorful this week!

This weekend we got to play with a VFD tube. This ancient technology uses a gas tube to light up segments. In order to activate the fluorescence, we need to provide 20 to 30V DC on the segments. Not a lot of current, maybe 1mA each, but definitely needs to be a high voltage. For lower voltages, we could use a switched-cap converter. But for this, we'll need a proper booster! Let's find a small, lo...

part of our floppy quest is we want to read mac 800k floppies - partially because there's a lotta good content out there on 800k floppies, and partially because we are still heading towards imaging the prince floppy (which, being 800k formatted made it a bit of a pain to read). 1.4MB floppies on mac are easily readable because by the time they got to 1.4MB apple stopped being clever with their dis...
