davedarkoI demonstrate how to solder SMD parts with the Kit that Radomir / deshipu has send me. He also sells these boards on tindie, so this is also an advertisement of some sorts and I got this send for free. It's really cheap though, Radomir is not a big cash grabber when it comes to his projects.
I made the music in GarageBand, it had the right vibe for this video. No tooth were lost filming this video, but I really broke off a piece once while stripping wires with my teeth - so please be careful when you do that - it works until it doesn't!

#supercon #hackaday #SimpleAddOn #ShittyAddOn #TARS #Interstellar #Badgelife #electronics #RP2040 #RaspberryPIPico#HIP22 - What I learned from making an 1836* LED dodecahedron - davedarkodavedarko2022-12-28 | Downloaded the relive rough cut and fixed the audio so I can share the talk.
Inspired by a huge dodecahedron installation by xHain hack+makespace and seeing Greg Davill's D20 LED cube at #36C3, davedarko swore to himself to make an LED covered dodecahedron.
Two years later the design process started, by deciding on a way to distribute LEDs. Then the next questions formed. How many LEDs can I put on it? How do you control 1836 LEDs that are spread over 12 PCBs? Do you chose neopixels or find an LED controller? What size is the angle between sides and what is it even called? How do you power it? Can I make new friends with it?
Be warned: This talk will cover enough information to make you consider building a platonic solid covered in LEDs yourself!

Timon youtube.com/ProfSparkles twitter.com/timonsku hackaday.io/professorCoding Firmware For A TicTacToe Soldering Kitdavedarko2021-04-17 | Since this is an Atmega328 DIP chip on the board, I will do this with Arduino and their IDE. Just so you are prepared and can't complain - you've been warned :)
I recently bought a Tic Tac Toe soldering kit on tindie and the shipped code is very limited. Yesterday I drew some ideas on how to check that somebody has won and while doing so got an idea for coding an enemy you can play against. Let's talk about theory first and then see how far we get with the code.
I've been to the hackaday supercon in LA and let me tell you - it was awesome! We got a good amount of swag - a badge from adafruit, sparkfun and of course the main badge to hack on. There were stickers, a fancy aluminum bottle (yes, it even reads aluminum instead of aluminium) and a shirt in that swag bag, too! I've seen my youtube / hackaday heroes meet and even work together on things, had conversations with them and even made a cool selfie with Scotty from strangeparts! Even gave us a headphone pcb! The first day I was lucky enough to enter the SMD challenge and finished up handsoldering it down to 0201 parts! I might have been an accomplice in cat napping :D Hackaday presented some badges and shitty addons in the hallway that led to the "hacking ville", where workshops where held. This is where I got my FPGA board and a nice introduction on how stuff works. Tindie had a little show and tell where Sarah Petkus later presented her "she bon". If you want to see the talks - they're on the hackaday youtube channel, the talks from the smaller stage will be uploaded soon, too! Checkout Carl Bujegas talk about his PCB motors and Alex Glows owl talk, I really enjoyed those!

I was also able to talk with Erin Robot Girl about her beach cleaning robots. This one was build over the time of Supercon with parts brought by community members! Big fan of the dance mode and still expect to see all four of them dance together at one point! Recently their beach home burned down, if anyone wants to do me a favor for my birthday: donate something to the gofundme! gofundme.com/robot-missions-rebuild-fund
Wir reden etwas länger mit den Herren des Arduino Hannover Treffpunkts, schauen die Preisvergabe der Conrad Maker Factory Challenge an der Clemens aka MAYER MAKES und Georg von der Hand-Werk-Statt. Mit bitluni versuchen wir sein neuestes Projekt zu reparieren. Es gab einiges zu sehen und wir haben uns die zwei Tage beim Besuch in Hannover nie gelangweilt! Natürlich waren auch der R2 builders club anwesend, es gab Lichtschwerter und eine Menge an Drohnen und Lego.
Schaut euch doch noch das Video von Stefan (spacehuhn) an, hier gibt's noch mehr Projekte zu bestaunen, die ich leider nicht gesehen hatte: youtu.be/Xz9sCjbg_pI
Am Ende lief noch "Squids" von mir, welches ich für ein anderes Video in Garage Band "gebaut" hatte.MHF18 announcement and updates #QU4davedarko2018-09-14 | Just a little excuse video with updates around what I'm currently doing and planning to do.Power Playing Them Tunes And TVdavedarko2018-08-26 | Let's try to recycle old PSUs to power a TV and a Keyboard where I also added a Headphone jack to the Casio GZ-5, it has all the midi. I got both very cheap on eBay and am really happy with them so far!

learnelectronics - youtube.com/c/learnelectronicsStar Blinken - prop with no programmingdavedarko2018-07-29 | A prop essential, the CD4017 Johnson counter working together with a NE555 timer chip. I call it the :starblinken for obvious reasons. Did some mistakes, stumbled across some baffling things. Leave a like if you can :)
learnelectronics - youtube.com/c/learnelectronicsits way too long #QU3davedarko2018-07-22 | This contains products that people can buy, therefore I advertise them. I'm not payed by anyone though, I'm just loosely reviewing what I've bought. One exception: aisler.net sponsored the stencils and boards for my arduboy max design.
This feels more and more like a vlog. But don't tell anyone!
Amazon prime day got me shopping for some upgrades for my lab, there's a tiny mailbag section at the end and some regrettable acting.

I wasn't sure to upload this, since Mayer Makes posted a video as well and it was basically the same like mine, but a bit more because of his conrad.de contest.

Had some fun recording the soundtrack and play with my ukulele etc. :)
