@adafruit This will be great for making cost effective accessible input devices - e.g., can hook-up a Mini Analog Joystick for an accessible mouse or adapted joystick for Xbox Adaptive Controller.

TRRS Trinkey makes AT projects EZ ATMakers emailed and asked if we'd make a Trinkey (adafruit.com/search?q=trink…) with a TRRS jack (adafruit.com/product/5764) on the end, for making customizable HID devices that use simple 3.5mm audio jack connectors. ideally something that will make AT - Accessibility Technology - projects EZ to build and maintain. here's our take on it, what's interesting is each pin of the jack - including the two switches for tip and ring1 - connect to GPIO / analog inputs on the SAMD21. there's no pre-defined VCC or GND because different switch and joystick makers have different configurations and we might want to change around what pins are power, ground, pullups, etc! this board will be great for use with CircuitPython to make any sort of AT switch or potentiometer interface super fast, to demo it we've written up a quick CPy sketch that will listen for two switches, and when they're pressed, blink the NeoPixel and emit keypresses as if its a keyboard. code is in the PR for this board (#issuecomment-2067764251" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/adafruit/circu…) since we have great HID support it could also be a mouse or joystick device and it will work with any computer/tablet/console with a USB port.

@CapazDeJugar A single internal 1/4"-20 UNC is compatible with a range of commercial and DIY mounting options. The XAC also has two #10-24 spaced 1.912". This is across the diagonal of the AMPS mounting standard.

TIL about takeout.google.com - an easy way to export all your data from Google. This should make it easier to free up some space from old photos.

@TechOWLpa There is a similar DIY Open AT option from Volksswitch: volksswitch.org/index.php/volk…

Zubits pass the vibe check! We love a product that is affordable, quality, and actually addresses a huge need! #AssistiveTech #OccupationalTherapy #disability

@TechOWLpa What is the first one? The one supporting the hand to use the tablet?

This is why we #3Dprint #AssistiveTechnology 🥰

.@printablescom Any way we can add an #AssistiveTechnology tag to Printables.com? 😉 There's a whole community out there dedicated to #OpenSource AT!

Took me a while, but I finally got this project documented and published. makersmakingchange.com/project/horizo… #OpenAT #AssistiveTechnology #MouthPainter

Congrats to all the teams for their hard work. Hope to see many of these designs submitted to the @MakerMakeChange library so they can be built and get out to people that need them! #OpenAT #AssistiveTech

@JosieVersloot @kalculberson @Xbox @PlayStation @RAMMounts Would be great to have a variant of these with a 1/4"-20 UNC female thread (e.g., T-Nut) so they could work with cheap camera mounts / magic arms too!

Sometimes when gaming, mounting the controller can make a big difference for someone with a disability. My summer student @kalculberson made these handy @Xbox and @PlayStation controller attachment for @RAMMounts to make mounting easier! #accessibility #AdaptiveGaming #3Dprinting

@janellessingh I appreciate the colour choice!

It's raining raindrop switches!! They are now ready to go to loving homes. Contact me for more info! #MMC #YEG #AT #makersmakingchange

@JosieVersloot I know a good spot for those design files when you're finished ;)

An example of a simple modification I made to a Nintendo Switch controller this past summer, all this gamer needed was the buttons to be further apart and a bit bigger so 3D printed toppers did the trick! #3Dprinting #AdaptiveGaming #accessibility #NintendoSwitch

@annaecook Some great info on adding Braille to 3D prints here: github.com/makersmakingch…

@BillieRubenMake Wouldn't it be great if @autodesk open sourced the code for 123DMake or made Slice For Fusion 360 available again?

Anyone know an easy way to slice an STL into layers of svg suitable for laser cutting? So far I know of 123D (legacy) Slicer for Fusion 360 (also legacy) Luban (paid) Anyone know of anything nice and easy to use that we could have in a class/workshop (of adults)?

Voted for the candidate that best represents my values and interests. J/k. Once again, voted to minimize the chance of the bigger turd. Thanks archaic #FPTP. #cdnpoli #Elxn44 #AdvancePolls

I guess the only thing left for @sincy12 is to save the planet in some sort of soccer SpaceJam 3?
