Unexpected Maker

Hey folks - I'm #livestreaming some PCB Design work in #KiCAD tomorrow. I hope to see some of you in the chat! youtube.com/live/Vp2HbrY_O… #maker #pcbdesign #projects

@toybuilder The 3x US planes were shot down by Qatar - Qatar have admitted it and stand by the downing of the planes because they had their transponders off - which is a breach of the rules of their airspace. Nothing to do with Israel or "stupid" rules of engagement. Facts matter.

I've ordered MANY PCB design shenanigans for the next #Livestream (bags of them) - Just to keep everyone entertained! I hope to see you all in chat so you can live **jeer* me on! youtube.com/live/l-mq4E6Ft… #maker #pcbdesign #projects

Next #livestream will be gold! Hope to see you in the chat.... c-what? youtube.com/live/-eLingw3N… #maker #pcbdesign #kicad

Last project using @unexpectedmaker and @adafruit hardware #circuitpython #homeassistant : movingelectrons.net/posts/freezer-…

It's #Livestream time - 2026 AI style! I hope to see you all in the chat! youtube.com/live/f_tBHQae9… #maker #electronics #projects

Calibrating a magnetometer for a 9-axis fusion compass solution, for a DIY omni-directional vehicle controller board, is never a fun thing to do - but making a real-time web tool to help users do it has been a "not fun", interesting challenge ;) #maker #robotics #projects

I just worked out why @netflix has to keep upping their subscription fees - because they waste so much money on rubbish like this! youtube.com/watch?v=qlMSib…

Next #Livestream could be LOOOOOOOOONG? I hope to see you all in chat! youtube.com/live/TqnfcUPDK…

@ItCanBe3 @JLCPCB Why? What has that got to do with JLC selling manual stencil printers?

@unexpectedmaker @JLCPCB Just use pcbway

Wow, @JLCPCB are now selling framed and frameless manual stencil printers. They offer them below the stencil area on the ordering page. Cool move JLC!

I have to say, @OpenAI Codex has been 60/40 so far with it's ability to do great work - versus ignoring instructions, wasting time and breaking things... but today, with this change, OpenAI has gone way too far into the "totally reckless with customers time and money" area.

I was gonna wait until all of the Season 5 Eps were out (it's being released in 2 chunks) before watching #StrangerThings S5, but SCREW THAT! Let the part 1 binge begin!

Oh that's pretty wild! Thanks for sharing!

Next #livestream, I'm working on a custom tester PCB for an "under NDA" project, but the work on the board is ok to do live ... so I will be! Hope to catch some of you in the chat! #kicad #pcbdesign #testjig youtube.com/live/Cq5xxA52M…

Next #Livestream I have some SQUiXL goodness to work on and share. Hope to see you in chat! youtube.com/live/GchXvYZgA… #maker #projects

Next #Livestream - all maker, no politics.... hope to see you in the chat! youtube.com/live/U8XcjLhuk…

@qark923 I never got the closed loop system working reliably - maybe one day I'll re visit if there is a significant update/improvement to the design.

I'm starting with a build of the Arctos 6DOF robot arm. All the printable parts are printed and the closed loop parts kit arrived, now I just have to put it together. I wonder how it's gona go, I've seen some people (like the unexpected maker) struggle with it a bit. did you ever finish it @unexpectedmaker?

@optoio Only if it requires no IO ;) Hahahaha...... but wowza!

Hey @unexpectedmaker you reckon the TinyWatch and/or the SQUiXL could benefit from this? :P
